To choose the proper extension cord,
In order to help prevent accidental starting and to help
make your work area “kidproof,” this machine is pro-
vided with a means to deactivate the functioning of the
motor switch. The switch is equipped with a lockout
tab that can be used with a lock to prevent movement
of the switch. With the switch unable to move the
motor cannot be turned on. Removing the lock reacti-
vates the switch.
