Abstract
A trigger assembly for an electric power tool includes a switch for electrical connection to the power tool for controlling operation of the power tool, and a trigger coupled with the switch for operating the switch. The trigger is pivotable about an upper end between an outer position in which the switch is open and an inner position in which the switch is closed. Also included is a locking member located adjacent the lower end of the trigger for locking the trigger in the outer position. The locking member is movable from a locking position, locking the trigger in the outer position, to an unlocking position releasing the trigger.
