·
Make sure a cord is located where it will not be
stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected
to damage or stress. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock or fire.
8. Do not overreach.
·
Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool in unex-
pected situations.
9. Maintain power tools.
·
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
Damaged blades may cause personal injury.
·
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and
grease. Slippery handles may result in personal
injury.
·
Check power cord of the charger regularly.
Damaged cord will increase risk of electric shock
or short circuit resulting in fire.
10. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on.
·
A wrench or key left attached to a rotating part of
the power tool may result in personal injury.
11. When charging outdoors, use a cabtyre cable
or a cabtyre extension cord.
·
Use only the accessories or attachments
described in this Instruction Manual and the
Makita catalog. Use of any other accessories or
attachments may result in an accident or injury.
12. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool.
·
Do not use a power tool while you are tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medica
-
tion. A moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious personal injury.
13. Check for damaged parts before use.
·
Check safety covers and other parts that may
affect the tools function for breakage or damage. If
damaged, replace or repair before use.
·
Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other condition
that may affect the power tool’s operation. If dam-
aged, have the power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
·
Do not use damaged extension cord. If damaged
replace it before use. Use of damaged extension
cord will increase risk of electric shock or short
circuit resulting in fire.
·
Do not use the charger if the power cord or power
plug is damaged or if it is dropped or it is damaged
in any way. A damaged charger will increase risk
of electric shock or short circuit resulting in fire.
·
Do not use a power tool if the switch doesn’t turn
it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be con-
trolled with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
·
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories.
·
Disconnect the battery from the power tool before
making any adjustment or changing accessories.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk
of starting the power tool accidentally.
14. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the
power tool is maintained.
·
Do not disassemble or modify the battery and
charger.
·
This power tool is designed in conformity with
safety regulations. Do not modify a power tool.
·
Have your power tool serviced if it overheats or if
any other unusual symptoms are observed.
·
Do not permit an unqualified person to repair the
tool as this may compromise the tool safety and
result in accident and personal injury.
15. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo
-
spheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust.
Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Electrical Safety
1. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power
tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
2. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of elec-
tric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet con
-
ditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
4. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges
or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
5. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of
a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
6. If operating a power tool in a damp location
is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply.
Use of an RCD reduces
the risk of electric shock.
Personal Safety
1. Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such
as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
2. If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used.
Use of
dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
Power tool use and care
1. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application.
The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
2. Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn it on and off.
Any power tool that cannot
be controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
