Additional Safety Instructions - Makita UP100D Instruction Manual

5. Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts, break-
age of parts and any other condition that may
affect the power tool's operation. If damaged, have
the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
6.
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
7.
etc. in accordance with these instructions, tak-
ing into account the working conditions and
the work to be performed. Use of the power tool
for operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
8. Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
9. When using the tool, do not wear cloth work
gloves which may be entangled. The entangle-
ment of cloth work gloves in the moving parts may
result in personal injury.
Battery tool use and care
1. Recharge only with the charger specified by
the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for
one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire
when used with another battery pack.
Use power tools only with specifically desig-
2.
nated battery packs. Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
3.
from other metal objects, like paper clips,
coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal
objects, that can make a connection from one
terminal to another. Shorting the battery termi-
nals together may cause burns or a fire.
4. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If con-
tact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If
liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical
help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.
5. Do not use a battery pack or tool that is dam-
aged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries
may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in
fire, explosion or risk of injury.
6. Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or tem-
perature above 130 °C may cause explosion.
7. Follow all charging instructions and do not charge
the battery pack or tool outside the temperature
range specified in the instructions. Charging improp-
erly or at temperatures outside the specified range may
damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
Service
1. 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.
2. Never service damaged battery packs. Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
3. Follow instruction for lubricating and chang-
ing accessories.
Pruning shears safety warnings
Do not use the pruning shear in bad weather
1.
conditions, especially when there is a risk of
lightning. This decreases the risk of being struck
by lightning.
Keep all power cords and cables away from
2.
cutting area. Power cords or cables may be
hidden and can be accidentally cut by the blade.
Hold the pruning shear by insulated gripping
3.
surfaces only, because the blade may contact
hidden wiring. Blades contacting a "live" wire
may make exposed metal parts of the pruning
shear "live" and could give the operator an electric
shock.
4. Keep all parts of the body away from the blade.
Do not remove cut material or hold material to
be cut when blades are moving.
5. When clearing jammed material or servicing
the pruning shear, make sure the power switch
is off and the battery pack is removed or dis-
connected. Unexpected actuation of the pruning
shear while clearing jammed material or servicing
may result in serious personal injury.
Carry the pruning shear by the handle with the
6.
blade stopped and taking care not to operate
the power switch. Proper carrying of the pruning
shear will decrease the risk of inadvertent starting
and resultant personal injury from the blades.
7. Check the hedges and bushes for foreign
objects, such as wire fences or hidden wiring
before operating the tool.
Hold the tool firmly when using the tool.
8.
9. The tool is intended to be used by the operator
at ground level. Do not use the tool on ladders
or any other unstable support.
