Safety Warnings - Makita HM004G Instruction Manual

Vibration
The vibration total value (tri-axial vector sum) deter-
mined according to EN62841-2-6:
Work mode: chiselling
Vibration emission (a
h, Cheq
Uncertainty (K) : 1.5 m/s
NOTE: The declared vibration total value(s) has been
measured in accordance with a standard test method
and may be used for comparing one tool with another.
NOTE: The declared vibration total value(s) may also
be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
WARNING:
The vibration emission during
actual use of the power tool can differ from the
declared value(s) depending on the ways in which
the tool is used especially what kind of workpiece
is processed.
WARNING:
Be sure to identify safety mea-
sures to protect the operator that are based on an
estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of
use (taking account of all parts of the operating
cycle such as the times when the tool is switched
off and when it is running idle in addition to the
trigger time).
Declarations of Conformity

Additional safety warnings
1. Wear a hard hat (safety helmet), safety glasses
and/or face shield. Ordinary eye or sun glasses
are NOT safety glasses. It is also highly recom-
mended that you wear a dust mask and thickly
padded gloves.
2. Be sure the bit is secured in place before
operation.
3. Under normal operation, the tool is designed
to produce vibration. The screws can come
loose easily, causing a breakdown or accident.
Check tightness of screws carefully before
operation.
4. In cold weather or when the tool has not been
used for a long time, let the tool warm up for
a while by operating it under no load. This
will loosen up the lubrication. Without proper
warm-up, hammering operation is difficult.
5. Always be sure you have a firm footing. Be
sure no one is below when using the tool in
high locations.
6. Hold the tool firmly with both hands.
7. Keep hands away from moving parts.
Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
8.
only when hand-held.
Do not point the tool at any one in the area
9.
when operating. The bit could fly out and
injure someone seriously.
10. Do not touch the bit, parts close to the bit, or
workpiece immediately after operation; they
may be extremely hot and could burn your
skin.
Some material contains chemicals which may
11.
be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhala-
tion and skin contact. Follow material supplier
safety data.
12. Always be sure that the tool is switched
off and the battery cartridge and the bit are
removed before handing the tool to other
person.
13. Before operation, make sure that there is no
buried object such as electric pipe, water pipe
or gas pipe in the working area. Otherwise, the
bit may touch them, resulting an electric shock,
electrical leakage or gas leak.
14. Do not operate the tool at no-load
unnecessarily.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
