Safety Warnings Common For Grinding Or Abrasive Cutting-Off Operations - Hitachi G 14DMR Handling Instructions Manual

English
5) Battery tool use and care
a) 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.
b) Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs.
Use of any other battery packs may create a risk
of injury and fire.
c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
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 terminals together may
cause burns or a fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.
6) Service
a) 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.
PRECAUTION
Keep children and infirm persons away.
When not in use, tools should be stored out of reach of
children and infirm persons.
SAFETY WARNINGS COMMON FOR
GRINDING OR ABRASIVE CUTTING-OFF
OPERATIONS
a) This power tool is intended to function as a grinder
or cut-off tool. Read all safety warnings, instructions,
illustrations and specifications provided with this
power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
b) Operations such as sanding, wire brushing or
polishing are not recommended to be performed
with this power tool.
Operations for which the power tool was not
designed may create a hazard and cause personal
injury.
c) Do not use accessories which are not specifically
designed and recommended
manufacturer.
Just because the accessory can be attached to your
power tool, it does not assure safe operation.
d) The rated speed of the accessory must be at least
equal to the maximum speed marked on the power
tool.
Accessories running faster than their rated speed
can break and fly apart.
e) The outside diameter and the thickness of your
accessory must be within the capacity rating of
your power tool.
Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be adequately
guarded or controlled.

f) The arbour size of wheels, flanges, backing pads
or any other accessory must properly fit the spindle
of the power tool.
Accessories with arbour holes that do not match
the mounting hardware of the power tool will run
out of balance, vibrate excessively and may cause
loss of control.
g) Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use
inspect the accessory such as abrasive wheels for
chips and cracks, backing pad for cracks, tear or
excess wear, wire brush for loose or cracked wires.
If power tool or accessory is dropped, inspect for
damage or install an undamaged accessory. After
inspecting and installing an accessory, position
yourself and bystanders away from the plane of
the rotating accessory and run the power tool at
maximum no-load speed for one minute.
Damaged accessories will normally break apart
during this test time.
h) Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on
application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety
glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing
protectors, gloves and workshop apron capable of
stopping small abrasive or workpiece fragments.
The eye protection must be capable of stopping
flying debris generated by various operations. The
dust mask or respirator must be capable of filtrating
particles generated by your operation.
Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may
cause hearing loss.
i) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work
area. Anyone entering the work area must wear
personal protective equipment.
Fragments of workpiece or of a broken accessory
may fly away and cause injury beyond immediate
area of operation.
j) Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
only, when performing an operation where the
cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its
own cord.
Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and
shock the operator.
k) Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory.
If you lose control, the cord may be cut or snagged
and your hand or arm may be pulled into the
spinning accessory.
l) Never lay the power tool down until the accessory
has come to a complete stop.
The spinning accessory may grab the surface and
pull the power tool out of your control.
m) Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your
by the tool
side.
Accidental contact with the spinning accessory could
snag your clothing, pulling the accessory into your
body.
n) Regularly clean the power tool's air vents.
The motor's fan will draw the dust inside the housing
and excessive accumulation of powdered metal may
cause electrical hazards.
o) Do not operate the power tool near flammable
materials.
Sparks could ignite these materials.
p) Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants.
Using water or other liquid coolants may result in
electrocution or shock.
