Additional Safety Rules For Tool - Makita LW1400 Instruction Manual

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.
7. Use of power supply via an RCD with a rated
residual current of 30 mA or less is always
recommended.
Personal Safety
1. 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 med-
ication. A moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious personal injury.
Use personal protective equipment. Always
2.
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.
3. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before connecting
to power source and/or battery pack, picking
up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with
your finger on the switch or energising power tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
4. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
6. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewel-
lery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
7. 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.
3. Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such pre-
ventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the power tool accidentally.
4. Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
dren and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the power tool or these instructions to operate
the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
5. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage 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.
6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
7. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
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.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
1.
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
2. Follow instruction for lubricating and chang-
ing accessories.
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and
3.
grease.

Additional safety rules for tool

1. Wear protective glasses. Also wear hear-
ing protection during extended periods of
operation.
2. Use only wheels recommended by the man-
ufacturer which have a maximum operating
speed at least as high as "No Load RPM"
marked on the tool's nameplate. Use only
fiberglass-reinforced cut-off wheels.
3. Check the wheel carefully for cracks or dam-
age before operation. Replace cracked or
damaged wheel immediately.
4. Secure the wheel carefully.
5. Use only flanges specified for this tool.
Be careful not to damage the spindle, flanges
6.
(especially the installing surface) or bolt, or
the wheel itself might break.
7. Keep guards in place and in working order.
8. Hold the handle firmly.
9. Keep hands away from rotating parts.
10. Make sure the wheel is not contacting the
work-piece before the switch is turned on.
11. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece,
let it simply run for several minutes first.
Watch for flutter or excessive vibration that
might be caused by poor installation or a
poorly balanced wheel.
12. Watch out for flying sparks when operating.
They can cause injury or ignite combustible
materials.
13. Remove material or debris from the area
that might be ignited by sparks. Be sure that
others are not in the path of the sparks. Keep
a proper, charged fire extinguisher closely
available.
14. Use the cutting edge of the wheel only. Never
use side surface.
