Dress Properly; Additional Safety Rules For Tool - Makita 2414nb Instruction Manual

When not in use, tools should be stored in a dry, high
or locked up place, out of reach of children.
6. Do not force the tool.
It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it
was intended.
7. Use the right tool.
Do not force small tools or attachments to do the job of
a heavy duty tool. Do not use tools for purposes not
intended; for example, do not use circular saws to cut
tree limbs or logs.

8. Dress properly.

Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery, they can be
caught in moving parts. Rubber gloves and non-skid
footwear are recommended when working outdoors.
Wear protecting hair covering to contain long hair.
9. Use safety glasses and hearing protection.
Also use face or dust mask if the cutting operation is
dusty.
10. Connect dust extraction equipment.
If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities ensure these are
connected and properly used.
11. Do not abuse the cord.
Never carry the tool by the cord or yank it to
disconnect it from the socket. Keep the cord away
from heat, oil and sharp edges.
12. Secure work.
Use clamps or a vice to hold the work. It is safer than
using your hand and it frees both hands to operate the
tool.
13. Do not overreach.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
14. Maintain tools with care.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean for better and safer
performance. Follow instructions for lubrication and

service facility. Inspect extension cords periodically
and replace, if damaged. Keep handles dry, clean and
free from oil and grease.
15. Disconnect tools.
When not in use, before servicing and when changing
accessories such as blades, bits and cutters.
16. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches.
Form the habit of checking to see that keys and
adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool before
turning it on.
17. Avoid unintentional starting.
Do not carry a plugged-in tool with a finger on the
switch. Ensure switch is off when plugging in.

When tool is used outdoors, use only extension cords
intended for outdoor use.
19. Stay alert.
Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do
not operate tool when you are tired.
20. Check damaged parts.
Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part
that is damaged should be carefully checked to
determine that it will operate properly and perform its
intended function. Check for alignment of moving
parts, free running of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting and any other conditions that may affect its
operation. A guard or other part that is damaged
should be properly repaired or replaced by an
6
authorized service center unless otherwise indicated
in this instruction manual. Have defective switches
replaced by an authorized service facility. Do not use
the tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.

those recommended in this instruction manual or the
catalog, may present a risk of personal injury.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES
FOR TOOL
1. Wear protective glasses. Also wear hearing
protection during extended periods of operation.
2. Use only wheels recommended by the
manufacturer 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 damage
before operation. Replace cracked or damaged
wheel immediately.
4. Secure the wheel carefully.
5. Use only flanges specified for this tool.
6. Be careful not to damage the spindle, flanges
(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.
15. If the wheel stops during the operation, makes an
odd noise or begins to vibrate, switch off the tool
immediately.
16. Always switch off and wait for the wheel to come
to a complete stop before removing, securing
workpiece, working vise, changing work position,
angle or the wheel itself.
17. Do not touch the workpiece immediately after
operation; it is extremely hot and could burn your
skin.
18. Store wheels in a dry location only.
