Specific Safety Rules And Symbols - Hitachi CJ 18DGL Instruction Manual

WARNING
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to the State of California to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
● Lead from lead-based paints,
● Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
● Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially designed to
fi lter out microscopic particles.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES AND SYMBOLS

1. Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring.
Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could
give the operator an electric shock.
2. Use clamps or another practical way to secure
and support the workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the work by hand or against your body leaves
it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
3. ALWAYS wear ear protectors when using the
tool for extended periods.
Prolonged exposure to high intensity
noise can cause hearing loss.
4. NEVER touch moving parts.
NEVER place your hands, fi ngers or other body parts
near the tool's moving parts.
5. NEVER operate without all guards in place.
NEVER operate this tool without all guards or safety
features in place and in proper working order. If
maintenance or servicing requires the removal of a
guard or safety feature, be sure to replace the guard or
safety feature before resuming operation of the tool.
6. Use right tool.
Don't force small tool or attachment to do the job of a
heavy-duty tool.
Don't use tool for purpose not intended —for
example— don't use circular saw for cutting tree
limbs or logs.
7. Handle tool correctly.
Do not drop or throw the tool.
8. Keep all screws, bolts and covers tightly in place.
Keep all screws, bolts, and plates tightly mounted.
Check their condition periodically.
9. Do not use power tools if the plastic housing or
handle is cracked.
Cracks in the tool's housing or handle can lead to
electric shock. Such tools should not be used until
repaired.
10. Blades and accessories must be securely
mounted to the tool.
Prevent potential injuries to yourself or others.
Blades, cutting implements and accessories which
have been mounted to the tool should be secure and
tight.
11. Keep motor air vent clean.
The tool's motor air vent must be kept clean so that
air can freely fl ow at all times. Check for dust build-up
frequently.
12. NEVER leave tool running unattended. Turn
power off .
Don't leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.
13. Carefully handle power tools.
Should a power tool be dropped or struck against
hard materials inadvertently, it may be deformed,
cracked, or damaged.
14. Do not wipe plastic parts with solvent.
Solvents such as gasoline, thinner benzine, carbon
tetrachloride, and alcohol may damage and crack
plastic parts. Do not wipe them with such solvents.
Wipe plastic parts with a soft cloth lightly dampened
with soapy water and dry thoroughly.
15. ALWAYS wear eye protection that meets the
requirement of the latest revision of ANSI
Standard Z87.1.
16. ALWAYS fi rmly grip the handle while operating.
17. Defi nitions for symbols used on this tool

Hz ...............hertz
A .................amperes
n
o ...............no load speed
---/min .........revolutions or reciprocation per minute
18. NEVER touch the blade with bare hands after
operation.
