Maintenance; Additional Safety Rules - Makita UB1100 Instruction Manual

17. 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.
18. 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 preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
19. 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.
20. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the power
tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool
repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
21. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
22. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions and in
the manner intended for the particular type of
power tool, taking into account the working con-
ditions and the work to be performed. Use of the
power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Service
23. 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.
24. Follow instruction for lubricating and changing
accessories.
25. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and
grease.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES

1. Always use protective goggles, a cap and mask
when using the blower.
2. Never point the nozzle at anyone in the vicinity
when using the blower.
3. Always use the dust bag when collecting dust,
chips and the like.
4. Do not collect still smoldering cigarette ashes,
freshly cut metals shavings, screws, nails and
the like.
Warning – Electric shock could occur if used on
wet surfaces. Do not expose to rain. Store

5. Never block suction inlet and/or blower outlet.
Increased motor revolution may cause danger-
ous fan breakage.
6. The blower is not intended for use by young chil-
dren or infirm persons without supervision.
7. Young children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the blower.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
