Fig.1 - Makita HW1200 Instruction Manual

Noise
The typical A-weighted noise level determined accord-
ing to EN60335-2-79:
Model HW1200
Sound pressure level (L
Uncertainty (K) : 3.8 dB(A)
Model HW1300
Sound pressure level (L
Uncertainty (K) : 2.4 dB(A)
The noise level under working may exceed 80 dB (A).
WARNING:
Wear ear protection.
Vibration
The vibration total value (tri-axial vector sum) deter-
mined according to EN60335-2-79:
Model HW1200
Vibration emission (a ) : 4.11 m/s
h
Uncertainty (K) : 1.5 m/s
Model HW1300
Vibration emission (a ) : 4.86 m/s
h
Uncertainty (K) : 1.5 m/s
NOTE: The declared vibration emission value has
been measured in accordance with the standard test
method and may be used for comparing one tool with
another.
NOTE: The declared vibration emission value
may also be used in a preliminary assessment of
exposure.
WARNING:
The vibration emission during actual
use of the power tool can differ from the declared
emission value depending on the ways in which the
tool is used.
WARNING:
Be sure to identify safety measures
to protect the operator that are based on an estima-
tion of exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking
account of all parts of the operating cycle such as
the times when the tool is switched off and when it is
running idle in addition to the trigger time).

Work area safety
1. Keep operating area clear of all persons.
2. Do not overreach or stand on unstable sup-
ports. Keep good footing and balance at all
times.
3. Always place the high pressure washer body
on a level and stable surface. Avoid areas
where the ejected water will run or pool.
4. Before cleaning, check the surroundings and
objects to be cleaned. High pressure jets can
scrape away paint or other surface treatments
including toxic chemicals. Take the preventive
measures if necessary.
Be careful not to trip over by the cord or hose
5.
of the high pressure washer. Always be aware
of the configuration of the cord and hose
during operation.
During use, a small amount of water will come
6.
out from the bottom of the high pressure
washer. Avoid locating the high pressure
washer in the areas where you don't want to
wet.
Personal safety
1. To protect against the jet and objects by the
jet, operators should wear appropriate cloth-
ing such as safety boots, safety gloves, safety
helmets with visors, hearing protection, etc.
2. Do not use the high pressure washer within
range of persons unless they wear protective
clothing.
3. To reduce the risk of injury, close supervision
is necessary when the product is used near
children.
4. Water that has flowed through backflow pre-
venter is considered to be non-potable.
Electrical safety
1. Never use the high pressure washer outdoors
in the rain.
2. Never touch the mains plug and/or socket with
wet hands.
Do not use the machine if the supply cord or
3.
important parts of the machine are damaged,
e.g. safety devices, high pressure hoses, or
the trigger gun.
4. Plug must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter
plug with grounded tools. Unmodified plug and
matching outlet will reduce risk of the electric
shock.
5. Inadequate extension cords can be dangerous.
If an extension cord is used, it shall be suitable
for outdoor use, and the connection has to be
kept dry and off the ground. It is recommended
that this is accomplished by means of a cord reel
which keeps the socket at least 60 mm above the
ground.
Note the following when using extension
6.
cords:
• Use only extension cords that are
intended for outdoor use.
