Makita DKP140 Instruction Manual page 4

9. When using the tool, do not wear cloth work
gloves which may be entangled. The entangle-
ment of cloth work gloves in the moving parts may
result in personal injury.
Battery tool use and care
1. Recharge only with the charger specified by
the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for
one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire
when used with another battery pack.
2. Use power tools only with specifically desig-
nated battery packs. Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
3. When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects, like paper clips,
coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal
objects, that can make a connection from one
terminal to another. Shorting the battery termi-
nals together may cause burns or a fire.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
4.
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact acci-
dentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts
eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected
from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
5. Do not use a battery pack or tool that is dam-
aged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries
may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in
fire, explosion or risk of injury.
6. Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or tem-
perature above 130 °C may cause explosion.
7. Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specified in the instruc-
tions. Charging improperly or at temperatures
outside the specified range may damage the
battery and increase the risk of fire.
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.
Never service damaged battery packs. Service
2.
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
Follow instruction for lubricating and chang-
3.
ing accessories.
Cordless Planer Safety Warnings
1. Wait for the cutter to stop before setting the
tool down. An exposed rotating cutter may
engage the surface leading to possible loss of
control and serious injury.
2. Use clamps or another practical way to secure
and support the workpiece to a stable plat-
form. Holding the workpiece by your hand or
against the body leaves it unstable and may lead
to loss of control.
3. Rags, cloth, cord, string and the like should
never be left around the work area.
4. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all
nails from the workpiece before operation.
5. Use only sharp blades. Handle the blades very
carefully.
6. Be sure the blade installation bolts are
securely tightened before operation.
Hold the tool firmly with both hands.
7.
8. Keep hands away from rotating parts.
9. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece,
let it run for a while. Watch for vibration or
wobbling that could indicate poor installation
or a poorly balanced blade.
10. Make sure the blade is not contacting the
workpiece before the switch is turned on.
11. Wait until the blade attains full speed before
cutting.
12. Always switch off and wait for the blades to
come to a complete stop before any adjusting.
13. Never stick your finger into the chip chute.
Chute may jam when cutting damp wood.
Clean out chips with a stick.
14. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
15. Always change both blades or covers on the
drum, otherwise the resulting imbalance will
cause vibration and shorten tool life.
16. Use only Makita blades specified in this
manual.
17. Always use the correct dust mask/respirator
for the material and application you are work-
ing with.
