Safety Warnings; Save All Warnings And Instruc- Tions For Future Reference - Makita HW1200 Instruction Manual

For public low-voltage distribution
systems of between 220 V and 250 V
Switching operations of electric apparatus cause volt-
age fluctuations. The operation of this device under
unfavorable mains conditions can have adverse effects
to the operation of other equipment. With a mains
impedance equal or less than 0.25 Ohms it can be pre-
sumed that there will be no negative effects. The mains
socket used for this device must be protected with a
fuse or protective circuit breaker having slow tripping
characteristics.
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 total value(s) has been
measured in accordance with a standard test method
and may be used for comparing one tool with another.
NOTE: The declared vibration total value(s) 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 value(s) depending on the ways in which
the tool is used especially what kind of workpiece
is processed.
WARNING:
Be sure to identify safety mea-
sures to protect the operator that are based on an
estimation 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).

SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING:
all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury.
Save all warnings and instruc-
tions for future reference.
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.
5. Be careful not to trip over by the cord or hose
of the high pressure washer. Always be aware
of the configuration of the cord and hose
during operation.
6. During use, a small amount of water will come
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.
Never touch the mains plug and/or socket with
2.
wet hands.
3. Do not use the machine if the supply cord or
important parts of the machine are damaged,
e.g. safety devices, high pressure hoses, or
the trigger gun.
Plug must match the outlet. Never modify
4.
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.
