Functional Description - Makita M3702 Instruction Manual

8. Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,
clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for
safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
When using the tool, do not wear cloth work
9.
gloves which may be entangled. The entangle-
ment of cloth work gloves in the moving parts may
result in personal injury.
Service
1. 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.
2. Follow instruction for lubricating and chang-
ing accessories.
Trimmer safety warnings
1. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, because the cutter may contact
its own cord. Cutting 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 plat-
form. Holding the work by your hand or against
the body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of
control.
The trimmer bit shank must match the
3.
designed collet chuck.
4. Only use a trimmer bit that is rated at least
equal to the maximum speed marked on the
tool.
Wear hearing protection during extended
5.
period of operation.
6. Handle the trimmer bits very carefully.
7. Check the trimmer bit carefully for cracks or
damage before operation. Replace cracked or
damaged bit immediately.
Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all
8.
nails from the workpiece before operation.
9. Hold the tool firmly.
10. Keep hands away from rotating parts.
Make sure the trimmer bit is not contacting the
11.
workpiece before the switch is turned on.
12. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece,
let it run for a while. Watch for vibration or
wobbling that could indicate improperly
installed bit.
13. Be careful of the trimmer bit rotating direction
and the feed direction.
14. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
15. Always switch off and wait for the trimmer bit
to come to a complete stop before removing
the tool from workpiece.
16. Do not touch the trimmer bit immediately after
operation; it may be extremely hot and could
burn your skin.
17. Do not smear the base carelessly with thin-
ner, gasoline, oil or the like. They may cause
cracks in the base.
18. Some material contains chemicals which may
be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhala-
tion and skin contact. Follow material supplier
safety data.
19. Always use the correct dust mask/respirator
for the material and application you are work-
ing with.
20. Place the tool on stable area. Otherwise falling
accident may occur and cause an injury.
