Functional Description - Makita TM3000C Instruction Manual

Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result
in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
2. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, when performing an operation where the
cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its
own cord. Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire
may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live"
and could give the operator an electric shock.
3. Use clamps or another practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding
the work by hand or against your body leaves it
unstable and may lead to loss of control.
4. Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory.
If you lose control, the cord may be cut or snagged
and your hand or arm may be pulled into the spinning
accessory.
5. Always use safety glasses or goggles. Ordinary
eye or sun glasses are NOT safety glasses.
6. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect workpiece for any
nails and remove them before operation.
7. Hold the tool firmly.
8. Make sure the application tool is not contacting
the workpiece before the switch is turned on.
9. Keep hands away from moving parts.
10. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
11. Always switch off and wait for the blade to come
to a complete stop before removing the blade from
the workpiece.
12. Do not touch the application tool or the workpiece
immediately after operation; they may be
extremely hot and could burn your skin.
13. Do not operate the tool at no-load unnecessarily.
14. Always use the correct dust mask/respirator for
the material and application you are working with.
15. Some material contains chemicals which may be
toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhalation and
skin contact. Follow material supplier safety data.
16. This tool has not been waterproofed, so do not
use water on the workpiece surface.
17. Ventilate your work area adequately when you
perform sanding operations.
18. Use of this tool to sand some products, e.g.
leaded paint surfaces, wood and metals could
expose user and bystanders to dust containing
hazardous substances. Use appropriate
respiratory protection.
19. Be sure that there are no cracks or breakage on
the pad before use. Cracks or breakage may cause
a personal injury.
20. Do not use accessories which are not specifically
designed and recommended by the tool
manufacturer. Just because the accessory can be
attached to your power tool, it does not assure safe
operation.
21. Wear personal protective equipment. Depending
on application, use face shield, safety goggles or
safety glasses. As appropriate, wear hearing
protectors, gloves and workshop apron capable of
stopping small abrasive or workpiece fragments.
The eye protection must be capable of stopping flying
debris generated by various operations. The dust
mask or respirator must be capable of filtrating
particles generated by your operation. Prolonged
exposure to high intensity noise may cause hearing
loss.
22. Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work
area. Anyone entering the work area must wear
personal protective equipment. Fragments of
workpiece or of a broken accessory may fly away and
cause injury beyond immediate area of operation.
23. Never lay the power tool down until the accessory
has come to a complete stop. The spinning
accessory may grab the surface and pull the power
tool out of your control.
24. Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your
side. Accidental contact with the accessory could
snag your clothing, pulling the accessory into your
body.
25. Do not operate the power tool near flammable
materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
26. Do not use accessories that require liquid
coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may
result in electrocution or shock.
27. Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before carrying out any work on the
tool.
28. If working place is extremely hot and humid, or
badly polluted by conductive dust, use a short-
circuit breaker (30 mA) to assure operator safety.
29. Always be sure you have a firm footing. Be sure
no one is below when using the tool in high
locations.
30. Before starting operation, make sure that there is
no hidden supply lines such as electric, gas and
water lines under the working surface. Cutting or
damaging the supply lines may cause electric shock,
gas leakage, property damage, or other accidents.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
