Additional Safety Rules - Makita JN3200 Instruction Manual

14. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery
or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
15. If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of
these devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
Power tool use and care
16. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct power
tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for
which it was designed.
17. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not
turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
18. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/
or the battery pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing power tools. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
19. Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
dren and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the power tool or these instructions to operate
the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
20. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the power
tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool
repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
21. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
22. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions and in
the manner intended for the particular type of
power tool, taking into account the working con-
ditions and the work to be performed. Use of the
power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Service
23. 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.
24. Follow instruction for lubricating and changing
accessories.
25. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and
grease.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES

1. Always be sure that the tool is switched off
and unplugged before carrying out any work
on the tool.
2. Always lead the power supply cord away from
the tool towards the rear.
3. Do not touch the blade or the workpiece
immediately after operation; they may be
extremely hot and could burn your skin.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Pre-lubrication
Coat the cutting line with tool oil when cutting mild
steel or stainless; use light oil or kerosene when cut-
ting aluminum.
Switch action (Fig. 1)
CAUTION:
Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that
the switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the
"OFF" position when released.
To start the tool, simply pull the trigger. Release the
trigger to stop. For continuous operation, pull the trig-
ger and then push in the lock button. To stop the tool
from the locked position, pull the trigger fully, then
release it.
Permissible cutting thickness (Fig. 2)
The thickness of material to be cut depends upon the
tensile strength of the material itself. The groove on
the die holder acts as a thickness gauge. Do not
attempt to cut any material which will not fit into this
groove.
Max.cutting capacities
Steel up to 400 N/mm
Steel up to 600 N/mm
Steel up to 800 N/mm
Aluminum up to 200 N/mm
This tool can cut any thickness of aluminum plate that
fits into the tool's mouth (3.5 mm clearance).
Cutting method (Fig. 3)
Smooth cutting is achieved by holding the tool upright
and applying gentle pressure in the cutting direction.
Apply tool oil to the punch about every 10 meters of
mild steel or stainless steel to be cut. Light oil or ker-
osene should be used to keep an aluminum lubri-
cated continuously. Failure to lubricate aluminum in
the cut will cause chips to adhere to the tool, dulling
the die and punch and increasing load on the motor.
