Functional Description - Makita HR2652 Instruction Manual

6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
7. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions, tak-
ing into account the working conditions and
the work to be performed. Use of the power tool
for operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
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.
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.
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.
2. Follow instruction for lubricating and chang-
ing accessories.
ROTARY HAMMER SAFETY
WARNINGS
Safety instructions for all operations
1. Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can
cause hearing loss.
2. Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the
tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.
3. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, when performing an operation where
the cutting accessory may contact hidden wir-
ing 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.
Safety instructions when using long drill bits with
rotary hammers
1. Always start drilling at low speed and with the
bit tip in contact with the workpiece. At higher
speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate
freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting
in personal injury.
2. Apply pressure only in direct line with the bit
and do not apply excessive pressure. Bits can
bend, causing breakage or loss of control, result-
ing in personal injury.
Additional safety warnings
1. Wear a hard hat (safety helmet), safety glasses
and/or face shield. Ordinary eye or sun glasses
are NOT safety glasses. It is also highly recom-
mended that you wear a dust mask and thickly
padded gloves.
2. Be sure the bit is secured in place before
operation.
3. Under normal operation, the tool is designed
to produce vibration. The screws can come
loose easily, causing a breakdown or accident.
Check tightness of screws carefully before
operation.
4. In cold weather or when the tool has not been
used for a long time, let the tool warm up for
a while by operating it under no load. This
will loosen up the lubrication. Without proper
warm-up, hammering operation is difficult.
Always be sure you have a firm footing. Be
5.
sure no one is below when using the tool in
high locations.
Hold the tool firmly with both hands.
6.
Keep hands away from moving parts.
7.
Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
8.
only when hand-held.
9. Do not point the tool at any one in the area
when operating. The bit could fly out and
injure someone seriously.
10. Do not touch the bit, parts close to the bit, or
workpiece immediately after operation; they
may be extremely hot and could burn your
skin.
11. Some material contains chemicals which may
be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhala-
tion and skin contact. Follow material supplier
safety data.
12. Do not touch the power plug with wet hands.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
