Makita PM001G Instruction Manual page 8

10. Never point the nozzle at anyone in the vicinity
when using the machine.
11. Never block suction inlet and/or mist blower
outlet.
• Be careful not to block suction inlet or
mist blower outlet with dust or dirt when
operating in dusty area.
• Do not use nozzles other than the nozzles
provided by Makita.
12. Do not operate the machine near open window,
etc.
13. Operating the machine only at reasonable
hours is recommended - not early in the
morning or late at night when people might be
disturbed.
14. If the machine strikes any foreign objects or
should start making any unusual noise or
vibration, immediately switch off the machine
to stop it. Remove the battery cartridges
from the machine and inspect the machine
for damage before restarting and operating
the machine. If the machine is damaged, ask
Makita Authorized Service Centers for repair.
15. Do not insert fingers or other objects into
suction inlet or mist blower outlet.
16. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before inserting
battery cartridges, picking up or carrying the
machine. Carrying the machine with your fin-
ger on the switch or energizing the machine
that has the switch on invites accidents.
17. Do not operate the machine near flammable
materials.
18. Avoid operating the machine for a long time in
low temperature environment.
19. Do not use the machine when there is a risk of
lightning.
20. When you use the machine on muddy ground,
wet slope, or slippery place, pay attention to
your footing.
21. Do not use the machine in bad weather where
visibility is limited. Failure to do so may cause
fall or incorrect operation due to low visibility.
22. Do not submerge the machine into a puddle.
23. Do not leave the machine unattended outdoors
in the rain.
24. Do not use the machine in the snow.
25. During operation, keep the cord away from
obstacles. The cord caught by obstacles may
cause serious injury.
26. Avoid working in freezing temperatures as the
liquid in the tank may freeze.
After operation
Always wash yourself thoroughly with soap
1.
and water after spraying or handling chemi-
cals. Shower immediately, and wash all pro-
tective clothing separately from other items.
Follow any additional recommendations of the
chemical manufacturer.
2. Empty, rinse and clean the tank and strainer
after each use. This helps to prevent the
solution from crystallizing, which could later
cause clogging and chemical damage to the
machine. In addition, residual chemicals may
have undesirable effects during subsequent
spraying with a different type of chemical (e.g.,
residual herbicide may damage or kill plants
being sprayed with a pesticide).
3. Do not store the machine with spray solution
in the tank.
Maintenance and storage
1. Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure
the machine is in safe working condition.
If the parts are worn or damaged, replace them
2.
with parts provided by Makita.
Store the machine in a dry place out of the
3.
reach of children.
4. When you stop the machine for inspection,
servicing, storage, or changing accessory,
switch off the machine and make sure that all
moving parts come to a complete stop, and
remove the battery cartridges. Cool down
the machine before making any work on the
machine. Maintain the machine with care and
keep it clean.
5. Always cool down the machine before storing.
Do not expose the machine to rain. Store the
6.
machine indoors.
7. When you lift the machine, be sure to bend
your knees and be careful not to hurt your
back.
8. When washing the machine, do not let water
enter the electrical mechanism such as bat-
tery, motor, and terminals.
9. When storing the machine, avoid direct sun-
light and rain, and store it in a place where it
does not get hot or humid.
10. When carrying the machine, be sure to hold
the machine firmly.
11. When carrying the machine, be careful not to
get the cord caught by obstacles.
Battery tool use and care
1. Recharge only with the charger specified by
the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for
one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire
when used with another battery pack.
2. Use power tools only with specifically desig-
nated battery packs. Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
3. When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects, like paper clips,
coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal
objects, that can make a connection from one
terminal to another. Shorting the battery termi-
nals together may cause burns or a fire.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
4.
ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If con-
tact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If
liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical
help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.
