Makita HW001G Instruction Manual page 7

24. Depending on the application, shielded noz-
zles can be used for high pressure cleaning,
which will reduce the emission of hydrous
aerosols dramatically. However, not all appli-
cations allow the use of such a device. If
shielded nozzles are not applicable for the pro-
tection against aerosols, a respiratory mask
of class FFP 2 or equivalent may be needed,
depending on the cleaning environment.
25. The employer shall perform a risk assessment
in order to specify the necessary protective
measures regarding aerosols, depending on
the surface to be cleaned and its environment.
Respiratory masks of class FFP 2, an equiv-
alent or higher are suitable for the protection
against hydrous aerosols.
26. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before connecting
to battery pack, picking up or carrying the
appliance. Carrying the appliance with your finger
on the switch or energizing appliance that have
the switch on invites accidents.
27. Disconnect the battery pack from the appli-
ance before making any adjustments, chang-
ing accessories, or storing appliance. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the appliance accidentally.
28. Do not modify or attempt to repair the appli-
ance or the battery pack except as indicated in
the instructions for use and care.
29. Do not apply the water jet to the same area con-
tinuously. The object may break and cause an injury.
30. Do not wash the machine with the water jet of
this machine. The machine may break or parts of
the machine may come off and cause an injury.
31. To avoid risk of electric shock, do not direct
the water jet against the machine while the
machine is turned on.
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.
4. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
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.
5. Do not use a battery pack or tool that is dam-
aged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries
may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in
fire, explosion or risk of injury.
6. Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or tem-
perature above 130 °C may cause explosion.
7. Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specified in the instruc-
tions. Charging improperly or at temperatures
outside the specified range may damage the
battery and increase the risk of fire.
