BEWARE OF ASBESTOS AND SILICON DUST AND
OTHER CONTAMINATION
• Take care not to inhale dust produced in the work site. Inha-
lation of asbestos fibers may be the cause of lung cancer. In-
halation of silicon dust and other contamination may cause
sickness.
• Depending on the wok site conditions, the risk of inhaling
asbestos fiber, silicon dust or other contamination may
exist. Spray water to prevent asbestos, silicon dust or oth-
er contamination from airborne. Do not use compressed
air.
• When operating the machine in a work site where asbes-
tos, silicon dust or other contamination might be present,
be sure to operate the machine from the upwind side and
wear a mask rated to prevent the inhalation of asbestos,
silicon dust or other contamination.
• Keep bystanders out of the work site during operation.
• Asbestos might present in imitation parts. Use only genu-
ine Hitachi Parts.
PREVENT BATTERY EXPLOSIONS
• Battery gas can explode.
• Keep sparks, lighted matches, and flame away from the
top of battery.
• Never check battery charge by placing a metal object
across the posts. Use a voltmeter or hydrometer.
• Do not charge a frozen battery; it may explode. Warm the
battery to 16˚C ( 60˚ F ) first.
• Do not continue to use or charge the battery when elec-
trolyte level is lower than specified. Explosion of the bat-
tery may result.
• Loose terminals may produce sparks. Securely tighten all
terminals.
• Battery electrolyte is poisonous. If the battery should ex-
plode, battery electrolyte may be splashed into eyes, pos-
sibly resulting in blindness.
• Be sure to wear eye protection when checking electrolyte
specific gravity.
SERVICE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM SAFELY
• If spilled onto skin, refrigerant may cause a cold contact
burn.
• Refer to the instructions described on the container for
proper use when handling the refrigerant.
• Use a recovery and recycling system to avoid leaking re-
frigerant into the atmosphere.
• Never touch the refrigerant.
