Specific Safety Rules - Makita 1002BA Instruction Manual

Tool Use and Care
15. Use clamps or other practical way to secure
and support the workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the work by hand or against your body is
unstable and may lead to loss of control.
16. Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your
application. The correct tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
17. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or
off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
18. Disconnect the plug from the power source
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories,
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the tool accidentally.
19. Store idle tools out of reach of children and
other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in
the hands of untrained users.
20. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools
sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
21. Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, and any other
condition that may affect the tool's operation.
If damaged, have the tool serviced before

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product
(gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence
to planer safety rules. If you use this tool unsafely or
incorrectly, you can suffer serious personal injury.
1. Rags, cloth, cord, string and the like should
never be left around the work area.
2. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all
nails from the workpiece before operation.
3. Use only sharp blades. Handle the blades very
carefully.
4. Be sure the blade installation bolts are
securely tightened before operation.
5. Hold the tool firmly with both hands.

using. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained tools.
22. Use only accessories that are recommended
by
Accessories that may be suitable for one tool, may
become hazardous when used on another tool.
Service
23. Tool service must be performed only by
qualified
maintenance performed by unqualified personnel
could result in a risk of injury.
24. When servicing a tool, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow instructions in the
Such Maintenance section of this manual. Use of
unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance
instructions may create a risk of electric shock or
injury.
USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to
carry the current your product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table 1
shows the correct size to use depending on cord
length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use
the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number,
the heavier the cord.

6. Keep hands away from rotating parts.
7. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece,
let it run for a while. Watch for vibration or
wobbling that could indicate poor installation
or a poorly balanced blade.
8. Make sure the blade is not contacting the
workpiece before the switch is turned on.
9. Wait until the blade attains full speed before
cutting.
10. Keep at least 200 mm (8") away from the tool
at all times.
11. Always switch off and wait for the blades to
come to a complete stop before any adjusting.
12. Never stick your finger into the chip chute.
Chute may jam when cutting damp wood.
Clean out chips with a stick.
