Specific Safety Rules - Makita 4100NH 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 cutter safety rules. If you use this tool unsafely or
incorrectly, you can suffer serious personal injury.
1. DANGER! Keep hands away from cutting area
and wheel. Keep your second hand on
auxiliary handle or motor housing. If both
hands are holding the tool, they cannot be cut by
the wheel.
2. Keep your body positioned to either side of
the wheel, but not in line with the wheel.
KICKBACK could cause the tool to jump
backwards. (See
or storing the tool.

"Causes and
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.

Prevention of Kickback")
3. Do not reach underneath the work. Do not
attempt to remove cut material when wheel is
moving.
CAUTION: Wheels coast after turn off.
4. Always observe that the wheel has stopped
spinning before placing tool down on bench
or floor. A coasting wheel will cause the tool to
walk backwards, cutting whatever is in its path. Be
aware of the time it takes for the wheel to stop after
switch is released.
5. NEVER hold piece being cut in your hands or
across your leg. It is important to support the
work properly to minimize body exposure, wheel
binding, or loss of control.
