Functional Description; Nylon Nut - Makita RP1800 Instruction Manual

21. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool
or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
22. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the
power tool's operation. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
23. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
24. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.
in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Service
25. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
26. Follow instruction for lubricating and chang-
ing accessories.
27. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and
grease.
ROUTER SAFETY WARNINGS
1. Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
because the cutter may contact its own cord.
Cutting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts
of the power tool "live" and shock the operator.
2. Use clamps or another practical way to secure
and support the workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the work by your hand or against the body
leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
3. Wear hearing protection during extended
period of operation.
4. Handle the bits very carefully.
Check the bit carefully for cracks or damage before
5.
operation. Replace cracked or damaged bit immediately.
6. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all
nails from the workpiece before operation.
7. Hold the tool firmly with both hands.
8. Keep hands away from rotating parts.
9. Make sure the bit is not contacting the work-
piece before the switch is turned on.
10. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece, let
it run for a while. Watch for vibration or wobbling
that could indicate improperly installed bit.
11. Be careful of the bit rotating direction and the
feed direction.
12. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
13. Always switch off and wait for the bit to come
to a complete stop before removing the tool
from workpiece.
14. Do not touch the bit immediately after opera-
tion; it may be extremely hot and could burn
your skin.
15. Do not smear the tool base carelessly with
thinner, gasoline, oil or the like. They may
cause cracks in the tool base.
16. Draw attention to the need to use cutters of the
correct shank diameter and which are suitable
for the speed of the tool.
17. Some material contains chemicals which may be
toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhalation and
skin contact. Follow material supplier safety data.
18. Always use the correct dust mask/respirator for
the material and application you are working with.
