Cordless Driver Drill Safety Warnings - Makita DF001G Instruction Manual

Power tool use and care
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
1.
power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does
2.
not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot
be controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source
3.
and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable,
from the power tool before making any adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
4.
dren 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.
Maintain power tools and accessories. Check
5.
for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that
may affect the power tool's operation. If dam-
aged, have the power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
6.
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
7.
etc. in accordance with these instructions, tak-
ing 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.
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,
8.
clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for
safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
When using the tool, do not wear cloth work
9.
gloves which may be entangled. The entangle-
ment of cloth work gloves in the moving parts may
result in personal injury.
Battery tool use and care
Recharge only with the charger specified by
1.
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.
Use power tools only with specifically desig-
2.
nated battery packs. Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
3.
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.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
4.
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.
Do not use a battery pack or tool that is dam-
5.
aged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries
may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in
fire, explosion or risk of injury.
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or
6.
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or tem-
perature above 130 °C may cause explosion.
Follow all charging instructions and do not
7.
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.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
1.
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
Never service damaged battery packs. Service
2.
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
Follow instruction for lubricating and chang-
3.
ing accessories.

Safety instructions for all operations
Use the auxiliary handle(s). Loss of control can
1.
cause personal injury.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
2.
surfaces, when performing an operation where
the cutting accessory or fasteners may contact
hidden wiring. Cutting accessory or fasteners
contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock.
Always be sure you have a firm footing. Be
3.
sure no one is below when using the tool in
high locations.
Hold the tool firmly.
4.
Keep hands away from rotating parts.
5.
Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
6.
only when hand-held.
Do not touch the drill bit or the workpiece
7.
immediately after operation; they may be
extremely hot and could burn your skin.
Some material contains chemicals which may
8.
be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhala-
tion and skin contact. Follow material supplier
safety data.
If the drill bit cannot be loosened even you
9.
open the jaws, use pliers to pull it out. In such a
case, pulling out the drill bit by hand may result in
injury by its sharp edge.
10. Make sure there are no electrical cables, water
pipes, gas pipes etc. that could cause a hazard
if damaged by use of the tool.
Safety instructions when using long drill bits
Never operate at higher speed than the max-
1.
imum speed rating of the drill bit. At higher
speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate
freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting
in personal injury.
