Makita PJ7000 Instruction Manual page 3

20. 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.
21. 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.
22. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
23. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
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.

PLATE JOINER SAFETY WARNINGS
1. Blades must be rated for at least the speed
marked on the tool. Blades running over rated
speed can fly apart and cause injury.
2. Always use the guard. The guard protects the
operator from broken blade fragments and unin-
tentional contact with the blade.
3. Hold power tool by insulated gripping sur-
faces, because the blade may contact its own
cord. Cutting a "live" wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give
the operator an electric shock.
4. Use only the blades specified for this tool.
Never operate the tool with the blade locked in
5.
exposed position or without the blade cover
secured properly in place.
Make sure that the blade slides smoothly

before operation.
7. Check the blades carefully for cracks or dam-
age before operation. Replace cracked or
damaged blades immediately.
8. Make sure that the flange fits in the arbor hole
when installing the blade.
9. Inspect for and remove all nails or foreign
matter from the workpieces before operation.
10. Always place the workpieces on a stable
workbench.

Service
24. 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.
25. Follow instruction for lubricating and chang-
ing accessories.
26. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and
grease.
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.

tion or a poorly balanced blade.

pieces while the blade is rotating.
17. Do not leave the tool running unattended.
18. Always be sure that the tool is switched off
and unplugged before making any adjust-
ments or replacing the blade.
