Additional Safety Rules - Makita 2012NB Instruction Manual

7. Use right tool
Don't force small tools or attachments to do the job
of a heavy duty tool. Don't use tools for purposes not
intended; for example, don't use circular saw for cut-
ting tree limbs or logs.
8. Dress properly

caught in moving parts. Rubber gloves and non-skid
footwear are recommended when working outdoors.
Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.

Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is
dusty.

If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used.
11. Don't abuse cord
Never carry tool by cord or yank it to disconnect it
from receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil and sharp
edges.
12. Secure work
Use clamps or a vise to hold work. It's safer than
using your hand and it frees both hands to operate
tool.

Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
14. Maintain tools with care
Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer per-
formance. Follow instructions for lubricating and
changing accessories. Inspect tool cords periodi-
cally and, if damaged, have repaired by authorized
service facility. Inspect extension cords periodically
and replace if damaged. Keep handles dry, clean
and free from oil and grease.

When not in use, before servicing, and when chang-
ing accessories such as blades, bits and cutters.
16. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches
Form the habit of checking to see that keys and
adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before
turning it on.
17. Avoid unintentional starting
Don't carry plugged-in tool with finger on switch. Be
sure switch is off when plugging in.
18. Outdoor use extension cords
When tool is used outdoors, use only extension
cords intended for use outdoors and so marked.
19. Stay alert
Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do
not operate tool when you are tired.
20. Check damaged parts
Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part
that is damaged should be carefully checked to
determine that it will operate properly and perform
its intended function. Check for alignment of moving
parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting, and any other conditions that may affect
its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged
should be properly repaired or replaced by an autho-
rized service center unless otherwise indicated else-
where in this instruction manual. Have defective
switches replaced by an authorized service center.
Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on and off.
