(4) Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on. A wrench or a key that
is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
(5) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and
balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
(6) Use safety equipment. Always wear protective glasses. Dust mask, nonskid safety
shoes, hard hat, or ear plugs must be used for appropriate conditions.
4. Tool Use and Care
(1) 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.
(2) 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.
(3) 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.
(4) Disconnect the plug form the power source before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
(5) Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
(6) 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.
(7) 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 by
a HITACHI authorized service center before using. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained tools.
(8) Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model.
Accessories that may be suitable for one tool, may become hazardous when used
with another tool.
5. Service
(1) Tool service must be performed only by a HITACHI authorized service center. Service
or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
(2) When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in
the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow
Maintenance Instruction may create a risk of electric shock or injury.
