Makita BO4510H, Instruction Manual

4

7.

Use of power supply via an RCD with a rated 
residual current of 30 mA or less is always 
recommended.

8.

Power tools can produce electromagnetic fields 
(EMF) that are not harmful to the user.

 However, 

users of pacemakers and other similar medical 
devices should contact the maker of their device and/
or doctor for advice before operating this power tool.

9.

Do not touch the power plug with wet hands.

10.

If the cord is damaged, have it replaced by the 
manufacturer or his agent in order to avoid a 
safety hazard.

Personal Safety

1.

Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use 
common sense when operating a power tool. Do 
not use a power tool while you are tired or under 
the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.

 A 

moment of inattention while operating power tools 
may result in serious personal injury.

2.

Use personal protective equipment. Always wear 
eye protection.

 Protective equipment such as a dust 

mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing 
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce 
personal injuries.

3.

Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch 
is in the off-position before connecting to power 
source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying 
the tool. 

Carrying power tools with your finger on the 

switch or energising power tools that have the switch 
on invites accidents.

4.

Remove any adjusting key or wrench before 
turning the power tool on.

 A wrench or a key left 

attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result 
in personal injury.

5.

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and 
balance at all times.

 This enables better control of 

the power tool in unexpected situations.

6.

Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or 
jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from 
moving parts.

 Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair 

can be caught in moving parts.

7.

If devices are provided for the connection of dust 
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these 
are connected and properly used.

 Use of dust 

collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

8.

Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of 
tools allow you to become complacent and ignore 
tool safety principles.

 A careless action can cause 

severe injury within a fraction of a second.

9.

Always wear protective goggles to protect your 
eyes from injury when using power tools. The 
goggles must comply with ANSI Z87.1 in the USA, 
EN 166 in Europe, or AS/NZS 1336 in Australia/
New Zealand. In Australia/New Zealand, it is 
legally required to wear a face shield to protect 
your face, too.

It is an employer's responsibility to enforce the 
use of appropriate safety protective equipments 
by the tool operators and by other persons in the 
immediate working area.

Power tool use and care

1.

Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power 
tool for your application.

 The correct power tool will 

do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was 
designed.

2.

Do not use the power tool if the switch does not 
turn it on and off.

 Any power tool that cannot be 

controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be 
repaired.

3.

Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or 
remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the 
power tool before making any adjustments, 
changing accessories, or storing power tools.

Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of 
starting the power tool accidentally.

4.

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.

5.

Maintain power tools and accessories. 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.

6.

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

 Properly 

maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are 
less likely to bind and are easier to control.

7.

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.
