Makita HM002GZ03, Instruction Manual

5 ENGLISH

5. 

Be sure the bit is secured in place before 

operation.

6. 

Under normal operation, the tool is designed 

to produce vibration. The screws can come 

loose easily, causing a breakdown or accident. 

Check tightness of screws carefully before 

operation.

7. 

In cold weather or when the tool has not been 

used for a long time, let the tool warm up for 

a while by operating it under no load. This 

will loosen up the lubrication. Without proper 

warm-up, hammering operation is difficult.

8. 

Always be sure you have a firm footing. Be 

sure no one is below when using the tool in 

high locations.

9. 

Hold the tool firmly with both hands.

10. 

Keep hands away from moving parts.

11. 

Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool 

only when hand-held.

12. 

Do not point the tool at any one in the area 

when operating. The bit could fly out and 

injure someone seriously.

13. 

Do not touch the bit, parts close to the bit, or 

workpiece immediately after operation; they 

may be extremely hot and could burn your 

skin.

14. 

Some material contains chemicals which may 

be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhala-

tion and skin contact. Follow material supplier 

safety data.

15. 

Always be sure that the tool is switched 

off and the battery cartridge and the bit are 

removed before handing the tool to other 

person.

16. 

Before operation, make sure that there is no 

buried object such as electric pipe, water pipe 

or gas pipe in the working area.

 Otherwise, the 

drill bit/chisel may touch them, resulting an electric 

shock, electrical leakage or gas leak.

17. 

Do not operate the tool at no-load 

unnecessarily.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

WARNING:

DO NOT let comfort or familiarity 

with product (gained from repeated use) replace 

strict adherence to safety rules for the subject 

product. MISUSE or failure to follow the safety 

rules stated in this instruction manual may cause 

serious personal injury.

Important safety instructions for 

battery cartridge

1. 

Before using battery cartridge, read all instruc-

tions and cautionary markings on (1) battery 

charger, (2) battery, and (3) product using 

battery.

2. 

Do not disassemble or tamper the battery 

cartridge.

 It may result in a fire, excessive heat, 

or explosion.

3. 

If operating time has become excessively 

shorter, stop operating immediately. It may 

result in a risk of overheating, possible burns 

and even an explosion.

4. 

If electrolyte gets into your eyes, rinse them 

out with clear water and seek medical atten-

tion right away. It may result in loss of your 

eyesight.

5. 

Do not short the battery cartridge:

(1) 

Do not touch the terminals with any con-

ductive material.

(2) 

Avoid storing battery cartridge in a con-

tainer with other metal objects such as 

nails, coins, etc.

(3) 

Do not expose battery cartridge to water 

or rain.

A battery short can cause a large current 

flow, overheating, possible burns and even a 

breakdown.

6. 

Do not store and use the tool and battery car-

tridge in locations where the temperature may 

reach or exceed 50 °C (122 °F).

7. 

Do not incinerate the battery cartridge even if 

it is severely damaged or is completely worn 

out. The battery cartridge can explode in a fire.

8. 

Do not nail, cut, crush, throw, drop the battery 

cartridge, or hit against a hard object to the 

battery cartridge.

 Such conduct may result in a 

fire, excessive heat, or explosion.

9. 

Do not use a damaged battery.

10. 

The contained lithium-ion batteries are subject to 

the Dangerous Goods Legislation requirements. 

For commercial transports e.g. by third parties, 

forwarding agents, special requirement on pack-

aging and labeling must be observed. 

For preparation of the item being shipped, consult-

ing an expert for hazardous material is required. 

Please also observe possibly more detailed 

national regulations. 

Tape or mask off open contacts and pack up the 

battery in such a manner that it cannot move 

around in the packaging.

11. 

When disposing the battery cartridge, remove 

it from the tool and dispose of it in a safe 

place. Follow your local regulations relating to 

disposal of battery.

12. 

Use the batteries only with the products 

specified by Makita.

 Installing the batteries to 

non-compliant products may result in a fire, exces

-

sive heat, explosion, or leak of electrolyte.

13. 

If the tool is not used for a long period of time, 

the battery must be removed from the tool.

14. 

During and after use, the battery cartridge may 

take on heat which can cause burns or low 

temperature burns. Pay attention to the han-

dling of hot battery cartridges.

15. 

Do not touch the terminal of the tool imme-

diately after use as it may get hot enough to 

cause burns.

16. 

Do not allow chips, dust, or soil stuck into the 

terminals, holes, and grooves of the battery 

cartridge.

 It may result in poor performance or 

breakdown of the tool or battery cartridge.

17. 

Unless the tool supports the use near 

high-voltage electrical power lines, do not use 

the battery cartridge near a high-voltage elec-

trical power lines.

 It may result in a malfunction 

or breakdown of the tool or battery cartridge.
