(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.
