Additional Safety Warnings - Hitachi RB 36DL Mode D'emploi

English
11. The operator or user is responsible for accidents or
hazards occurring to other people or their property.
12. Do not put your hands or face near the cordless blower
opening during use.
Doing so might lead to injuries.
13. Remove this unit a safe distance away from electrical
conductors when cleaning sections carrying electrical
power such as the electrical panel.
14. Do not block the cordless blower blast port or air intake.
Blocking the cordless blower blast port or air intake will
cause an abnormal increase in the motor's RPM and
might damage the vanes on the inner section of the unit
or cause injuries. The motor might also overheat and
cause a fi re.
15. Do not use when your fi eld of vision is limited, such as at
night or in bad weather. Similarly, do not use during rain
or on wet ground, such as after a rain.
The footing at such times is poor and may cause you to
lose your balance and have an accident.
16. Do not use in locations where infl ammable materials
such as lacquer, paint, benzene, thinner or gasoline are
present. Also do not let items such as lighted cigarette
butts be suctioned inside at such locations.
Explosion or fi res might result.
17. Do not use in environments subject to heavy doses of
chemicals, etc.
Plastic sections such as the fan on the inner section
of the unit might weaken and break, and injuries might
occur.
18. If you notice the unit is operating poorly or making
abnormal noises, immediately stop using and shut off
the power switch. Request an inspection and repair from
the dealer where you purchased the unit or a Hitachi
Authorized Service Center.
Continuing to use while operating abnormally might
cause injuries.
19. If the unit is mistakenly dropped or strikes another object,
make a thorough check of the unit for cracks, breakage
or deformation, etc.
Injuries might occur if the unit has cracks, breakage or
deformation.
20. Do not use near objects generating high heat such as
stoves.
Fires might occur if used near such locations.
21. Make a thorough inspection if using the cordless blower
to blow or clean viscous powder or dust particles.
Powder or dust particles might be suctioned in and
adhere internally, causing the fan to break or injuries to
occur.
22. Do not leave on locations such as benches or fl oors
while still rotating.
Injuries might occur.
23. While operating the machine, always wear substantial
footwear and long trousers.
24. Dust produced while using the machine may be harmful
to your health. When a lot of dust is produced during use,
wear a dust mask.
25. Do not take your eyes off of the tip of the extension
nozzle or the blast port as you move forward slowly.
Never work in a backward direction. Doing so may result
in falling down.
26. Never allow anyone to approach the operator of the
machine closer than 5 meters, so they are not hit by
fl ying objects. Similarly, always maintain this distance
from other objects, such as cars or windows, so they are
not damaged by fl ying objects.
27. Never point toward people or animals. The machine
blows small objects at a high velocity and can cause
injury.
28. Never operate from an unstable footing, such as when
on a ladder or step ladder.
Doing so may cause an injury.
29. Precautions during transport
• Release the switch on the body of the machine and
remove the battery.
• Carry the machine by the handle on its body.
• When transporting it via vehicle, take appropriate steps
to prevent it from falling over or being damaged.
30. Be careful of your footing while working when it is
slippery, such as in wet areas, in the snow or ice, and on
slopes or irregular surfaces.
31. Take note that when working in dry conditions with lots
of fi ne particles, it may build up static electricity and
discharge unexpectedly.
32. Walk, never run.
33. Operate the machine only at reasonable hours - not
early in the morning or late at night when people might
be disturbed.
34. Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris before blowing.
35. Slightly dampen surfaces in dusty conditions or use
mister attachment.
36. Use the extension nozzle so the air stream can work
close to the ground.
37. Store the machine only in a dry place.
