19. Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such pre-
ventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the power tool accidentally.
20. Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
dren 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.
21. Maintain power tools. 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.
22. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

SHEAR WRENCH SAFETY RULES
Hold power tool by insulated gripping sur-
1.
faces, when performing an operation where
the fastener may contact hidden wiring or its
own cord. Fasteners contacting a "live" wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live"
and could give the operator an electric shock.
2.
Before using power tool, make sure that the outer
sleeve smoothly turns by hand. When it does
not smoothly turn, never use it and ask MAKITA
Authorized Service Center for check and repair.
3.
When sheared bolt tip falls without moving tip
ejector (tip lever), never use it and ask MAKITA
Authorized Service Center for check and repair.
4.
Always be sure you maintain good balance
and firm footing.
Be sure no one is below when using the tool in
high or elevated locations.
5.
Hold the tool firmly.
6.
Use care and common sense when disposing
of sheared bolt tips. Falling tips from high
locations or scattered tips can cause severe
injury.

23. 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.
Service
24. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
25. Follow instruction for lubricating and chang-
ing accessories.
26. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and
grease.
USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to
carry the current your product will draw. An undersized
cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. Table 1 shows the correct size
to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere
rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The
smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.
