Specific Safety Rules And Symbols - Hitachi Koki WH 18DGL Instructions De Sécurité Et Mode D'emploi

WARNING
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to the State of California
to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
⦁ Lead from lead-based paints,
⦁ Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products, and
⦁ Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially designed to
fi lter out microscopic particles.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES AND SYMBOLS

1. Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the
fastener may contact hidden wiring.
Fasteners contacting a "live" wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock.
2. ALWAYS wear ear protectors when using the tool
for extended periods.
Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise
can cause hearing loss.
3. NEVER place hands or other body parts near the
drill bit or chuck during operation. Hold the drill by its
handle only.
4. Because the cordless driver drill operates by battery
power, be aware of the fact that it can begin to operate
at any time.
5. When working at elevated locations, clear the area
of all other people and be aware of conditions below
you.
6. NEVER touch moving parts.
NEVER place your hands, fi ngers or other body parts
near the tool's moving parts.
7. NEVER operate without all guards in place.

features in place and in proper working order. If
maintenance or servicing requires the removal of a
guard or safety feature, be sure to replace the guard
or safety feature before resuming operation of the
tool.
8. Use right tool.
Don't force small tool or attachment to do the job of a
heavy-duty tool.
Don't use tool for purpose not intended —for

mounted to the tool.
Prevent potential injuries to yourself or others. Blades,
cutting implements and accessories which have been

abnormally.
If the tool appears to be operating unusually, making
strange noises, or otherwise appears defective, stop
using it immediately and arrange for repairs by a
Hitachi authorized service center.
15. Carefully handle power tools.
Should a power tool be dropped or struck against
hard materials inadvertently, it may be deformed,
cracked, or damaged.
16. Do not wipe plastic parts with solvent.
Solvents such as gasoline, thinner benzine, carbon
tetrachloride, and alcohol may damage and crack
