Makita RF1100 Manuel D'instruction page 3

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.
23. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions, tak-
ing 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.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:
This tool should be grounded while in use to pro-
tect the operator from electric shock. The tool is
equipped with a three-conductor cord and three-
prong grounding type plug to fit the proper ground-
ing type receptacle. The green (or green and yellow)
conductor in the cord is the grounding wire. Never
connect the green (or green and yellow) wire to a
live terminal. Your unit is for use on 120 volts and
has a plug that looks like Fig. "A".

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. Use only
three-wire extension cords that have three-prong
grounding-type plugs and three-pole receptacles
that accept the tool's plug. Make sure your exten-
sion cord is in good condition. Replace or repair
damaged or worn cord immediately. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to
carry the current your product will draw. An under-
sized 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.

ROUTER SAFETY WARNINGS
Hold power tool by insulated gripping sur-
1.
faces, because the cutter may contact its own
cord. Cutting a "live" wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool "live" and shock the
operator.
2. Use clamps or another practical way to secure
and support the workpiece to a stable plat-
form. Holding the work by your hand or against
the body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of
control.
3. Wear hearing protection during extended
period of operation.
4. Handle the bits very carefully.
Check the bit carefully for cracks or damage
5.
before operation. Replace cracked or damaged
bit immediately.
Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all
6.
nails from the workpiece before operation.
7. Hold the tool firmly with both hands.
8. Keep hands away from rotating parts.
Make sure the bit is not contacting the work-
9.
piece before the switch is turned on.
