Specific Safety Rules And Symbols - Hitachi WM 18DBL 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 filter out microscopic particles.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES AND SYMBOLS

1. Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool.
Loss of control can cause personal injury.
2. Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring.
Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live"
and could give the operator an electric shock.
3. Hold power tools 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.
4. This is a portable tool for drilling, tightening and
loosenig screws. Use it only for these operations.
5. One-hand operation is extremely dangerous; hold
the unit firmly with both hands when operating.
6. After installing the driver bit, pull lightly out the
bit to make sure that it does not come loose. If the
bit is not installed properly, it can come loose
during use, which can be dangerous.
7. Use the bit that matches the screw.
8. Tightening a screw with the tool at an angle to that
screw can damage the head of the screw and the
proper force will not be transmitted to the screw.
Tighten with this tool lined up straight with the
screw.
9. ALWAYS wear ear protectors when using the tool
for extended periods.
Prolonged exposure to high intensity
noise can cause hearing loss.
10. NEVER touch moving parts.

other body parts near the tool's moving
parts.
