SAFETY

GENERAL SAFETY RULES

WARNING: Read and understand all instructions.

Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

1. Work Area

(1) Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite

accidents.

(2) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of

flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the

dust of fumes.

(3) Keep bystanders children, and visitors away while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2. Electrical Safety (1) Double Insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than

the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Double

Insulation grounded power supply system.

(2) Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and

refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.

(3) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool

will increase the risk of electric shock.

(4) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from

a receptacle. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.

(5) When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked “W-

A” or “W”. These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric

shock.

3. Personal Safety (1) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a

power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in

serious personal injury.

(2) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep

your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or

long hair can be caught in moving parts.

eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power cord and

(3) Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before plugging in. Carrying tools

with your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

(4) Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on. A wrench or a key

that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.

(5) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and

balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.

shoes, hard hat, or ear plugs must be used for appropriate conditions.

4. Tool Use and Care (1) Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable

platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead

to loss of control.

(2) Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do

the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.

(3) Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled

with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

(4) Disconnect the plug form the power source before making any adjustments,

changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce

the risk of starting the tool accidentally.

(5) Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are

dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

(6) Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained

tools, with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

(7) Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any

other condition that may affect the tool's operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced by a HITACHI authorized service center before using. Many accidents are

caused by poorly maintained tools.

(8) Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model.

Accessories that may be suitable for one tool, may become hazardous when used with another tool.

5. Service (1) Tool service must be performed only by a HITACHI authorized service center. Service

or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.

(2) When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in

the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to

follow Maintenance Instruction may create a risk of electric shock or injury.

DOUBLE INSULATION FOR SAFER OPERATION

To ensure safer operation of this power tool, HITACHI has adopted a double insulation design. “Double insulation” means that two physically separated insulation systems have been used to insulate the electrically conductive materials connected to the power supply from the outer frame handled by the operator. Therefore, either the symbol “ words “Double insulation” appear on the power tool or on the nameplate. Although this system has no external grounding, you must still follow the normal electrical safety precautions given in this Instruction Manual, including not using the power tool in wet environments. To keep the double insulation system effective, follow these precautions: 䡬 Only HITACHI AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER should disassemble or assemble this

power tool, and only genuine HITACHI replacement parts should be installed.

䡬 Clean the exterior of the power tool only with a soft cloth moistened with soapy water,

and dry thoroughly. Never use solvents, gasoline or thinners on plastic components; otherwise the plastic may dissolve.
