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. Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where the cutting
tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Contact with a “live” wire will make exposed metal
parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.
2. Use clamps or another practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the work by hand or against your body
leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
3. ALWAYS wear ear protectors when using the tool
for extended periods.
Prolonged exposure to high intensity
noise can cause hearing loss.
4. NEVER touch moving parts.
NEVER place your hands, fingers or
other body parts near the tool’s moving
parts.
5. NEVER operate without all guards in place.
NEVER operate this tool without all guards or
safety 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.
6. 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
example— don’t use circular saw for cutting tree
limbs or logs.
7. NEVER use a power tool for applications other
than those specified.
NEVER use a power tool for applications other than
those specified in the Instruction Manual.
8. Handle tool correctly.
Operate the tool according to the instructions
provided herein. Do not drop or throw the tool.
NEVER allow the tool to be operated by children,
individuals unfamiliar with its operation or
unauthorized personnel.
9. Keep all screws, bolts and covers tightly in place.
Keep all screws, bolts, and plates tightly mounted.
Check their condition periodically.
10. Do not use power tools if the plastic housing or
handle is cracked.
Cracks in the tool’s housing or handle can lead to
electric shock. Such tools should not be used until
repaired.
11. Blades and accessories must be securely mounted
to the tool.
Prevent potential injuries to yourself or others.
Blades, cutting implements and accessories which
have been mounted to the tool should be secure
and tight.
12. Keep motor air vent clean.
The tool’s motor air vent must be kept clean so
that air can freely flow at all times. Check for dust
build-up frequently.
13. NEVER use a tool which is defective or operating
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.
14. NEVER leave tool running unattended. Turn power
off.
Don’t leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.
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
plastic parts. Do not wipe them with such solvents.
Wipe plastic parts with a soft cloth lightly
dampened with soapy water and dry thoroughly.
17. ALWAYS wear eye protection that meets the
requirement of the latest revision of
ANSI Standard Z87.1.
