Kawasaki 840107 - Manual (Page 4)

SERVICE
Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or
maintenance by unqualified personnel may result in a risk of injury.
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 Instructions may create a risk of shock or injury.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES AND/OR SYMBOLS
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when perform-
ing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring. Contact
with a “live” wire will also make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock
the operator.
SAFETY RULES FOR CORDLESS DRILL / DRIVERS
Always wear safety goggles or eye protection when using this tool. Use a dust
mask or respirator for applications which generate dust.
Do not grasp the tool or place your hands too close to the spinning chuck or
drill bit. Your hand may be lacerated or may cause injury.
Secure the material being worked on. Never hold it in your hand or across
your legs. Unstable support can cause loss of control and injury.
Position yourself to avoid being caught between the tool or side handle and
walls or posts. Should the socket or bit become bound in the work, the reac-
tion torque of the tool could crush your hand or leg.
Check to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the
Cordless Drill before switching the tool “ON”. Keys or wrenches can fly away
at high velocity striking you or a bystander.
When using the Cordless Drill, always maintain a firm grip on the tool with
both hands.
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation
where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring. Contact with a "live" wire
will also make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.
Keep the handle of the Cordless Drill dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
Do not run the Cordless Drill while carrying it at your side. A spinning sock-
et or bit could become entangled with clothing and injury may result.
6 5
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.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper foot-
ing and balance enable better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safe-
ty shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions
TOOL USE AND CARE
Use clamps or other practical ways 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.
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.
Do not use the tool if the power switch does not turn it “ON” or “OFF”. A tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the switch in the locked or “OFF” posi-
tion before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool.
Such preventative safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools
are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like:
paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can
make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery termi-
nals together may cause sparks, burns or a fire.
Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
tools with sharp cutting edge are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
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 before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your
model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may create a risk of injury
when used on another tool.
