Makita 4331D Instruction Manual - Additional Safety Rules
4
18. 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.
19. 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 ser-
viced before using. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained tools.
20. Use only accessories that are recom-
mended 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.
SERVICE
21. Tool service must be performed only by
qualified repair personnel. Service or main-
tenance performed by unqualified personnel
may result in a risk of injury.
22. 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.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES
USB030-2
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from
repeated use) replace strict adherence to cordless jig saw
safety rules. If you use this tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can
suffer serious personal injury.
1. Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where the
cutting tool may contact hidden wiring.
Contact with a “live” wire will make
exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and
shock the operator.
2. Be aware that this tool is always in an
operating condition, because it does not
have to be plugged into an electrical out-
let.
3. Always use safety glasses or goggles.
Ordinary eye or sun glasses are NOT
safety glasses.
4. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and
remove all nails from the workpiece
before operation.
5. Do not cut hollow pipe.
6. Do not cut oversize workpiece.
7. Check for the proper clearance beneath
the workpiece before cutting so that the
blade will not strike the floor, workbench,
etc.
8. Hold the tool firmly.
9. Check the blade is not contacting the
workpiece before the switch is turned on.
10. Keep hands away from moving parts.
11. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the
tool only when hand-held.
12. Always switch off and wait for the blade to
come to a complete stop before removing
the blade from the workpiece.
13. Do not touch the blade or the workpiece
immediately after operation; they may be
extremely hot and could burn your skin.
