Additional Safety Rules - Makita JS1600 Betriebsanleitung

15. If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of
these devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
Power tool use and care
16. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct power
tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for
which it was designed.
17. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not
turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
18. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/
or the battery pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing power tools. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
19. Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
dren and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the power tool or these instructions to operate
the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
20. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the power
tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool
repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
21. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
22. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions and in
the manner intended for the particular type of
power tool, taking into account the working con-
ditions and the work to be performed. Use of the
power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Service
23. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
24. Follow instruction for lubricating and changing
accessories.
25. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and
grease.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES

1. Hold the tool firmly.
2. Secure the workpiece firmly.
3. Keep hands away from moving parts.
4. Edges and chips of the workpiece are sharp.
Wear gloves. It is also recommended that you
put on thickly bottomed shoes to prevent injury.
5. Do not put the tool on the chips of the work-
piece. Otherwise it can cause damage and trou-
ble on the tool.
6. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.

7. Always be sure you have a firm footing. Be sure
no one is below when using the tool in high loca-
tions.
8. Do not touch the blade or the workpiece immedi-
ately after operation; they may be extremely hot
and could burn your skin.
9. Avoid cutting electrical wires. It can cause seri-
ous accident by electric shock.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Blade inspection
Before using the tool, check the blades for wear. Dull,
worn blades will result in poor shearing action, and the
service life of the tool will be shortened.
Rotating or replacing blades
Important:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before rotating or replacing the blades.
Both the upper and lower blades have four cutting edges
on each side (the front and back). When the cutting edge
becomes dull, rotate both the upper and the lower blades
90° to expose new cutting edges. When all eight edges
are dull on both the upper and lower blades, replace both
blades with new ones. Each time blades are rotated or
replaced, proceed as follows.
Remove the blade securing bolts with the hex wrench
provided and then rotate or replace the blades.
(Fig.1)
Some tools have one or more thin washers between the
upper blade and the blade holder. Be sure to use the
same number of thin washers when reassembling. (Note:
No thin washers are used for the lower blade.) (Fig. 2)
To secure the upper blade, tighten the upper blade secur-
ing bolt with the hex wrench. Press up on the upper blade
while tightening it. (Fig. 3)
After securing the upper blade, be sure that there is no
gap left between the upper blade and the bevelled sur-
face of the blade holder. (Fig. 4)
When installing the lower blade onto the yoke, the lower
blade should be pressed against the yoke so as to be
contacting the bevelled portions A and B of the yoke and
the tip C of the lower blade positioning screw while you
tighten the lower blade securing bolt. There must be no
clearance between A, B and C during installation. (Fig. 5
& 6)
Note:
The lower blade positioning screw is factory-assembled.
