Ec Declaration Of Conformity; General Power Tool Safety Warnings - Makita DG001G Betriebsanleitung

NOTE: The declared vibration total value(s) has been
measured in accordance with a standard test method
and may be used for comparing one tool with another.
NOTE: The declared vibration total value(s) may also
be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
WARNING:
The vibration emission during
actual use of the power tool can differ from the
declared value(s) depending on the ways in which
the tool is used especially what kind of workpiece
is processed.
WARNING:
Be sure to identify safety mea-
sures to protect the operator that are based on an
estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of
use (taking account of all parts of the operating
cycle such as the times when the tool is switched
off and when it is running idle in addition to the
trigger time).

EC Declaration of Conformity

For European countries only
The EC declaration of conformity is included as Annex A
to this instruction manual.
SAFETY WARNINGS

General power tool safety warnings

WARNING:
Read all safety warnings, instruc-
tions, illustrations and specifications provided
with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions
listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury.
Save all warnings and instruc-
tions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
Cordless Earth Auger safety warnings
Hold the tool with both hands at the intended
1.
handles. Loss of control can cause personal injury.
2. Brace the tool properly before use. This tool
produces a high output torque and without prop-
erly bracing the tool during operation, loss of
control may occur resulting in personal injury.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping sur-
3.
faces, when performing an operation where the
digging accessory may contact hidden wiring.
Digging accessory contacting a "live" wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live"
and could give the operator an electric shock.
4. Never operate at higher speed than the maxi-
mum speed rating of the earth augering bit. At
higher speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed
to rotate freely without contacting the workpiece,
resulting in personal injury.
5. Always start earth augering at low speed and
with the earth augering tip in contact with the
ground. At higher speeds, the bit is likely to bend
if allowed to rotate freely without contacting the
ground, resulting in personal injury.
Apply pressure only in direct line with the bit and do
6.
not apply excessive pressure. Bits can bend causing
breakage or loss of control, resulting in personal injury.
7. The outside diameter of the auger bit must be
within the drilling capacity specified in this
instruction manual. Incorrectly sized auger bit
cannot be adequately controlled.
Always be sure you have a firm footing. Be
8.
sure no one is below when using the tool in
high locations.
Hold the tool firmly.
9.
10. Keep hands away from rotating parts.
11. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
12. Do not touch the auger bit immediately after
operation; it may be extremely hot and could
burn your skin.
13. Some material contains chemicals which may
be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhala-
tion and skin contact. Follow material supplier
safety data.
14. If the auger bit cannot be loosened even you
remove the auger pin, use pliers to pull it out.
In such a case, pulling out the auger bit by hand
may result in injury by its sharp edge.
15. If something wrong with the tool such as abnor-
mal sounds, stop operating immediately and
ask your local Makita Service Center for repair.
16. Before operation, make sure that there is no
buried object such as electric pipe, water pipe
or gas pipe in the ground. Otherwise, the tool
may touch them, resulting an electric shock, elec-
trical leakage or gas leak.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING:
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity
with product (gained from repeated use) replace
strict adherence to safety rules for the subject
product. MISUSE or failure to follow the safety
rules stated in this instruction manual may cause
serious personal injury.
Important safety instructions for
battery cartridge
1. Before using battery cartridge, read all instruc-
tions and cautionary markings on (1) battery
charger, (2) battery, and (3) product using battery.
2. Do not disassemble or tamper the battery
cartridge. It may result in a fire, excessive heat,
or explosion.
If operating time has become excessively
3.
shorter, stop operating immediately. It may
result in a risk of overheating, possible burns
and even an explosion.
4. If electrolyte gets into your eyes, rinse them
out with clear water and seek medical atten-
tion right away. It may result in loss of your
eyesight.
