Ec Declaration Of Conformity; Safety Warnings - Makita AT638A Betriebsanleitung

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.

tions for future reference.
For personal safety and proper operation and mainte-
nance of the tool, read this instruction manual before
using the tool.
General safety
1. Any other use except for intended use of this tool
is forbidden. Fastener driving tools with continual
contact actuation or contact actuation shall only be
used for production applications.
2. Keep fingers away from trigger when not
operating this tool and when moving from one
operating position to another.
3. Multiple hazards. Read and understand the safety
instructions before connecting, disconnecting,
loading, operating, maintaining, changing acces-
sories on, or working near the tool. Failure to do so
can result in serious bodily injury.
4. Keep all body parts such as hands and legs etc.
away from firing direction and ensure fastener
cannot penetrate workpiece into parts of the body.
5. When using the tool, be aware that the fastener
could deflect and cause injury.
6. Hold the tool with a firm grasp and be prepared
to manage recoil.
7. Only technically skilled operators should use
the fastener driving tool.
8. Do not modify the fastener driving tool.
Modifications may reduce the effectiveness of
safety measures and increase the risks to the
operator and/or bystander.
9. Do not discard the instruction manual.
10. Do not use a tool if the tool has been damaged.
11. Be careful when handling fasteners, especially
when loading and unloading, as the fasteners
have sharp points which could cause injury.
12. Always check the tool before use for broken,
misconnected or worn parts.
13. Do not overreach. Only use in a safe working place.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
14. Keep bystanders away (when working in an area
where there is a likelihood of through traffic of
people). Clearly mark off your operating area.
15. Never point the tool at yourself or others.
16. Do not rest your finger on the trigger when picking
up the tool, moving between operating areas and
positions or walking, as resting finger on trigger
can lead to inadvertent operation. For tools with
selective actuation, always check the tool before
use to ascertain the correct mode is selected.
17. Only wear gloves that provide adequate feel and
safe control of triggers and any adjusting devices.
18. When resting the tool, lay it down on the flat sur-
face. If you use the hook equipped with the tool,
hook the tool securely on the stable surface.
19. Do not operate when under the influence of
alcohol, drugs or the like.
Projectile hazards
1. The fastener driving tool shall be disconnected
when unloading fasteners, making adjust-
ments, clearing jams or changing accessories.
2. During operation be careful that fasteners penetrate
material correctly and cannot be deflected/misfired
towards operator and/or any bystanders.
3. During operation, debris from workpiece and
fastening/collation system may be discharged.
4. Always wear protective goggles to protect
your eyes from injury when using power tools.
The goggles must comply with ANSI Z87.1 in
the USA, EN 166 in Europe, or AS/NZS 1336
in Australia/New Zealand. In Australia/New
Zealand, it is legally required to wear a face
shield to protect your face, too.
It is an employer's responsibility to enforce
the use of appropriate safety protective equip-
ments by the tool operators and by other per-
sons in the immediate working area.
5. The risks to others shall be assessed by the
operator.
