Read, understand and follow all instructions and warnings in tool or charger instruction
manual as well as those provided with recommended accessories.
Keep guards in place and in working order.
Use recommended accessories only.
Check damaged parts. (Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is
damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and
perform its intended function). A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced by an authorized service center.
Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries.
Consider work area environment. Do not use power tools in damp or wet locations.
Keep work area well lit. Do not expose power tools to rain. Do not use tools or chargers in
presence of flammable liquids or gases.
Keep children away. All visitors should be kept away from work area.
Store idle tools. When not in use, tools should be stored high or locked up out of reach of
children.
Use the right tool. Do not force a small tool or attachment to do the job of a heavy duty
tool. Do not use tool or accessories for purpose not intended. Only use proper,
recommended accessories for the tool being used.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can be caught in moving
parts. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
Use safety glasses whenever operating any tool. Makita safety goggles and glasses
are available (part no. 191686-2, 191684-A and 191685-A). Also use face or dust mask if
operation is dusty.
Don’t abuse cord. Never carry tool by cord or yank it to disconnect from receptacle.
Secure work. Use clamps or a vise to hold workpiece. It can be safer and it frees both
hands to operate and control tool.
Maintain tools with care. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance.
Follow instructions for lubrication and changing accessories.
Un-plug tools. When not in use, before servicing, and when changing accessories.
Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form a habit of checking to see that keys and
adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on.

Be sure switch is OFF when plugging in.
Outdoor use extension cords. When tool is used outdoors, use only extension cords
intended for use outdoors and so marked.
Guard against electric shock. Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces. For
example: pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerator enclosures.
