User manual MAKITA HR3540C

[. . . ] Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator. Wear a hard hat (safety helmet), safety glasses and/or face shield. Ordinary eye or sun glasses are NOT safety glasses. [. . . ] 8 hours of use, the motor will automatically be shut off. Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool. If the tool is operated continuously at low speeds for a long time, the motor will get overloaded, resulting in tool malfunction. Always use the side grip to ensure operating safety when drilling in concrete, masonry, etc. The side grip swings around to either side, allowing easy handling of the tool in any position. Loosen the side grip by turning it counterclockwise, swing it to the desired position and then tighten it by turning clockwise. Idle, then remove the bit partially from the hole. By repeating this several times, the hole will be cleaned out and normal drilling may be resumed. cAUTION: · When the bit begins to break through concrete or if the bit strikes reinforcing rods embedded in concrete, the tool may react dangerously. Maintain good balance and safe footing while holding the tool firmly with both hands to prevent dangerous reaction. Clean the bit shank and apply bit grease before installing the bit. Turn the bit and push it in until it engages. Pull the chuck cover down a couple of times. Turn the bit and push it in until it engages. After installing, always make sure that the bit is securely held in place by trying to pull it out. To remove the bit, pull the chuck cover down all the way and pull the bit out. After drilling the hole, use the blow-out bulb to clean the dust out of the hole. Turn the tool on and apply slight pressure on the tool so that the tool will not bounce around, uncontrolled. Pressing very hard on the tool will not increase the efficiency. Never use "rotation with hammering" when the quick change drill chuck is installed on the tool. The quick change drill chuck may be damaged. In fact, this excessive pressure will only serve to damage the tip of your bit, decrease the tool performance and shorten the service life of the tool. [. . . ] It is made of resin and is subject to breakage. Be careful not to damage the connector or lead wires especially when installing the handle. To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, carbon brush inspection and replacement, any other maintenance or adjustment should be performed by Makita Authorized Service Centers, always using Makita replacement parts.
