Makita XAD05T XAD05 XAD06 Instruction Manual - Page 10

CAUTION: Pressing excessively on the tool will not speed up the drilling. In fact, this excessive pressure will only serve to damage the tip of your drill bit, decrease the tool performance and shorten the service life of the tool. CAUTION: Hold the tool firmly and exert care when the drill bit begins to break through the workpiece. There is a tremendous force exerted on the tool/drill bit at the time of hole break through. CAUTION: A stuck drill bit can be removed simply by setting the reversing switch to reverse rotation in order to back out. However, the tool may back out abruptly if you do not hold it firmly. CAUTION: Always secure workpieces in a vise or similar hold-down device. CAUTION: Avoid drilling in material that you suspect contains hidden nails or other things that may cause the drill bit to bind or break. CAUTION: If the tool is operated continuously until the battery cartridge has discharged, allow the tool to rest for 15 minutes before proceeding with a fresh battery. 12. Do not attach lanyards to the tool in a way that keeps guards, switches or lock-offs from operating properly. 13. Avoid getting tangled in the lanyard. 14. Keep lanyard away from the cutting area of the tool. 15. Use multi-action and screw gate type carabineers. Do not use single action spring clip carabineers. 16. In the event the tool is dropped, it must be tagged and removed from service, and should be inspected by a Makita Factory or Authorized Service Center. MAINTENANCE CAUTION: Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the battery cartridge is removed before attempting to perform inspection or maintenance. NOTICE: Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result. Lanyard (tether strap) connection Safety warnings specific for use at height Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in serious injury. 1. Always keep the tool tethered when working "at height". Maximum lanyard length is 2 m (6.5 ft). The maximum permissible fall height for lanyard (tether strap) must not exceed 2 m (6.5 ft). 2. Use only with lanyards appropriate for this tool type and rated for at least 5.0 kg (11.0 lbs). 3. Do not anchor the tool lanyard to anything on your body or on movable components. Anchor the tool lanyard to a rigid structure that can withstand the forces of a dropped tool. 4. Make sure the lanyard is properly secured at each end prior to use. 5. Inspect the tool and lanyard before each use for damage and proper function (including fabric and stitching). Do not use if damaged or not functioning properly. 6. Do not wrap lanyards around or allow them to come in contact with sharp or rough edges. 7. Fasten the other end of the lanyard outside the working area so that a falling tool is held securely. 8. Attach the lanyard so that the tool will move away from the operator if it falls. Dropped tools will swing on the lanyard, which could cause injury or loss of balance. 9. Do not use near moving parts or running machinery. Failure to do so may result in a crush or entanglement hazard. 10. Do not carry the tool by the attachment device or the lanyard. 11. Only transfer the tool between your hands while you are properly balanced. 10 To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, any other maintenance or adjustment should be performed by Makita Authorized or Factory Service Centers, always using Makita replacement parts.
