Makita XSH08Z XSH08 Instruction Manual - Page 14

When bevel cutting with the guide rail, use the slide lever to prevent the tool from falling over. Move the slide lever on the tool base in the direction of arrow so that it engages the undercut groove in the guide rail. 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. 1 1 ► 1 . Slide lever 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). 2. Use only with lanyards appropriate for this tool type and rated for at least 6.0 kg (13.3 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. 12. Do not attach lanyards to the tool in a way that keeps guards, switches or lock-offs from operating properly. 14 ► 1 . Hole for lanyard (tether strap) MAINTENANCE CAUTION: Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the battery cartridge is removed before attempting to perform inspection or maintenance. CAUTION: Clean out the upper and lower guards to ensure there is no accumulated sawdust which may impede the operation of the lower guarding system. A dirty guarding system may limit the proper operation which could result in serious personal injury. The most effective way to accomplish this cleaning is with compressed air. If the dust is being blown out of the guards, be sure the proper eye and breathing protection is used. CAUTION: After each use, wipe off the saw dust on the tool. Fine saw dust may come inside the tool and cause malfunction or a fire. NOTICE: Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result. 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.
