GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fi re and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of fl ammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2) Electrical safety

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodifi ed plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock. b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded. c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock. 00BookM1808DANA.indb200BookM1808DANA.indb2 2020/12/2510:37:342020/12/2510:37:343 English e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock. f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the infl uence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries. c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off -position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your fi nger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents. d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury. e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations. f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts. g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

4) Power tool use and care

a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed. b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off . Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired. c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally. d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users. e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may aff ect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools. f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations diff erent from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

5) Battery tool use and care

a) Recharge only with the charger specifi ed by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fi re when used with another battery pack. b) Use power tools only with specifi cally designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fi re. c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fi re. 00BookM1808DANA.indb300BookM1808DANA.indb3 2020/12/2510:37:342020/12/2510:37:344 English d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, fl ush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualifi ed repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained. – WARNING – To reduce the risk of injury, user must read instruction manual.

Abnormalities and overloads will trigger the overload protector, and stop operation. Remove the load immediately, and turn the power off , then on. The rotation speed should return to normal. It is recommended that the most appropriate guide be used which is suitable to the type of the work in order to carry out the work exactly without failure. (Refer to "Guiding the trimmer".) The workpieces to be processed should be fi rmly fi xed. (1) Keep the bit separated from the workpieces and hold the body fi rmly before switch is turned on. (Fig. 29) Fig. 29 (2) The bit rotates clockwise (arrow direction indicated on the base ass’y). To obtain maximum cutting eff ectiveness, feed the trimmer in conformance with the feed directions shown in Fig. 30. Work piece Rotation of bit Trimmer feed Outer peripheral cutting (Counterclockwise) Inner peripheral cutting (Clockwise) Fig. 30 CAUTION Do not look directly into the light from the LED lamp. Continuous and direct exposure to the light from the LED lamp can injure your eyes.

2. Adjusting the rotation speed

The M1808DA has an electronic control system that allows rotation speed changes. As shown in Fig. 28, dial position “1” is for minimum speed, and position “6” for maximum speed. Dial Fig. 28

3. Cutting Operation

CAUTION When processing the side of a material, make sure that the side to be processed is on the left of the bit in the direction that the material is fed. Placing the side to be processed on the right of the bit goes counter to the bit’s revolution and may cause the motor to stop. Too much load in such cases may result in malfunction. NOTE

Do not press the lock pin while the motor is rotating. Also, do not switch the tool on while pressing the lock pin. Doing so may damage the lock pin and/or shaft as well as result in injury.

Please limit the cutting depth of a single cut to under 5 mm.

When cutting a deep groove, repeat the cut 2 or 3 times. Deep cutting operations can make the tool diffi cult to control and may overload the motor, resulting in malfunction.

Moving the tool forward fast may cause a poor quality of cut, or damage to the bit or motor. Moving the tool forward too slowly may burn and mar the cut. The proper feed rate will depend on the bit size, the kind of workpiece and depth of cut. Before beginning the cut on the actual workpiece, it is advisable to make a sample cut on a piece of scrap lumber. This will show exactly how the cut will look as well as enable you to check dimensions. 00BookM1808DANA.indb1900BookM1808DANA.indb19 2020/12/2510:37:402020/12/2510:37:4020 English
