WARNING:
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction activities
contains chemicals known [to the State of California]
to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
●
Lead from lead-based paints,
●
Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
●
Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending
on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well
ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES AND SYMBOLS
1. 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.
2. ALWAYS wear ear protectors when using the tool
for extended periods.
Prolonged exposure to high intensity
noise can cause hearing loss.
3.
NEVER place hands or other body parts near the
drill bit or chuck during operation. Hold the drill by
its handle only.
4.
Because the cordless driver drill operates by battery
power, be aware of the fact that it can begin to
operate at any time.
5.
When working at elevated locations, clear the area
of all other people and be aware of conditions
below you.
6. NEVER touch moving parts.
NEVER place your hands, fingers or other body
parts near the tool’s moving parts.
7. NEVER operate without all guards in place.

safety features in place and in proper working
order. If maintenance or servicing requires the
removal of a guard or safety feature, be sure to
replace the guard or safety feature before resuming
operation of the tool.
8. Use right tool.
Don’t force small tool or attachment to do the job
of a heavy-duty tool.
Don’t use tool for purpose not intended —for

to the tool.
Prevent potential injuries to yourself or others.
Blades, cutting implements and accessories which
have been mounted to the tool should be secure

14. NEVER use a tool which is defective or operating
abnormally.
If the tool appears to be operating unusually,
making strange noises, or otherwise appears
defective, stop using it immediately and arrange
for repairs by a Hitachi authorized service center.
15. Carefully handle power tools.
Should a power tool be dropped or struck against
hard materials inadvertently, it may be deformed,
cracked, or damaged.
16. Do not wipe plastic parts with solvent.
Solvents such as gasoline, thinner benzine, carbon
tetrachloride, and alcohol may damage and crack
plastic parts. Do not wipe them with such solvents.
