3. Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable,
from the power tool before making any adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
4. Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
dren 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.
5. Maintain power tools and accessories. Check
for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that
may affect the power tool’s operation. If dam-
aged, have the power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
7. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions, tak-
ing into account the working conditions and
the work to be performed. Use of the power tool
for operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
8. Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,
clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for
safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
9. When using the tool, do not wear cloth work
gloves which may be entangled. The entangle-
ment of cloth work gloves in the moving parts may
result in personal injury.
Battery tool use and care
1. Recharge only with the charger specied by
the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for
one type of battery pack may create a risk of re
when used with another battery pack.
2. Use power tools only with specically desig-
nated battery packs. Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and re.
3. 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 termi-
nals together may cause burns or a re.
4. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If con-
tact accidentally occurs, ush with water. If
liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical
help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.
5. Do not use a battery pack or tool that is dam-
aged or modied. Damaged or modied batteries
may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in
re, explosion or risk of injury.
6. Do not expose a battery pack or tool to re or
excessive temperature. Exposure to re or tem-
perature above 130 °C may cause explosion.
7. Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specied in the instruc-
tions. Charging improperly or at temperatures
outside the specied range may damage the
battery and increase the risk of re.
Service
1. Have your power tool serviced by a qualied
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
2. Never service damaged battery packs. Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
3. Follow instruction for lubricating and chang-
ing accessories.
4. Do not modify or attempt to repair the appli-
ance or the battery pack except as indicated in
the instructions for use and care.
Safety instructions for Cordless
Hole Puncher
1. Proper selection of the punch and the die is
essential. Select the correct punch and die
according to the hole shape, size of hole,
workpiece thickness and material type.
2. Ensure that any punch with stepped edge,
which prevents free rotation, is installed cor-
rectly in the punch piston before tightening the
punch retaining nut.
3. For punching channel-shaped workpiece and
the workpiece made of stainless steel, use the
die provided exclusively for these materials.
Only select the combination of the punch
and die that is suitable for the workpiece
thickness.
4. Ensure the punch and the die are rmly xed
in position with the nut or the bolt. Failure to
do so may cause serious damage to your tool
and serious personal injury. Regularly check and
tighten the punch and die.
5. The tool is electro-hydraulic. When the tem-
perature is cold, it should be run for a few
minutes at idle before starting operations.
6. Keep face, hands and other parts of your body
away from the punching area during operation.
7. Remove the battery cartridge before changing
the punch and the die or when servicing or
making adjustments.
8. The punch and the die that become worn,
deformed, nicked, broken or damaged in any
way may cause a tool breakdown and a seri-
ous accident. Replace them immediately with
new ones supplied from Makita.
9. When punching stainless steel, the punch
and die may wear earlier than punching softer
materials. Ensure that the punch and die are
in good condition, free from wear and are not
deformed, nicked, broken or damaged in any
way. Check with your dealer before punching
any material not listed in the specications.
