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. 1) Work area safety 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 flammable 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. 10
English 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. 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. 3) Personal safety 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 influence 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. 11
English 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 affect the power toolʼs 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 different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation. 5) Service a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained. CAUTION Keep children and infirm persons away. When not in use, tools should be stored out of reach of children and infirm persons. CAUTIONS WHEN USING BLOWER 1. Use only the voltage shown on the nameplate to supply power. Using a voltage higher than shown will increase the rotation speed abnormally and can cause injuries. 2. Do not put your hands or face near the blower opening during use. Doing so might lead to injuries. 3. Remove this unit a safe distance away from electrical conductors when cleaning sections carrying electrical power such as the electrical panel. 4. Do not block the blower opening or intake. Blocking the blower opening will cause an increase in the motor rotation speed abnormally and might damage the vanes on the inner section of the unit or cause injuries. The motor might also overheat and cause a fi re. 5. Do not use in locations where inflammable materials such as lacquer, paint, benzene, thinner or gasoline are present. Also do not let items such as lighted cigarette butts be suctioned inside at such locations. Explosion or fi res might result. 12
English 6. Do not use in environments subject to heavy doses of chemicals, etc. Plastic sections such as the vanes on the inner section of the unit might weaken and break, and injuries might occur. 7. If you notice the unit is operating poorly or making abnormal noises, immediately stop using and shut off the power switch. Request an inspection and repair from the dealer where you purchased the unit or a Hitachi Authorized Service Center. Continuing to use while operating abnormally might cause injuries. 8. If the unit is mistakenly dropped or strikes another object, make a thorough check of the unit for cracks, breakage or deformation, etc. Injuries might occur if the unit has cracks, breakage or deformation. 9. Do not use near objects generating high heat such as stoves. Fires might occur if used near such locations. 10. Make a thorough inspection if using the blower to blow or clean viscous powder or dust particles. Powder or dust particles might be suctioned in and adhere internally, causing the vanes to break or injuries to occur. 11. Do not leave on locations such as benches or floors while still rotating. Injuries might occur. SYMBOL WARNING The following show symbols used for the machine. Be sure that you understand their meaning before use.
