PRIOR TO OPERATION
1. Power source
Ensure that the power source to be utilized conforms
to the power requirements specified on the product
nameplate.
2. Power switch
Ensure that the power switch is in the OFF positon. If
the plug is connected to a receptacle while the power
switch is in the ON position, the power tool will start
operating immediately, which could cause a serious
accident.
3. Extension cord
When the work area is removed from the power
source, use an extension cord of sufficient thickness
and rated capacity. The extension cord should be
kept as short as practicable.
4. Mounting the nozzle and dust bag
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 fire.
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 fires might result.
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.
