Lanyard (tether strap) connection

Safety warnings specic for use at height

Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure

Always keep the tool tethered when working "at

height". Maximum lanyard length is 2 m (6.5 ft).

2. Use only with lanyards appropriate for this tool

type and rated for at least 4.0 kg (8.8 lbs).

3. Do not anchor the tool lanyard to anything on

your body or on movable components. Anchor

the tool lanyard to a rigid structure that can

withstand the forces of a dropped tool.

4. Make sure the lanyard is properly secured at

each end prior to use.

5. Inspect the tool and lanyard before each use

for damage and proper function (including

fabric and stitching). Do not use if damaged or

not functioning properly.

6. Do not wrap lanyards around or allow them to

come in contact with sharp or rough edges.

7. Fasten the other end of the lanyard outside

the working area so that a falling tool is held

securely.

8. Attach the lanyard so that the tool will move

away from the operator if it falls. Dropped tools

willswingonthelanyard,whichcouldcauseinjury

or loss of balance.

10. Do not carry the tool by the attachment device

or the lanyard.

11. Only transfer the tool between your hands

while you are properly balanced.

12. Do not attach lanyards to the tool in a way that

keeps guards, switches or lock-offs from oper-

ating properly.

13. Avoid getting tangled in the lanyard.

14.

Keep lanyard away from the cutting area of the tool.

15. Use multi-action and screw gate type cara-

bineers. Do not use single action spring clip

carabineers.

16. In the event the tool is dropped, it must be

tagged and removed from service, and should

be inspected by a Makita Factory or Authorized

Service Center.
