3• Be sure to identify safety measures to protect theoperator that are based on an estimation ofexposure in the actual conditions of use (takingaccount of all parts of the operating cycle such asthe times when the tool is switched off and when itis running idle in addition to the trigger time).ENH101-18For European countries onlyEC Declaration of ConformityMakita declares that the following Machine(s):Designation of Machine:Cordless Hammer Driver DrillModel No./ Type: DHP481Conforms to the following European Directives:2006/42/ECThey are manufactured in accordance with the followingstandard or standardized documents:EN60745The technical file in accordance with 2006/42/EC isavailable from:Makita, Jan-Baptist Vinkstraat 2, 3070, Belgium22.8.2013000331Yasushi FukayaDirectorMakita, Jan-Baptist Vinkstraat 2, 3070, BelgiumGEA006-2General Power Tool SafetyWarningsWARNING Read all safety warnings and allinstructions. Failure to follow the warnings andinstructions may result in electric shock, fire and/orserious injury.Save all warnings andinstructions for future reference.The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to yourmains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated(cordless) power tool.Work area safety1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered ordark areas invite accidents.2. Do not operate power tools in explosiveatmospheres, such as in the presence offlammable liquids, gases or dust. Power toolscreate sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.3. Keep children and bystanders away whileoperating a power tool. Distractions can causeyou to lose control.Electrical safety4. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Nevermodify the plug in any way. Do not use anyadapter plugs with earthed (grounded) powertools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets willreduce risk of electric shock.5. Avoid body contact with earthed or groundedsurfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges andrefrigerators. There is an increased risk ofelectric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.6. Do not expose power tools to rain or wetconditions. Water entering a power tool willincrease the risk of electric shock.7. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord forcarrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges ormoving parts. Damaged or entangled cordsincrease the risk of electric shock.8. When operating a power tool outdoors, use anextension cord suitable for outdoor use. Useof a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the riskof electric shock.9. If operating a power tool in a damp location isunavoidable, use a ground fault circuitinterrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of anGFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.Personal safety10. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and usecommon sense when operating a power tool.Do not use a power tool while you are tired orunder the influence of drugs, alcohol ormedication. A moment of inattention whileoperating power tools may result in seriouspersonal injury.11. Use personal protective equipment. Alwayswear eye protection. Protective equipment suchas dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, orhearing protection used for appropriate conditionswill reduce personal injuries.12. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure theswitch is in the off-position before connectingto power source and/or battery pack, pickingup or carrying the tool. Carrying power toolswith your finger on the switch or energising powertools that have the switch on invites accidents.13. Remove any adjusting key or wrench beforeturning the power tool on. A wrench or a keyleft attached to a rotating part of the power toolmay result in personal injury.14. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing andbalance at all times.
