SAFETY Beware of Exhaust Fumes Prevent asphyxiation. Engine exhaust fumes can cause sickness or death. If you must operate the machine in a building, be sure there is adequate ventilation. Either use an exhaust pipe extension to remove the exhaust fumes or open doors and windows to bring enough outside air into the area. SA-016 Beware of Asbestos and Silicon Dust and Other Contamination Take care not to inhale dust produced in the work site. Inhalation of asbestos fibers may be the cause of lung cancer. Inhalation of silicon dust and other contamination may cause sickness.
Depending on the work site conditions, the risk of inhaling asbestos fiber, silicon dust or other contamination may exist. Spray water to prevent asbestos, silicon dust or other contamination from airborne. Do not use compressed air. When operating the machine in a work site where asbestos, silicon dust or other contamination might be present, be sure to operate the machine from the upwind side and wear a mask rated to prevent the inhalation of asbestos, silicon dust or other contamination. Keep bystanders out of the work site during operation. Asbestos might be present in imitation parts. Use only genuine Hitachi Parts. SA-029 S-28
