General Power Tool Safety Warnings

Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire 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. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2. Electrical safety
   a. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase 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. 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.
   d. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
   e. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
   f. 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.
   g. Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
   h. Only use safety equipment that has been approved by an appropriate standards agency. Unapproved safety equipment may not provide adequate protection. Eye protection must be ANSI-approved and breathing protection must be NIOSH-approved for the specific hazards in the work area.
   i. Do not lay the tool down until it has come to a complete stop. Moving parts can grab the surface and pull the tool out of your control.
   j. When using a handheld power tool, maintain a firm grip on the tool with both hands to resist starting torque.
   k. This product is not a toy. Keep it out of reach of children.
   l. People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before use.
   Electromagnetic fields in close proximity to heart pacemaker could cause pacemaker interference or pacemaker failure.
   m. The warnings, precautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction manual cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood by the operator that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator.

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 trigger does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
   c. 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.
   d. Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
   e. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
   f. 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.
   g. Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.

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.
   b. Maintain labels and nameplates on the tool.
   These carry important safety information.
   If unreadable or missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.

6. Battery tool use and care.
   a. Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
   b. Contains Li-Ion battery. Battery must be recycled or disposed of properly.

7. Vibration Safety
   This tool vibrates during use.
   Repeated or long-term exposure to vibration may cause temporary or permanent physical injury, particularly to the hands, arms and shoulders.
   To reduce the risk of vibration-related injury:
   a. Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for an extended period should first be examined by a doctor and then have regular medical check-ups to ensure medical problems are not being caused or worsened from use. Pregnant women or people who have impaired blood circulation to the hand, past hand injuries, nervous system disorders, diabetes, or Raynaud’s Disease should not use this tool.
   If you feel any symptoms related to vibration (such as tingling, numbness, and white or blue fingers), seek medical advice as soon as possible.
   b. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces the blood supply to the hands and fingers, increasing the risk of vibration-related injury.
   c. Wear suitable gloves to reduce the vibration effects on the user.
   d. Use tools with the lowest vibration when there is a choice.
   e. Include vibration-free periods each day of work.
   f. Grip tool as lightly as possible (while still keeping safe control of it). Let the tool do the work.
   g. To reduce vibration, maintain the tool as explained in this manual. If any abnormal vibration occurs, stop use immediately

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
