IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING: Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions 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 battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
Air Compressor Safety Warnings

• Risk of fire or explosion – do not spray flammable liquid in a confined area or towards a hot surface. The spray area must be well-ventilated. Do not smoke while spraying or spray where a spark or flame is present. Arcing parts – keep the compressor at least 20 feet away from explosive vapors, such as when spraying with a spray gun.

• Risk of bursting – do not adjust the regulator higher than the marked maximum pressure of attachment.

• Risk of injury – do not direct air stream at people or animals.

• Do not use to supply breathing air.

• Do not leave the compressor unattended for an extended period while powered. Disconnect power from compressor after working.

• Keep compressor well-ventilated. Do not cover the compressor during use.

• Do not remove the valve cover or adjust internal components.

• Do not use the air hose to move the compressor.

• The use of accessories or attachments not recommended by the manufacturer may result in a risk of injury to persons.

• All airline components, including hoses, pipe, connectors, filters, etc., must be rated for a minimum working pressure of 150 PSI, or 150% of the maximum system pressure, whichever is greater.

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

• This product is not a toy. Keep it out of reach of children.

• Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles and heavy-duty work gloves during use.

• Do not expose to rain or wet conditions.

• People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before use. Electromagnetic fields in close proximity to the heart pacemaker could cause pacemaker interference or pacemaker failure.

• Do not leave the tool unattended when the Battery Pack is connected. Turn off the tool, and remove the Battery Pack before leaving.
  Battery Safety
  WARNING: Li-Ion batteries, if incorrectly used, stored, or charged are a fire, burn, and explosion hazard.

• keep the battery out of reach of children.

• ONLY charge Li-Ion batteries using the charger provided or designed specifically for your product.

• ONLY use Li-Ion batteries provided with a product or specifically designed to be compatible.

• Allow batteries to cool for 15 minutes after charging or heavy use. Failure to follow these instructions may cause overheating or fire.

• When not in use batteries should be stored at room temperature (approximately 20t).

• Ensure that battery contacts cannot accidentally short in storage. Keep batteries clean; foreign objects or dirt may cause a short. Keep away from other metal objects, for example, paperclips, coins, keys, nails, and screws.

• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery. This liquid may cause skin irritation or bums. Avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts the eyes seek medical help.

• DO NOT open, disassemble, crush, heat above 60°C, or incinerate. Do not dispose of it in fire or similar.

Battery Charger Safety
Use the battery charger correctly

• Refer to the section of this manual relating to the use of the battery charger before attempting to charge the battery.
• Do not attempt to use the charger with any batteries other than those supplied. Keep your battery charger clean; foreign objects or dirt may cause short or block air vents. Failure to follow these instructions may cause overheating or fire.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

WARNING: DO NOT attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries.
Before Use
Removing a battery
Remove the Battery from the tool by pressing the Battery Release, then slide the Battery out of the Battery Slot.
WARNING: DO NOT try to remove the Battery without pressing the Battery Release button. The tool or Battery could be damaged.
Fitting a battery

1. Fit a battery by sliding it onto the Battery Slot of the tool until it clicks and locks into position.

Note: Make sure the Battery and tool are lined up correctly.
If the Battery does not slide into the tool easily, do not force it. Instead, slide the Battery out of the tool again, check the top of the Battery and the tool battery slot are clean and undamaged and that the contacts are not bent.
Setting up the battery charger

1. If fitted, remove any Battery (B)from the Battery Charger(A)
2. Insert the Battery Charger mains plug into a suitable mains socket

Note: The Green LED(2) on the Charger will always be bright to indicate that the charger is ready to charge the battery.

LED Indicate

Number| Charger status| LED status
Red light| Greenlight
1| Power on, ready state| OFF| ON
2| Charging| ON| OFF
3| Finished charging| OFF| ON
4| The battery temperature is too high| OFF| Flash
5| Battery failure| Flash| OFF
Remark: Ba tery operating temperature 0±3 C < T < 50± 3 C

WARNING: Use this charger ONLY to charge the supplied battery or additional purchased batteries that are specifically designed for this tool. WARNING: The charger is designed for indoor use only, and MUST NOT be used in damp or wet conditions.
Charging the battery
WARNING: Failure to follow the correct procedure when charging batteries will result in permanent damage. Note: Normal charging time is approximately 60minutes for a recently discharged 2.0Ah capacity battery. However, if the Battery has been left in a discharged state for some time, it may take additional time to charge. Battery Charge Level: The Battery has a built-in Battery Charge Indicator Pressing on the button to the right will indicate the charge level. The right LED indicates a high charge level and the left a low charge level which will mean the battery pack will require charging soon. IMPORTANT: When a low charge level is indicated, the tool may stop operating while in use, which is dangerous when operating a tool. Always ensure the battery pack has a good charge level.
Note: about battery charging:

• The battery should be charged at ambient temperatures between 10 and 40°C. (ideally around 20°C)
• After charging, allow 15 minutes for the battery to cool before use.
• Ensure that the charger is disconnected from the mains supply after use, and is stored correctly.
• DO NOT leave batteries on charge for extended periods and NEVER store batteries on charge
• The Battery Charger monitors battery temperature and voltage while charging. Remove the Battery once charging is complete to maximize charge cycles of the battery and not waste power.
• Batteries can become faulty over time, individual cells in the battery can fail and the battery could short. The charger will not charge faulty batteries. Use another battery, if possible, to correct the functionality of the charger, and purchase a replacement battery if a faulty battery is indicated.
• DO NOT store lithium-ion battery packs in a discharged state over a long period as this can damage the lithium-ion cells.
• For long-term storage, store batteries in a high charge state disconnected from the power tool.
• The capacity of batteries will reduce over time. After 100 charge cycles, the battery’s operation time and the maximum torque performance of the driver will slightly reduce. This decline will continue until the battery has minimal capacity after 250 charge cycles. This is normal and not a fault with the battery pack.

Extension cords
Note: Extension cords must not be used with this item’s Charger.
