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 switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
-
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally. -
d. 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.
-
e. 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.
-
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
-
g. 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.
-
h. 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.
-
-
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.
-
Safety instructions for all operations
- a. Wear ear protectors when Impact drilling. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
- b. Use the auxiliary handle(s). Loss of control can cause personal injury.
- c. Brace the tool properly before use. This tool produces a high output torque and without properly bracing the tool during operation, loss of control may occur resulting in personal injury.
- d. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory or fasteners may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
- e. Let bit cool before touching, changing or adjusting it. Bits heat up dramatically while in use, and can burn you.
- f. If the drill bit jams, release the Trigger immediately; drill torque can cause injury or break bit.
-
Safety Instructions when using long drill bits
- a. Never operate at higher speed than the maximum speed rating of the drill bit. At higher speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting in personal injury.
- b. Always start drilling at low speed and with the bit tip in contact with the workpiece. At higher speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting in personal injury.
- c. Apply pressure only in direct line with the bit and do not apply excessive pressure. Bits can bend causing breakage or loss of control, resulting in personal injury.
-
Silicosis Safety Measures
Masonry drilling on materials such as concrete (which contains crystalline silica) can cause silicosis (a serious lung disease), cancer and death. To reduce crystalline silica exposures in the workplace and prevent silicosis and silicosis-related deaths:- a. Conduct air monitoring to measure worker exposures.
- b. Use containment methods to control the hazard and protect adjacent workers from exposure.
- c. Practice good personal hygiene to avoid unnecessary exposure to silica dust.
- d. Wear washable or disposable protective clothes at the work site. Shower and change into clean clothes before leaving the work site to prevent contamination of cars, homes and other work areas. Avoid skin exposure.
- e. Always wear a NIOSH approved respirator and safety goggles. Ventilate the work area properly.
- f. Provide periodic medical examinations for all workers who may be exposed to crystalline silica.
- g. Post signs to warn workers about the hazard and to inform them about required protective equipment.
- h. Provide workers with training that includes information about health effects, work practices and protective equipment for crystalline silica.
- i. Report all cases of silicosis to State health departments and to OSHA or the Mine
Safety and Health Administration (MSHA).
-
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.
-
Grounding
WARNING
TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK AND DEATH FROM
INCORRECT GROUNDING WIRE CONNECTION:
Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the
outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the power cord plug provided with
the tool. Never remove the grounding prong from the plug. Do not use the tool
if the power cord or plug is damaged. If damaged, have it repaired by a
service facility before use. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a
proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Grounded Tools
Tools with Three Prong Plugs
- Tools marked with “Grounding Required” have a three-wire cord and three-prong grounding plug. The plug must be connected to a properly grounded outlet. If the tool should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user, reducing the risk of electric shock.(See 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.)
- The grounding prong in the plug is connected through the green wire inside the cord to the grounding system in the tool. The green wire in the cord must be the only wire connected to the tool’s grounding system and must never be attached to an electrically “live” terminal. (See 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.)
- The tool must be plugged into an appropriate outlet, properly installed and grounded per all codes and ordinances. The plug and outlet should look like those in the preceding illustration.(See 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.)
Double Insulated Tools
Tools with Two Prong Plugs
- Tools marked “Double Insulated” do not require grounding. They have a special double insulation system that satisfies OSHA requirements and complies with the applicable standards of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., the Canadian Standard Association, and the National Electrical Code.
- Double insulated tools may be used in either of the 120 volt outlets shown in the preceding illustration.(See Outlets for 2-Prong Plug.)
Extension Cords
- Grounded tools require a three wire extension cord. Double Insulated tools can use either a two or three-wire extension cord.
- As the distance from the supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge extension cord. Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a serious voltage drop, resulting in loss of power and possible tool damage. (See Table A.)
- The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord. For example, a 14 gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16 gauge cord. (See Table A.)
- When using more than one extension cord to make up the total length, make sure each cord contains at least the minimum wire size required. (See Table A.)
- If you are using one extension cord for more than one tool, add the nameplate amperes and use the sum to determine the required minimum cord size. (See Table A.)
- If you are using an extension cord outdoors, make sure it is marked with the suffix “W-A” (“W” in Canada) to indicate it is acceptable for outdoor use.
- Make sure the extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified electrician before using it.
- Protect the extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp areas.
