7. Wear steel-toed boots during use.
8. Do not operate this tool if you have back, neck, or wrist injuries, or other conditions that will be aggravated by the severe jerking forces that this tool exerts upon the operator.
9. Maintain labels and nameplates on the tool. These carry important safety information. If unreadable or missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.
10. Avoid unintentional starting. Prepare to begin work before turning on the tool.

11. 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.

13. Do not leave the tool unattended when it is plugged into an electrical outlet. Turn off the tool, and unplug it from its electrical outlet before leaving.
14. This product is not a toy. Keep it out of reach of children.
15. 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. In addition, people with pacemakers should:
· Avoid operating alone. · Properly maintain and inspect to avoid electrical shock. · Properly ground power cord. Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI) should also be implemented ­ it prevents sustained electrical shock.
16. 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.
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:
1. 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 medical or physical symptoms related to vibration (such as tingling, numbness, and white or blue fingers), seek medical advice as soon as possible.
2. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces the blood supply to the hands and fingers, increasing the risk of vibration-related injury.
3. Use tools with the lowest vibration when there is a choice between different processes.
4. Include vibration-free periods each day of work.
5. Let the tool do the work.
6. To reduce vibration, maintain the tool as explained in this manual. If any abnormal vibration occurs, stop use immediately.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

Extension Cords

1. Grounded tools require a three wire extension cord.

Double Insulated tools can use either

a two or three wire extension cord.

7235(9(17(/(&75,&6+2&.$1’

2. As the distance from the supply outlet increases,

you must use a heavier gauge extension cord.

Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire

5. If you are using one extension cord for more than one tool, add the nameplateamperes

1. Tools marked “Double Insulated” do not require grounding. They have a special double insulation system which satisfies OSHA requirements and complies with the applicable standards of Underwriters

and use the sum to determine the required minimum cord size. 6HH7DEOH$
6. 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.

  1. Clean the loading end of the Bit to remove any
    debris, then lubricate the Bit with grease. 2. Pull the Chuck Ring back and hold it. 3. Insert the Bit while twisting it.

Workpiece and Work Area Set Up
1. Designate a work area that is clean and well-lit. The work area must not allow access by children or pets to prevent distraction and injury.
2. Route the power cord along a safe route to reach the work area without creating a tripping hazard or exposing the power cord to possible damage. The power cord must reach the work area with enough extra length to allow free movement while working.
3. Secure loose work pieces using a vise or clamps (not included) to prevent movement while working.
4. There must not be objects, such as utility lines, nearby that will present a hazard while working. If working in the ground or on a concrete slab on the earth, call local utility company to ensure that area is clear of utility lines.
5. Protect power cord from crushing, abrasion, and scraping by broken rock or concrete.
6. Keep power cord away from moving machines.

Tool will not start.
Tool operates slowly. Performance decreases over time.
Excessive noise or rattling. Overheating.

3RVVLEOH&DXVHV
1. Cord not connected. 2. No power at outlet.
3. Tool’s thermal reset breaker tripped (if equipped).
4. Internal damage or wear. (Carbon brushes or Trigger, for example.)
Extension cord too long or wire size too small.
1. Bit dull or damaged. 2. Internal lubrication cold.
3. Carbon brushes worn or damaged.
Internal damage or wear. (Carbon brushes or bearings, for example.) 1. Forcing tool to work too fast. 2. Bit dull or damaged. 3. Blocked motor housing vents.
4. Motor being strained by long or small diameter extension cord.

/LNHO6ROXWLRQV
1. Check that cord is plugged in. 2. Check power at outlet. If outlet is unpowered,
turn off tool and check circuit breaker. If breaker is tripped, make sure circuit is right capacity for tool and circuit has no other loads. 3. Turn off tool and allow to cool. Press reset button on tool. 4. Have technician service tool.
Eliminate use of extension cord. If an extension cord is needed, use shorter/heavier gauge cord. See ([WHQVLRQ&RUGV in GROUNDING section. 1. Keep cutting bits sharp. Replace as needed. 2. Allow tool to operate with no load
for 5 minutes before use. 3. Have qualified technician replace brushes.
Have technician service tool.
1. Allow tool to work at its own rate. 2. Keep cutting bits sharp. Replace as needed. 3. Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles and
NIOSH-approved dust mask/respirator while blowing dust out of motor using compressed air. 4. Eliminate use of extension cord. If an extension cord is needed, use one with the proper diameter for its length and load. See ([WHQVLRQ&RUGV in GROUNDING section.
