Power tool use and care
y fet Sa
Setup
1.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.
2.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.
3.Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
4.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.
5.Maintain power tools. 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.
6.Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
7.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.

1.Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Contact with a ″live″ wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool ″live″ and shock the operator.
2.Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
3.Maintain labels and nameplates on the tool. These carry important safety information.
If unreadable or missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.
4.Avoid unintentional starting.
Prepare to begin work before turning on the tool.
5.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.
6.When using a handheld power tool, maintain a firm grip on the tool with both hands to resist starting torque.
7.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.
8.This product is not a toy.
Keep it out of reach of children.
9.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.
•Do not use with power switch locked on.
•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.
10.WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities, contains chemicals known [to the State of California] to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
•Lead from
•Crystalline silica from bricks and cement or
other masonry products
•Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
