activities, contain chemicals known (to the State of California) to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are: lead from lead-based paints, 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 exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out

microscopic particles. (California Health & Safety Code 25249.5, et seq.)

Tool Use and Care

16.Use clamps (not included) or other practical ways to secure and support the work piece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.

17.Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is de- signed.

18.Do not use the power tool if the Power Switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the Power Switch is dangerous and must be replaced.

19.Disconnect the Power Cord Plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.

20.Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

21.Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools maintained and clean. Properly maintained tools are less likely to bind and are easier to control. Do not use a damaged tool. Tag damaged tools “Do not use” until repaired.

22.Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condi- tion that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.

Service

23.Tool service must be performed only by quali- fied repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.

24.When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions may cre- ate a risk of electric shock or injury.

Specific Safety Rules

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

2.Always wear ANSI-approved safety impact eye goggles and heavy work gloves when using the tool. Using personal safety devices reduce the risk for injury. Safety impact eye goggles and heavy work gloves are available from Harbor Freight Tools.

3.Always use proper guard with grinding wheel. A guard protects operator from broken wheel fragments.

4.Make sure to read and understand all instruc- tions and safety precautions as outlined in the manufacturer’s manual.

5.When starting a handheld power tool, always maintain a firm grip on the tool with both hands to resist starting torque.

6.Always keep the extension cord away from moving parts on the tool.

7.Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the tool may contact hidden wiring or its own power cord. Contact with a “live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.

8.WARNING! All accessories for this tool must be rated for at least 6500 RPM. Grinding wheels and other accessories running over their rated speed can fly apart and cause in- jury.

9.Never lay the tool down until the motor has come to a complete stop. The tool may create unforeseen risk while the motor cycles down.
