i.  Only use safety equipment that has been 
approved by an appropriate standards agency.  
Unapproved safety equipment may not provide 
adequate protection.  Eye protection must be 
ANSI‑approved and breathing protection 
must be NIOSH‑approved for the 
specific hazards in the work area.
j.  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.
k.  When using a handheld power tool, 
maintain a firm grip on the tool with both 
hands to resist starting torque.
l.  Do not leave the tool unattended when the 
Battery Pack is connected.  Turn off the tool, 
and remove the Battery Pack before leaving.
m. This product is not a toy.  
Keep it out of reach of children.
n.  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.
o.  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.
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.  Never service damaged BATTERY 
packs. Service of BATTERY packs should 
only be performed by the manufacturer 
or authorized service providers.
c.  Maintain labels and nameplates on the tool.   
These carry important safety information.   
If unreadable or missing, contact 
Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.
Battery Tool Use and Care
a.  Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the 
switch is in the off-position before connecting 
to battery pack, picking up or carrying the 
power tool. Carrying the power tool with your 
finger on the switch or energizing power tool 
that have the switch on invites accidents.
b.  Disconnect the battery pack from the 
power tool before making any adjustments, 
changing accessories, or storing power tool. 
Such preventive safety measures reduce the 
risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
c.  Recharge only with the charger specified by 
the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable 
for one type of battery pack may create a risk 
of fire when used with another battery pack.
d.  Use power tools only with specifically 
designated battery packs. Use of any other 
battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
