14. Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents. The
motor’s fan will draw the dust inside the housing and
excessive accumulation of powdered metal may cause
electrical hazards.
15. Do not operate the power tool near flammable
materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
16. Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants.
Using water or other liquid coolants may result in
electrocution or shock.
17. Maintain labels and nameplates on the tool. These carry
important safety information. If unreadable or missing,
contact Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.
18. Avoid unintentional starting. Prepare to begin work
before turning on the tool.
19. Do not depress the spindle lock when starting or during
operation.
20. 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.
21. Use clamps (not included) or other practical ways to
secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the work by hand or against your body is
unstable and may lead to loss of control and personal
injury.
22. This product is not a toy. Keep it out of reach of children.
23. People with pacemakers should consult their physician
(s) before use. Electromagnetic fields in close proximity
to heart pacemaker could cause pacemaker interfer-
ence 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.
24. 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.

7. Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each
use inspect the accessory such as abrasive
wheels for chips and cracks, backing pad for
cracks, tear or excess wear, wire brush for
loose or cracked wires. If power tool or
accessory is dropped, inspect for damage or
install an undamaged accessory. After inspect-
ing and installing an accessory, position
yourself and bystanders away from the plane of
the rotating accessory and run the power tool at
maximum no-load speed for one minute.
Damaged accessories will normally break apart
during this test time.
8. Wear personal protective equipment. Depend-
ing on application, use face shield, safety
goggles or safety glasses. As appropriate, wear
dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves and
workshop apron capable of stopping small
abrasive or workpiece fragments. The eye
protection must be capable of stopping flying
debris generated by various operations. The eye
protection must be capable of stopping flying
debris generated by various operations. The
dust mask or respirator must be capable of filtering
out particles generated by your operation.
Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may
cause hearing loss.
9. Keep bystanders a safe distance away from
work area. Anyone entering the work area must
wear personal protective equipment. Fragments
of workpiece or of a broken accessory may fly
away and cause injury beyond immediate area of
operation.
10. Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
only, when performing an operation where the
accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own
cord. An accessory contacting a “live” wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live”
and shock the operator.
11. Position the cord clear of the spinning accesso-
ry. If you lose control, the cord may be cut or
snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into
the spinning accessory.
12. Never lay the power tool down until the
accessory has come to a complete stop. The
spinning accessory may grab the surface and pull
the power tool out of your control.
13. Do not run the power tool while carrying it at
your side. Accidental contact with the spinning
accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the
accessory into your body.
