Use eye and ear protection. Always wear ANSI approved impact safety goggles and  
ear protection.  
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Do not reach over or  
across running machines.  
Maintain tools with care. Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer  
performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect tool  
cords periodically and, if damaged, have them repaired by an authorized technician.  
The handles must be kept clean, dry, and free from oil and grease at all times.  
10. Disconnect power. Unplug tool when not in use.  
11. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Check that keys and adjusting wrenches  
are removed from the tool or machine work surface before plugging it in.  
12. Avoid unintentional starting. Be sure the switch is in the Off position when not in  
use and before plugging in. Do not attempt to lift or move this product with your finger  
on the trigger, whether it is plugged in or not.  
13. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, use common sense. Do not operate any tool  
when you are tired.  
14. Check for damaged parts. Before using any tool, any part that appears damaged  
should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its  
intended function. Check for alignment and binding of moving parts; any broken parts  
or mounting fixtures; and any other condition that may affect proper operation. Any  
part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by a qualified technician.  
Do not use the tool if any switch does not turn On and Off properly.  
15. Guard against electric shock. Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces such as  
pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerator enclosures.  
16. Replacement parts and accessories. When servicing, use only identical  
replacement parts. Use of any other parts will void the warranty. Only use accessories  
intended for use with this tool. Approved accessories are available from Harbor Freight  
Tools.  
17. Do not operate tool if under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Read warning  
labels on prescriptions to determine if your judgment or reflexes are impaired while  
taking drugs. If there is any doubt, do not operate the tool.  
18. Use proper size and type extension cord. The extension cord must be of the proper  
size and type to supply the correct current to the tool without heating up. Otherwise,  
the extension cord could melt and catch fire, or cause electrical damage to the tool.  
This tool requires use of an extension cord of 0 to 10 amps capability (up to 50 feet),  
with wire size rated at 16 AWG. Longer extension cords require larger size wire. If you  
are using the tool outdoors, use an extension cord rated for outdoor use. (signified by  
“WA” on the jacket).

physician(s) before using this product; operation of equipment in close proximity to a  
heart pacemaker could cause interference or failure of the pacemaker.

sion cord usage may also affect tool performance.

first release the Switch Handle and wait for the motor to stop turning. Then, unplug the  
extension cord from the Power Cord before proceeding.
