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.
5.
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. Maintain labels and nameplates on the tool.
These carry important safety information.
If unreadable or missing, contact
Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.
6.
Safety instructions for reciprocating saws
a.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, when performing an operation
where the cutting accessory may contact
hidden wiring or its own cord.
Cutting
accessory contacting a “live” wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool “ live”
and could give the operator an electric shock.
b.
Use clamps or another practical way to
secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform.
Holding the workpiece
by hand or against your body leaves it
unstable and may lead to loss of control.
7.
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.
e.
When battery pack is not in use, keep
it away from other metal objects, like
paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws
or other small metal objects, that can
make a connection from one terminal
to another.
Shorting the battery terminals
together may cause burns or a fire.
f.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact.
If contact accidentally occurs, flush with
water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally
seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
g.
Do not use a battery pack or power tool that
is damaged or modified.
Damaged or modified
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior
resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
h.
Do not expose a battery pack or power
tool to fire or excessive temperature.
Exposure to fire or temperature above
265°F may cause explosion.
i.
Follow all charging instructions and do
not charge the battery pack or power tool
outside of the temperature range specified
in the instructions.
Charging improperly or at
temperatures outside of the specified range may
damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
j.
Have servicing performed by a qualified
repair person using only identical
replacement parts.
This will ensure that
the safety of the product is maintained.
k.
Do not modify or attempt to repair the power
tool or the battery pack except as indicated
in the instructions for use and care.
l.
The battery Charger gets hot
during use. The Charger’s heat can
build up to unsafe levels and
create a fire hazard if it does
not receive adequate ventilation, due
to an electrical fault, or if it is used in a
hot environment. Do not place the Charger
on a flammable surface. Do not obstruct
any vents on the Charger.
Especially avoid
placing the Charger on carpets and rugs;
they are not only flammable, but they also
obstruct vents under the Charger.
Place
the Charger on a stable, solid, nonflammable
surface (such as a stable metal workbench
or concrete floor) at least 1 foot away from
all flammable objects, such as drapes or
walls. Keep a fire extinguisher and a smoke
detector in the area. Frequently monitor the
Charger and Battery Pack while charging.
