extension cords intended for outside use. See chart under “Extension Cords” for the proper

16.STAY ALERT. Watch what you are doing, use common sense. Do not operate any tool when

you are tired.

17.CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before using any tool, any part that appears damaged should

tion. 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.

18.GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK. Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces such

as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerator enclosures.

19.REPLACEMENT PARTS AND ACCESSORIES. When servicing, use only identical replace-

ment 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.
