Power tool use and care

1. 

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.

2. 

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.

3. 

Disconnect the plug from the power source 

before making any adjustments, changing 

accessories, or storing power tools.

  

Such preventive safety measures reduce the 

risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

4. 

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.

5. 

maintain power tools.  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.

6. 

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.  Properly 

maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges 

are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

7. 

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.

Service

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.

Drill Safety Warnings

1. 

use auxiliary handles supplied with the tool. 

Loss of control can cause personal injury.

2. 

hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces 

when performing an operation where the cutting 

tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. 

Contact with a ″live″ wire will make exposed metal 

parts of the tool ″live″ and shock the operator.

3.  Let bit cool before touching, changing 

or adjusting it.  Bits heat up dramatically 

while in use, and can burn you.

4.  If the drill bit jams, release the trigger immediately; 

drill torque can cause injury or break bit.

5.  Maintain labels and nameplates on the tool.   

These carry important safety information.   

If unreadable or missing, contact 

Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.

6.  Avoid unintentional starting.   

Prepare to begin work before turning on the tool.

7.  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.

8.  When using a handheld power tool, 

maintain a firm grip on the tool with both 

hands to resist starting torque.

9.  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.

10. This product is not a toy.  

Keep it out of reach of children.

11.  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.  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.

12. WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, 

sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction 

activities, contains chemicals known [to the State 

of California] to cause cancer, birth defects or 

other reproductive harm.  Some examples of 

these chemicals are: 

• Lead from lead-based paints 

• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement or 

other masonry products 

• Arsenic and chromium from 

chemically treated lumber
