4.
Power tool use and care
a.
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.
b.
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.
c.
Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or remove the battery pack,
if detachable, from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d.
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.
e.
Maintain power tools and accessories.
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.
f.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g.
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.
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.
Never service damaged battery packs.
Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
c. Maintain labels and nameplates on the tool.
These carry important safety information.
If unreadable or missing, contact
Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.
6.
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.
