10.
Keep bystanders a safe distance away from
work area.
Anyone entering the work area
must wear personal protective equipment.
Fragments of workpiece or of a broken
accessory may fly away and cause injury
beyond immediate area of operation.
11.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, 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.
12.
Always hold the tool firmly in your hand(s) during
the start-up.
The reaction torque of the motor, as it
accelerates to full speed, can cause the tool to twist.
13.
Use clamps to support workpiece whenever
practical.
Never hold a small workpiece in one
hand and the tool in the other hand while in
use. Clamping a small workpiece allows you
to use your hand(s) to control the tool. Round
material such as dowel rods, pipes or tubing
have a tendency to roll while being cut, and may
cause the bit to bind or jump toward you.
14.
Position the cord clear of the spinning
accessory.
If you lose control, the cord may
be cut or snagged and your hand or arm may
be pulled into the spinning accessory.
15.
Never lay the power tool down until the
accessory has come to a complete stop.
The spinning accessory may grab the surface
and pull the power tool out of your control.
16.
After changing the bits or making any
adjustments, make sure the collet nut, chuck
or any other adjustment devices are securely
tightened.
Loose adjustment devices can
unexpectedly shift, causing loss of control, loose
rotating components will be violently thrown.
17.
Do not run the power tool while carrying
it at your side.
Accidental contact with the
spinning accessory could snag your clothing,
pulling the accessory into your body.
18.
Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents.
The motor’s fan will draw the dust inside
the housing and excessive accumulation of
powdered metal may cause electrical hazards.
19.
Do not operate the power tool near flammable
materials.
Sparks could ignite these materials.
20.
Do not use accessories that require liquid
coolants.
Using water or other liquid coolants
may result in electrocution or shock.
21. Maintain labels and nameplates on the tool.
These carry important safety information.
If unreadable or missing, contact
Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.
22. Avoid unintentional starting. Prepare to
begin work before turning on the tool.
23. Do not depress the spindle lock when
starting or during operation.
24. 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.
25. Use clamps (not included) or other practical
ways to secure and support the workpiece to
a stable platform. Holding the work by hand
or against your body is unstable and may
lead to loss of control and personal injury.
26. This product is not a toy.
Keep it out of reach of children.
27. 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 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.
28. The warnings, precautions, and instructions
discussed in this instruction manual cannot cover all
possible conditions and situations that may occur.
It must be understood by the operator that
common sense and caution are factors
which cannot be built into this product,
but must be supplied by the operator.
