must 

be 

used 

for 

appropriate conditions. 

 
 

Tool Use and Care 

1. 

Use  clamps  (not  included)  or  other 
practical  ways  to  secure  and 
support  the  workpiece  to  a  stable 
platform.

  Holding  the  work  piece  by 

hand or against your body is unstable 
and may lead to loss of control. 

2. 

Do  not  force  the  tool.  Use  the 
correct  tool  for  your  application. 

The  correct  tool  will  do  the  job  better 
and  safer  at  the  rate  for  which  it  is 
designed. 

3. 

Do  not  use  the  power  tool  if  the 
Power Switch does not turn it on or 
off.

 Any tool that cannot be controlled 

with  the  Power  Switch  is  dangerous 
and must be replaced. 

4. 

Disconnect  the  Power  Cord  Plug 
from  the  power  source  before 
making  any  adjustments,  changing 
accessories,  or  storing  the  tool.

 

Such  preventive  safety  measures 
reduce  the  risk  of  starting  the  tool 
accidentally. 

5. 

Store  idle  tools  out  of  reach  of 
children 

and 

other 

untrained 

persons.

  Tools  are  dangerous  in  the 

hands of untrained users. 

6. 

Maintain  tools  with  care.  Keep 
cutting tools maintained and clean. 

Properly  maintained  tools  are  less 
likely to bind and are easier to control. 
Do  not  use  a  damaged  tool.  Tag 
damaged  tools  “Do  not  use”  until 
repaired 

7. 

Check  for  misalignment  or  binding 
of moving parts, breakage of parts, 
and  any  other  condition  that  may 
affect  the  tool’s  operation.  If 

damaged,  have  the  tool  serviced 
before  using. 

Many  accidents  are 

caused by poorly maintained tools. 

8. 

Use  only  accessories  that  are 
recommended  by  the  manufacturer 
for your model. 

Accessories that may 

be  suitable  for  one  tool  may  become 
hazardous when used on another tool. 

 
                           

Service 

1.  Tool  service  must  be  performed  only 

by  qualified  repair  personnel.  Service 
or 

maintenance 

performed 

by 

unqualified personnel could result in a 
risk of injury. 

2.  When  servicing  a  tool,  use  only 

identical  replacement  parts.  Use  of 
unauthorized  parts  or  failure  to  follow 
maintenance instructions may create a 
risk of electric shock or injury. 

 
 
           

  SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES 

1. 

Maintain  labels  and  nameplates  on 
the  tool.

  These  carry  important 

information.  If  unreadable  or  missing, 
contact  TOOLEX  INDUSTRIAL  for  a 
replacement. 

2. 

Always  wear  the  approved  safety 
impact eye goggles and heavy work 
gloves  when  suing  the  tool. 

Using 

personal  safety  devices  reduce  the 
risk  for  injury.  Safety  impact  eye 
goggles  and  heavy  work  gloves  are 
available from Harbor Freight Tools. 

3. 

Maintain 

safe 

working 

environment.

  Keep  the  work  area 

well  lit.  Make  sure  there  is  adequate 
surrounding  workspace.  Always  keep 
the  work  area  free  of  obstructions, 
grease, oil, trash, and other debris. Do 
not  use  a  power  tool  in  areas  near 
flammable  chemicals,  dusts,  and 
vapors.  Do  not  use  this  product  in  a
