m. This product is not a toy.
Keep it out of reach of children.
n. 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 Trigger 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.
o. 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.
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. Maintain labels and nameplates on the tool.
These carry important safety information.
If unreadable or missing, contact
Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.
6.
Cut-off machine safety warnings
a.
Position yourself and bystanders away from
the plane of the rotating wheel.
The guard
helps to protect the operator from broken wheel
fragments and accidental contact with wheel.
b.
Use only bonded reinforced wheels
for your power tool.
Just because an
accessory can be attached to your power
tool, it does not assure safe operation.
c.
The rated speed of the accessory must be at
least equal to the maximum speed marked
on the power tool.
Accessories running faster
than their rated speed can break and fly apart.
d.
Wheels must be used only for recommended
applications. For example: do not grind
with the side of a cut-off wheel.
Abrasive
cut-off wheels are intended for peripheral
grinding, side forces applied to these
wheels may cause them to shatter.
e.
Always use undamaged wheel flanges that
are of correct diameter for your selected
wheel.
Proper wheel flanges supporl the wheel
thus reducing the possibility of wheel breakage.
f.
The outside diameter and the thickness of your
accessory must be within the capacity rating
of your power tool.
Incorrectly sized accessories
cannot be adequately guarded or controlled.
g.
The arbour size of wheels and flanges
must properly flt the spindle of the power
tool.
Wheels and flanges with arbour holes
that do not match the mounting hardware of
the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate
excessively and may cause loss of control.
h.
Do not use damaged wheels. Before each
use, Inspect the wheels for chips and cracks.
If the power tool or wheel Is dropped, inspect
for damage or install an undamaged wheel.
After inspecting and installing the wheel,
position yourself and bystanders away
from the plane of the rotating wheel and
run the power tool at maximum no load
speed for one minute.
Damaged wheels will
normally break apart during this test time.
