Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the
Trigger is dangerous and must be repaired.

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 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.
