IMPORTANT SAFETY

INFORMATION

In this manual, on the labeling,

and all other information provid-

ed with this product:

This is the safety alert

symbol. It is used to alert

you to potential personal

injury hazards. Obey all

safety messages that

follow this symbol to avoid

possible injury or death.

DANGER indicates

a hazardous

situation which, if not

avoided, will result in death or

serious injury.

WARNING

indicates a

hazardous situation which, if

not avoided, could result in

death or serious injury.

CAUTION, used

with the safety

alert symbol, indicates a

hazardous situation which, if

not avoided, could result in

minor or moderate injury.

NOTICE is used to

address practices

not related to personal injury.

CAUTION, without

the safety alert

symbol, is used to address

practices not related to

personal injury.

General Power Tool Safety

Warnings

WARNING Read all safety

warnings and instructions.

Failure to follow the warnings and

instructions may result in electric

shock, re and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and

instructions for future reference.

The term ″power tool″ in the

warnings refers to your battery-

operated (cordless) power tool.

Work area safety1.

Keep work area clean and well lit. a.

Cluttered or dark areas invite acci-

dents.

Do not operate power tools in b.

explosive atmospheres, such as in

the presence of ammable liquids,

gases or dust. Power tools create

sparks which may ignite the dust or

fumes.

Keep children and bystanders c.

away while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose

control.

Electrical safety2.

Power tool plugs must match the a.

outlet. Never modify the plug in

any way. Do not use any adapter

plugs with grounded power tools.

SKU 99683 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353. Page 3

Unmodied plugs and matching out-

lets will reduce risk of electric shock.

Avoid body contact with grounded b.

surfaces such as pipes, radiators,

ranges and refrigerators. There is

an increased risk of electric shock if

your body is grounded.

Do not expose power tools to rain c.

or wet conditions. Water entering

a power tool will increase the risk of

electric shock.

Do not abuse the cord. Never use d.

the cord for carrying, pulling or

unplugging the power tool. Keep

cord away from heat, oil, sharp

edges or moving parts. Damaged

or entangled cords increase the risk

of electric shock.

When operating a power tool out-e.

doors, use an extension cord suit-

able for outdoor use. Use of a cord

suitable for outdoor use reduces the

risk of electric shock.

If operating a power tool in a damp f.

location is unavoidable, use a

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter

(GFCI) protected supply. Use of

a GFCI reduces the risk of electric

shock.

Personal safety3.

Stay alert, watch what you are do-a.

ing and use common sense when

operating a power tool. Do not use

a power tool while you are tired

or under the inuence of drugs,

alcohol or medication. A moment

of inattention while operating power

tools may result in serious personal

injury.

Use personal protective equip-b.

ment. Always wear eye protection.

Safety equipment such as dust mask,

non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or

hearing protection used for appropri-

ate conditions will reduce personal

injuries.

Prevent unintentional starting. c.

Ensure the switch is in the off-po-

sition before connecting to power

source and/or battery pack, pick-

ing up or carrying the tool. Carry-

ing power tools with your nger on

the switch or energizing power tools

that have the switch on invites acci-

dents.

Remove any adjusting key or d.

wrench before turning the power

tool on. A wrench or a key left at-

tached to a rotating part of the power

tool may result in personal injury.

Do not overreach. Keep proper e.

footing and balance at all times.

This enables better control of the

power tool in unexpected situations.

Dress properly. Do not wear loose f.

clothing or jewelry. Keep your

hair, clothing and gloves away

from moving parts. Loose clothes,

jewelry or long hair can be caught in

moving parts.

Only use safety equipment that g.

has been approved by an appropri-

ate standards agency. Unapproved

safety equipment may not provide

adequate protection. Eye protection

must be ANSI-approved and breath-

ing protection must be NIOSH-ap-

proved for the specic hazards in the

work area.

Power tool use and care4.

Do not force the power tool. Use a.

the correct power tool for your ap-

plication. The correct power tool will

SKU 99683 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353. Page 4

do the job better and safer at the rate

for which it was designed.

Do not use the power tool if the b.

switch does not turn it on and off.

Any power tool that cannot be con-

trolled with the switch is dangerous

and must be repaired.

Disconnect the plug from the c.

power source and the battery pack

from the power tool before making

any adjustments, changing ac-

cessories, or storing power tools.

Such preventive safety measures

reduce the risk of starting the power

tool accidentally.

Store idle power tools out of the d.

reach of children and do not allow

persons unfamiliar with the power

tool or these instructions to oper-

ate the power tool. Power tools are

dangerous in the hands of untrained

users.

Maintain power tools. Check for e.

misalignment or binding of moving

parts, breakage of parts and any

other condition that may affect the

power tool’s operation. If dam-

aged, have the power tool repaired

before use. Many accidents are

caused by poorly maintained power

tools.

Use the power tool, accessories f.

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 differ-

ent from those intended could result

in a hazardous situation.

Battery tool use and care5.

Recharge only with the charger a.

specied by the manufacturer. A

charger that is suitable for one type of

battery pack may create a risk of re

when used with another battery pack.

Use power tools only with speci-b.

cally designated battery packs.

Use of any other battery packs may

create a risk of injury and re.

When battery pack is not in use, c.

keep it away from other metal ob-

jects, like paper clips, coins, keys,

nails, screws or other small metal

objects, that can make a connec-

tion from one terminal to another.

Shorting the battery terminals togeth-

er may cause burns or a re.

Under abusive conditions, liquid d.

may be ejected from the battery;

avoid contact. If contact acciden-

tally occurs, ush with water. If

liquid contacts eyes, additionally

seek medical help. Liquid ejected

from the battery may cause irritation

or burns.

Service6.

Have your power tool serviced by a.

a qualied repair person using

only identical replacement parts.

This will ensure that the safety of the

power tool is maintained.

Screwdriver Safety Warnings

Hold power tools by insulated grip-1.

ping surfaces when performing an

operation where the cutting tool

may contact hidden wiring or its

own cord. Contact with a ″live″ wire

will make exposed metal parts of the

tool ″live″ and shock the operator.

Maintain labels and nameplates on 2.

information. If unreadable or miss-

ing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a

replacement.

Avoid unintentional starting. Prepare 3.

to begin work before turning on the

tool.

Do not lay the tool down until it has 4.

come to a complete stop. Moving

parts can grab the surface and pull

the tool out of your control.

When using a handheld power tool, 5.

Do not leave the tool unattended 6.

when it is plugged into an electrical

outlet. Turn off the tool, and unplug it

from its electrical outlet before leav-

ing.

hot during use. The

charger’s heat can build

up to unsafe levels and

vents on the charger. Especially

avoid placing the charger on car-
