may make exposed metal parts of the power tool
″live″ and could give the operator an electric shock.
2. Use clamps or another practical way to secure
and support the workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the work by hand or against your body
leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
3. Do not leave power tool unattended
while it is running.
4. Before each use, move the Tension Handle to
the tightened position (making the blade taut).
5. Work slowly and carefully to avoid
snagging when cutting near corners,
sharp edges, ragged welds, etc.
6. Cutting material and the motor housing can get
very hot during operation. Stop work until tool
and blade both cool down to safe temperature.
7. Maintain labels and nameplates on the tool.
These carry important safety information.
If unreadable or missing, contact
Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.
8. Avoid unintentional starting.
Prepare to begin work before turning on the tool.
9. 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.
10. When using a handheld power tool,
maintain a firm grip on the tool with both
hands to resist starting torque.
11. 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.
12. This product is not a toy.
Keep it out of reach of children.
13. 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.
