activities, contain chemicals known (to the State
of California) to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Some examples of
these chemicals are: lead from lead-based paints,
crystalline silica from bricks and cement or other
masonry products, arsenic and chromium from
chemically treated lumber. Your risk from these
exposures varies, depending on how often you do
this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work
with approved safety equipment, such as those
dust masks that are specially designed to lter out
microscopic particles. (California Health &
Safety Code 25249.5, et seq.)
Tool Use and Care
16. Use clamps (not included) or other practical
ways to secure and support the work piece
to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand
or against your body is unstable and may lead to
loss of control.
17. 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 de-
signed.
18. 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.
19. 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.
20. Store idle tools out of reach of children and
other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous
in the hands of untrained users.
21. 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.
22. Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, and any other condi-
tion that may affect the tool’s operation. If
damaged, have the tool serviced before using.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
tools.
Service
23. Tool service must be performed only by quali-
ed repair personnel. Service or maintenance
performed by unqualied personnel could result in
a risk of injury.
24. When servicing a tool, use only identical
replacement parts. Use of unauthorized parts or
failure to follow maintenance instructions may cre-
ate a risk of electric shock or injury.
Specic Safety Rules
1. Maintain labels and nameplates on the tool.
These carry important information. If unreadable
or missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a
replacement.
2. Always wear ANSI-approved safety impact eye
goggles and heavy work gloves when using
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. Always use proper guard with grinding wheel.
A guard protects operator from broken wheel
fragments.
4. Make sure to read and understand all instruc-
tions and safety precautions as outlined in the
manufacturer’s manual.
5. When starting a handheld power tool, always
maintain a rm grip on the tool with both
hands to resist starting torque.
6. Always keep the extension cord away from
moving parts on the tool.
7. Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the tool may
contact hidden wiring or its own power cord.
Contact with a “live” wire will make exposed
metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the
operator.
8. WARNING! All accessories for this tool must
be rated for at least 6500 RPM. Grinding
wheels and other accessories running over
their rated speed can y apart and cause in-
jury.
9. Never lay the tool down until the motor has
come to a complete stop. The tool may create
unforeseen risk while the motor cycles down.
