additional safety warnings

1. Maintain labels and nameplates on the
tool. These carry important safety infor-
mation. If unreadable or missing, con-
tact Harbor Freight Tools for a replace-
ment.
2. Avoid unintentional starting. Prepare to
begin work before turning on the tool.
3. 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.
4. When using a handheld power tool,
maintain a firm grip on the tool with both
hands to resist starting torque.
5. Do not leave the Charger unattended
when it is plugged into an electrical
outlet. Unplug it from its electrical outlet
before leaving.
6. The battery charger gets hot
during use. The charger's
heat can build up to unsafe
levels and create a fire haz-
ard if it does not receive adequate venti-
lation, due to an electrical fault, or if it is
used in a hot environment.
Do not place the charger on a flammable
surface. Do not obstruct any vents on
the charger. especially avoid placing
the charger on carpets and rugs; they
are not only flammable, but they also
obstruct vents under the charger.
Place the charger on a stable, solid,
nonflammable surface (such as a stable
metal workbench or concrete floor) at
least 1 foot away from all flammable
objects, such as drapes or walls. Keep a
fire extinguisher and a smoke detector in
the area. Frequently monitor the charger
and battery during use.
7. This product is not a toy. Keep it out of
reach of children.

8. People with pacemakers should consult
their physician(s) before use. Electro-
magnetic fields in close proximity to
heart pacemaker could cause pace-
maker interference or pacemaker failure.
In addition, people with pacemakers
should:
• Avoid operating alone.
• Do not use with power switch locked
on.
• Properly maintain and inspect to avoid
electrical shock.
• Any power cord must be properly
grounded. Ground Fault Circuit Inter-
rupter (GFCI) should also be imple-
mented – it prevents sustained electri-
cal shock.
9. Some dust created by power sand-
ing, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities, contains chemi-
cals 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 ce-
ment 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 ventilat-
ed area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks
that are specially designed to filter out
microscopic particles. (California Health
& Safety Code § 25249.5, et seq.)
