IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

General Power Tool Safety Warnings

Read all safety warnings and instructions.

Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term ″power tool″ in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool.

Work area safety

1. Keep work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools

create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical safety

1. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with grounded power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching

outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

2. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of

electric shock if your body is grounded.

3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool

will increase the risk of electric shock.

Personal safety

1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.

A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

2. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment

such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

4. Do not abuse the cord. Never use 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.

5. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor

use reduces the risk of electric shock.

6. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protected supply.

Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.

5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control

of the power tool in unexpected situations.

6. Dress properly. Do not wear loose 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.

7. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of

these devices can reduce dust-related hazards.

SAFETYOPERATIONMAINTENANCE SETUP

3. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source, picking up or carrying the tool.

Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools that

have the switch on invites accidents.

4. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on.

A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

8. Only use safety equipment that has been approved by an appropriate standards agency.

Unapproved safety equipment may not provide adequate protection. Eye protection must be ANSI-approved and breathing protection must be NIOSH-approved for the specific hazards in the work area.

Service

Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the

safety of the power tool is maintained.

The correct power tool will do the job better and

safer at the rate for which it was designed.

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

before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools.

Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are

dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

5. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents

are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges

are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

7. Use the power tool, accessories 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 different from those

intended could result in a hazardous situation.

Rotary Hammer Safety Warnings

1. Wear ear protectors with rotary hammers.

Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.

2. Use auxiliary handles supplied with the tool.

Loss of control can cause personal injury.

3. Hold power tools by insulated gripping 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.

4. Let bit cool before touching, changing or adjusting it. Bits heat up dramatically

while in use, and can burn you.

5. If the drill bit jams, release the

trigger immediately; drill torque can cause injury or break bit.

6. Maintain labels and nameplates on the tool. These carry important safety information.

If unreadable or missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.

7. Avoid unintentional starting. Prepare to begin work before turning on the tool.

8. 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.

9. When using a handheld power tool,

maintain a firm grip on the tool with both hands to resist starting torque.

10. 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.

11. This product is not a toy. Keep it out of reach of children.

12. 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 power switch locked on.

• Properly maintain and inspect to avoid electrical shock.

• Any power cord must be properly grounded. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) should also be implemented – it prevents sustained electrical shock.

Rotary Hammer Safety Warnings (cont.)

13. The warnings, precautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction manual cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood by the

operator that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator.

Vibration Safety

This tool vibrates during use.

Repeated or long-term exposure to vibration may cause temporary or permanent physical injury, particularly to the hands, arms and shoulders. To reduce the risk of vibration-related injury:

1. Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for

an extended period should first be examined by a doctor and then have regular medical check-ups to ensure medical problems are not being caused or worsened from use. Pregnant women or people who have

impaired blood circulation to the hand, past hand injuries, nervous system disorders, diabetes, or Raynaud’s Disease should not use this tool. If you feel any symptoms related to vibration (such as tingling, numbness, and white or blue fingers), seek medical advice as soon as possible.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

SAFETYOPERATIONMAINTENANCE SETUP

2. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces the blood supply to the hands and fingers, increasing the risk of vibration-related injury.

3. Wear suitable gloves to reduce the

vibration effects on the user.

4. Use tools with the lowest vibration when there is a choice.

5. Include vibration-free periods each day of work.

6. Grip tool as lightly as possible

(while still keeping safe control of it). Let the tool do the work.

7. To reduce vibration, maintain the tool as explained in this manual. If any abnormal

vibration occurs, stop use immediately.
