Safety Warnings and Precautions
WARNING: When using tool, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of personal injury and damage to equipment.
Read all instructions before using this tool!
1. Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas invite injuries.
2. Observe work area conditions. Do not use machines or power tools in damp or wet locations. Don’t
expose to rain. Keep work area well lighted. Do not use electrically powered tools in the presence of
flammable gases or liquids.
3. Keep children away. Children must never be allowed in the work area. Do not let them handle
machines, tools, or extension cords.
4. Store idle equipment. When not in use, tools must be stored in a dry location to inhibit rust. Always
lock up tools and keep out of reach of children.
5. Use the right tool for the job. Do not attempt to force a small tool or attachment to do the work of a
larger industrial tool. There are certain applications for which this tool was designed. It will do the job
better and more safely at the rate for which it was intended. Do not modify this tool and do not use this
tool for a purpose for which it was not intended.
6. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry as they can be caught in moving parts.
Protective, electrically nonconductive clothes and nonskid footwear are recommended when working.
Wear restrictive hair covering to contain long hair.
7. Use eye and ear protection. Always wear ANSI approved impact safety goggles. Wear a full face shield
if you are producing metal filings or wood chips.
8. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Do not reach over or across running
machines.

9. Maintain tools with care. Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer performance. Follow
instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect tool cords periodically and, if damaged,
have them repaired by an authorized technician. The handles must be kept clean, dry, and free from oil
and grease at all times.
10. Avoid unintentional starting. Be sure the switch is in the Off position when not in use and before
plugging in.
11. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, use common sense. Do not operate any tool when you are tired.
12. Check for damaged parts. Before using any tool, any part that appears damaged should be carefully
checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment
and binding of moving parts; any broken parts or mounting fixtures; and any other condition that may
affect proper operation. Any part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by a qualified
technician. Do not use the tool if any switch does not turn On and Off properly.
13. Guard against electric shock. Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators,
ranges, and refrigerator enclosures.
14. Replacement parts and accessories. When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Use of any
other parts will void the warranty. Only use accessories intended for use with this tool. Approved
accessories are available from Harbor Freight Tools.
15. Do not operate tool if under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Read warning labels on prescriptions
to determine if your judgment or reflexes are impaired while taking drugs. If there is any doubt, do not
operate the tool.
16. Use proper size and type extension cord. If an extension cord is required, it must be of the proper size
and type to supply the correct current to the tool without heating up. Otherwise, the extension cord could
melt and catch fire, or cause electrical damage to the tool. This tool requires use of an extension cord of
0 to 10 amps capability (up to 50 feet), with wire size rated at 18 AWG. Longer extension cords require
larger size wire. If you are using the tool outdoors, use an extension cord rated for outdoor use (signified
by “WA” on the jacket).
17. Maintenance. For your safety, maintenance should be performed regularly by a qualified technician.
18. Never use the Electric Chainsaw Sharpener around flammable materials.
19. This product contains lead, which is a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer and
birth defects or other reproductive harm. (California Health & Safety Code § 25249.5,
et seq.
)
Note: Performance of this tool (if powered by line voltage) may vary depending on varia-
tions in local line voltage. Extension cord usage may also affect tool performance.
Warning: The warnings, cautions, 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.
