General Power Tool Safety
Warnings
IMPORTANT SAFETY
INFORMATION
In this manual, on the labeling,
and all other information
provided with this product:
This is the safety alert
symbol. It is used to alert
you to potential personal
injury hazards. Obey all
safety messages that
follow this symbol to avoid
possible injury or death.
DANGER indicates
a hazardous
situation which, if not
avoided, will result in death or
serious injury.
WARNING
indicates a
hazardous situation which, if
not avoided, could result in
death or serious injury.
CAUTION, used
with the safety
alert symbol, indicates a
hazardous situation which, if
not avoided, could result in
minor or moderate injury.
WARNING Read all safety
warnings and instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric
shock, re 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.
1. Work area safety
a. Keep work area clean and well
lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite
accidents.
b. Do not operate power tools in
explosive atmospheres, such as in
the presence of ammable liquids,
gases or dust.
c. Keep children and bystanders
away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
2. Electrical safety
a. Power tool plugs must match the
outlet. Never modify the plug in
any way. Do not use any adapter
plugs with grounded power tools.
Unmodied plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric
shock.
Page 2SKU 60662 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353.
b. 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.
c. Do not expose power tools to rain
or wet conditions. Water entering
a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
d. 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.
e. 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.
f. If operating 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.
3. Personal safety
a. 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 inuence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
b. Use safety equipment. Always
wear ANSI-approved safety goggles,
heavy-duty work gloves and face
shield during use.
c. Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
4. Power tool use and care
a. Do not force tool. Use the correct
tool for your application. The
correct tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
b. Disconnect the plug from the
power source and/or the battery
pack from the tool before making
any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting
the power tool accidentally.
c. Store idle tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the tool or these
instructions to operate the power
tool. Welding tools are dangerous in
the hands of untrained users.
d. Maintain welding tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect
the tool’s operation. If damaged,
have the tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained tools.
e. Keep cutting tools sharp and
clean. Properly maintained cutting
tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
f. Use the tool and accessories
in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account
the working conditions and the
work to be performed. Use of the
tool for operations different from
those intended could result in a
hazardous situation.

5. Service
a. Have your tool serviced by a
qualied repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the tool
is maintained.
Welding Kit Safety Warnings
is designed to be used only to weld
plastic items.
13. When working with plastics, varnish,
or similar materials, gases develop
that are easily ammable and can
lead to explosions. Be prepared for
ames to develop and keep suitable
re extinguishing means at hand.
1. Do not use this Plastic Welding Kit
near ammable materials.
2. Handle hot tip with care. Do not
touch any metal parts on the Welder
until they have completely cooled.
3. Use in well-ventilated areas only.
4. Do not place the Welder in a vise to
change heating elements.
5. Always use Wire Brush (5) to clean
the tip on the Welder.
6. Avoid electrical shock. Do not use in
a damp or wet environment.
7. Never rest the Welder on a ammable surface.
8. Avoid unintentional starting. Prepare
to begin work before plugging in tool.
9. Do not leave the tool unattended
when it is plugged into an electrical
outlet. Unplug it from its electrical
outlet and allow it to cool before
leaving.
10. Use clamps (not included) or other
practical ways to secure and support
the workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the work by hand or against
your body is unstable and may lead
to loss of control.
11. This product is not a toy. Keep it out
of reach of children.
12. This product is designed for use only
for plastic welding. This product
14. Do not point Welder at people or
animals. The intense heat can injure
them.
15. Maintain labels and nameplates on
the tool. These carry important safety
information. If unreadable or missing,
contact Harbor Freight Tools for a
replacement.
16. People with pacemakers should
consult their physician(s) before
use. Electromagnetic elds in close
proximity to heart pacemaker could
cause pacemaker interference or
pacemaker failure. In addition,
people with pacemakers should:
• Avoid operating alone.
• 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.
17. Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling,
and other construction activities,
contains 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
