IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
General Power Tool Safety Warnings
Read all safety warnings and all 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. Protective
equipment such as dust mask, non-
skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
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. 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.
4. Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power
tool in unexpected situations.
5. 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.
6. If devices are provided for the connection
of dust extraction and collection
facilities, ensure these are connected
and properly used. Use of dust collection
can reduce dust‑related hazards.
7. 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.

Power Tool Use and Care
1. Do not force the power tool. Use
the correct power tool for your
SAFETY OPERATION MAINTENANCESETUP
application. The correct power tool
will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
2. Do not use the power tool if the Switch
does not turn it on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the Switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
3. Disconnect the plug from the power
source before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing
power tools. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting
the power tool accidentally.
4. Store idle power tools out of the
reach of 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.
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.
Belt and Non-disc Sander Safety Warnings
1. 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.
2. Maintain labels and nameplates on the tool.
These carry important safety information.
If unreadable or missing, contact
Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.
3. Avoid unintentional starting.
Prepare to begin work before
turning on the tool.
4. 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.

5. When using a handheld power tool,
maintain a firm grip on the tool with
both hands to resist starting torque.
6. 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.
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. 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 Switch locked on.
