General Power Tool Safety Warnings

WARNING 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 battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

1. Electrical safety

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

will increase the risk of electric shock.

2. 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 influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment

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

b. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and

balance at all times. This enables better control

of the power tool in unexpected situations.

3. Power tool use and care

a. 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.

b. Remove the batteries from the power 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 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.

d. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment

or binding of 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.

4. Service

a. 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.

Metal Detector Safety Warnings

1. Maintain labels and nameplates on the tool.
These carry important safety information. If
unreadable or missing, contact Harbor
Freight Tools for a replacement.

2. Handle Tool carefully at all times. Dropping Tool
can cause damage to circuit boards and housing,
which can cause the tool malfunction or failure.

3. Position batteries in proper polarity and
do not install batteries of different types,
charge levels, or capacities together.

4. Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles and heavy-duty
work gloves when assembling and digging holes.

5. Consult local regulations before using detector,
digging, or taking any findings. Obtain property
owner’s permission before detecting on their property.

SAFETYOPERATIONMAINTENANCE SETUP

6. Only use and store in normal temperature
environments. Extremes in temperature can

shorten effectiveness of electronic devices
and melt or damage plastic parts.

7. Avoid electrical shock. Any metal detector may
discover underground power lines, explosives
or other items which when struck could cause
personal injury. Do not use this product in areas
where there might be underground electric lines
or pipes buried at shallow depths. Never search
in military zones where bombs or other explosives
may be buried. Avoid striking any line known or
suspected to be carrying electric power. Do not
search any pipeline, particularly if it could contain
a flammable gas or liquid. In areas of uncertain
conditions, use reasonable caution before using
the Tool. If there is any question about a condition
being safe of unsafe, do not operate the Tool.

8. Keep the Metal Detector away from any lights,
TVs, computers, and mobile telephones. These
can all cause electromagnetic interference.

9. Only the Search Coil and black section of the
Lower Leg are waterproof. Do not immerse the
unit beyond the black section of the Lower Leg.

10. Keep the Tool clean. Wipe the housing after
each use. The search coil is washable and can
be fully submerged. Never submerge the control
housing. Protect the control housing from rain,
blowing surf and heavy mist. Disassemble the
Leg and wipe it clean after use in sandy areas.

11. Use the right tool for the job. There are certain
applications for which this tool was designed.
Do not modify this tool and do not use this tool
for a purpose for which it was not intended.

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

13. 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.

• Properly maintain and inspect
to avoid electrical shock.

14. WARNING: This product contains or, when
used, produces 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.)

15. 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.
