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 mains-operated (corded)
power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) 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 flammable liquids,
gases or dust. Power tools create
sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
c. Keep children and bystanders
away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
2. Electrical safety
Do not expose power tools to rain
or wet conditions. Water entering
a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
3. Personal safety
a. Stay alert, watch what you are
doing and use common sense when
Page 2 For technical questions, please call 1-888-866-5797. Item 69360
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. 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.
c. Prevent unintentional starting.
Ensure the trigger is in the offposition before connecting to power
source and/or battery pack, 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.
d. 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.
e. Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool
in unexpected situations.
f. 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.
g. 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.
h. 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.
4. Power tool use and care
a. Do not force the power tool. Use
the correct power tool for your
application. The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate
for which it was designed.
b. 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.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or the battery pack 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.
d. 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.
e. 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.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to
bind and are easier to control.

g. 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.
5. Battery tool use and care
a. Recharge only with the charger
specified by the manufacturer. A
charger that is suitable for one type of
battery pack may create a risk of fire
when used with another battery pack.
b. Use power tools only with
specifically designated battery
packs. Use of any other battery packs
may create a risk of injury and fire.
c. When battery pack is not in use, keep
it away from other metal objects,
like paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws or other small metal objects,
that can make a connection from
one terminal to another. Shorting the
battery terminals together may cause
burns or a fire.
d. Under abusive conditions, liquid
may be ejected from the battery;
avoid contact. If contact accidentally
occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
6. 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.
Drill and Impact Drill 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. Let bit cool before touching, changing
or adjusting it. Bits heat up dramatically
while in use, and can burn you.
3. If the drill bit jams, release the trigger
immediately; drill torque can cause injury
or break bit.
4. Maintain labels and nameplates on
the tool. These carry important safety
information. If unreadable or missing,
contact Harbor Freight Tools for a
replacement.
5. Avoid unintentional starting. Prepare to
begin work before turning on the tool.
6. 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.
7. When using a handheld power tool,
maintain a firm grip on the tool with both
hands to resist starting torque.
8. 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.
9. The battery charger gets hot
during use. The charger’s
heat can build up to unsafe
levels and create a fire hazard
if it does not receive adequate
ventilation, due to an electrical fault, or if
it is used in a hot environment.
Page 4 For technical questions, please call 1-888-866-5797. Item 69360
Do not place the charger on a flammable
surface. Do not obstruct any vents on
the charger. Especially avoid placing
the charger on carpets and rugs; they
are not only flammable, but they also
obstruct vents under the charger.
Place the charger on a stable, solid,
nonflammable surface (such as a stable
metal workbench or concrete floor) at
least 1 foot away from all flammable
objects, such as drapes or walls. Keep a
fire extinguisher and a smoke detector in
the area. Frequently monitor the charger
and battery while charging.
10. This product is not a toy. Keep it out of
reach of children.
11. 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 trigger 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.
12. WARNING: Some dust created by
power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction activities,
contains chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer and 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
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type
of work. To reduce your exposure to
these chemicals: work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks
that are specially designed to filter out
microscopic particles. (California Health
& Safety Code § 25249.5, et seq.)
13. WARNING: The cord of this product
contains lead and/or di (2-ethylhexyl)
phthalate (DEHP), chemicals known to
the State of California to cause cancer,
