WORK AREA

1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas

invite accidents.

2. Do not operate power equipment in explosive atmospheres, such as in the

presence of ammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power equipment can create

sparks which may ignite ammables.

3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating power

equipment. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

PERSONAL SAFETY

1. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when

operating power equipment. Do not use power equipment while tired or

under the inuence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention

while operating power equipment may result in serious personal injury.

2. RISK OF ENTANGLEMENT! Dress properly. Do not wear loose

clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or

long hair can be caught in moving parts.

3. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the Power Switch is off before plugging

in. Plugging in power equipment with the Power Switch on invites accidents.

4. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning on power equipment.

A wrench or a key that is left attached to a moving part of power equipment may

result in personal injury.

5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper

footing and balance enables better control of the power equipment in unexpected

situations.

6. Use safety equipment. Always wear ANSI approved safety impact eye

goggles underneath a full face shield.

TOOL USE AND CARE

1. 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.

2. Do not force power equipment. Use the correct equipment for your

application. The correct equipment will do the job better and safer at the rate for

which it is designed.

SKU 91315 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353. Page 3

3. Do not use power equipment if the Power Switch does not turn it on or off.

Any equipment that cannot be controlled with the Power Switch is dangerous and

must be repaired or replaced.

4. Disconnect the Power Cord Plug from the power source before making

any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the power equipment.

Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the equipment

accidentally.

5. Store idle equipment out of reach of children and other untrained persons.

Power equipment is dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

6. Maintain power equipment with care. Properly maintained equipment are less

likely to fail and are easier to control. Do not use damaged power equipment.

Tag damaged power equipment “Do not use” until repaired.

7. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and

any other condition that may affect the power equipment’s operation. If

damaged, have the equipment serviced before using. Many accidents are

caused by poorly maintained power equipment.

8. Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your

model. Accessories that may be suitable for one power equipment may become

hazardous when used on another power equipment.

SERVICE

1. Tool service must be performed only by qualied repair personnel. Service

or maintenance performed by unqualied personnel could result in a risk of injury.

2. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow

instructions in the “Inspection, Maintenance, And Cleaning” section of this

manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions

may create a risk of electric shock or injury.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

1. Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and

grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the

grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter

plugs. Check with a qualied electrician if you are in doubt as to whether

the outlet is properly grounded. If the tools should electrically malfunction or

break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away

from the user.

2. Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is

wider than the other). This plug will t in a polarized outlet only one way.

SKU 91315 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353. Page 4

If the plug does not t fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does

not t, contact a qualied electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not

change the plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates the need for the

three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.

3. 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.

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

tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

5. Do not abuse the Power Cord. Never use the Power Cord to carry the

tools or pull the Plug from an outlet. Keep the Power Cord away from

heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged Power Cords

immediately. Damaged Power Cords increase the risk of electric shock.

6. When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord

marked “W-A” or “W”. These extension cords are rated for outdoor use, and

reduce the risk of electric shock.

WARNING!

IMPORTANT! A 220V / 50-60 Hz, 12 FLA / Duty Cycle: 5 min, 2 HP / Single Phase, Dedicated 20A circuit is required. It also requires a

single phase, 3-prong 250V/20A (NEMA L6-20P) power plug (not included).

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

1. DANGER! Make sure you know the weight of the vehicle you are

going to lift before using the Scissor Lift. Do not exceed the maximum lift

capacity (6,000 pounds at 48” elevation) for the Scissor Lift. Overloading the

Scissor Lift could cause personal injury and/or property damage. Be aware of

REV 07j

SKU 91315 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353. Page 5

dynamic loading! If a weight suddenly falls onto the Scissor Lift, it may create for

a brief instant an excess load which may result in personal injury and/or damage

to the vehicle and Scissor Lift.

2. Use the Scissor Lift only in well ventilated areas. Carbon monoxide

exhausted from running vehicle engines is a colorless, odorless fume that, if

inhaled, can cause serious personal injury or death.

3. Maintain labels and nameplates on the Scissor Lift. These carry important

information. If unreadable or missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a

replacement. There is a WARNING label attached to the Scissor Lift. Read and

fully understand the contents of the WARNING label. Do not remove the warning

label from the Scissor Lift.

4. Make sure to read and understand all instructions and safety precautions

as outlined in the manufacturer’s manual for the vehicle you are lifting. All

four Rubber Saddles (39B) of the Scissor Lift must be used when lifting a vehicle.

Always use the manufacturer’s recommended lifting points.

5. Do not use the Scissor Lift on any asphalt surface. Make sure the Scissor

Lift is used on a dry, oil/grease free, at, level, CONCRETE surface capable

of supporting the weight of the Scissor Lift, the vehicle being lifted, and any

additional tools and equipment. The concrete oor surface should have a

minimum thickness of 5”. The concrete must have a minimum strength of 4,000

PSI, and should be aged at least 30 days prior to use. Do not use the Scissor

Lift on concrete expansion seams or on cracked, defective concrete.

6. Always examine the Scissor Lift for structural cracks, bends, damage to

the hydraulic hoses and electrical wiring, and any other condition that may

affect the safe operation of the Lift. Do not use the Scissor Lift even if minor

damage is detected.

7. IMPORTANT! Operation (raising or lowering) of the Scissor Lift can be

immediately stopped at any time by releasing pressure on the Power

Switch located on the Motor (1A).

8. Make sure the Oil Tank (13A) is completely lled (approx. 6.5 quarts) with a

premium quality hydraulic oil prior to operating the Scissor Lift.

9. Always allow at least two seconds after the Motor (1A) starts to raise or

lower the Scissor Lift. Failure to do so may cause the Motor to burn out.

10. Prior to beginning a job, make sure the Safety Lock Assembly (36B) and its

Safety Catches are in the proper position. NEVER work underneath a vehicle

without using additional safety support devices (i.e., jack stands) to support the

vehicle.
