number on the inside of the front cover. Keep the manual and invoice in a safe and dry place for future
reference.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WORK AREA
1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and 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 bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control. Protect others in the work area from debris such as chips and sparks. Provide
barriers or shields as needed.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
4. 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 qualified electrician if you are in doubt whether the
outlet is properly grounded. If the tool should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides
a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user.
5. Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).
This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified 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.

6. 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.
7. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk
of electric shock.
8. Do not abuse the Power Cord. Never use the Power Cord to carry the tool 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.
9. 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.
10. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment
of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
11. 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.
12. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the Power Switch is off before plugging in. Carrying power tools
with your finger on the Power Switch, or plugging in power tools with the Power Switch on, invites accidents.
13. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key that is left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
14. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables
better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
15. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
TOOL USE AND CARE
16. Use clamps (not included) or other practical ways to secure and support the work piece to a stable
platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
17. Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
18. Do not use the power tool if the Power Switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be
controlled with the Power Switch is dangerous and must be replaced.
19. Disconnect the Power Cord Plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool
accidentally.
20. Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
21. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools maintained and clean. Properly maintained tools are
less likely to bind and are easier to control. Do not use a damaged tool. Tag damaged tools “Do not use”
until repaired.
22. 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 serviced before using. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained tools.
23. Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that
may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used on another tool.

SERVICE
24. Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed
by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
25. 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.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
1. Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where cutting tools may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a ‘live’ wire will exposed metal parts on the
tool ‘live’ and shock the operator.
2. Maintain labels and nameplates on the tool. These carry important information. If unreadable or
missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.
3. Always wear ANSI-approved safety impact eye goggles and heavy work gloves when using the
tool. Using personal safety devices reduce the risk for injury. Safety impact eye goggles and heavy
work gloves are available from Harbor Freight Tools.
4. Maintain a safe working environment. Keep the work area well lit. Make sure there is adequate
surrounding workspace. Always keep the work area free of obstructions, grease, oil, trash, and other
debris. Do not use a power tool in areas near flammable chemicals, dusts, and vapors. Do not use this
product in a damp or wet location.
5. When using a handheld power tool, always maintain a firm grip on the tool with both hands to
resist starting torque. Always have one hand on the Handle, and the other either on the Spade
Handle or Side Handle.
6. Always keep the extension cord away from moving parts on the tool.
7. Avoid unintentional starting. Make sure you are prepared to begin work before turning on the Drill.
8. Make sure the Drill bit being used is free from burrs and any other foreign matter which could
damage the tool.
9. Never 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.
10. Always unplug the Drill from its electrical outlet before performing any inspection, maintenance,
or cleaning procedures.
11. Let Bits cool before touching, changing or adjusting them. Bits heat up dramatically while in use,
and are capable of severe burns.
12. Do not force the Drill. This tool will do the work better and safer at the speed and capacity for which it
was designed.
13. Always secure the workpiece in a vise or other appropriate device; never attempt to hold the
workpiece in your hand while drilling.
14. If the drill bit jams, release the trigger immediately; drill torque can cause injury.

15. WARNING! People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before using this product.
Electromagnetic fields in close proximity to a heart pacemaker could cause interference to or failure of
the pacemaker.
In addition, people with pacemakers should adhere to the following:
• Avoid operating power tools alone.
• Don’t use a power tool with the power switch locked on.
• If powered via a power cord be certain that the tool is properly grounded. A ground fault interrupt
(GFCI) system is also a good precaution. This inexpensive device is a good safety measure because
it prevents a sustained electrical shock.
• Properly maintain and inspect all tools before use to avoid electrical shock.
16. WARNING! Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities, contain 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. 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.

GROUNDING
WARNING!
Improperly connecting the grounding wire can result in the risk of electric
shock. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the
outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the power cord plug provided with
the tool. Never remove the grounding prong from the plug. Do not use the
tool if the power cord or plug is damaged. If damaged, have it repaired by a
service facility before use. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
GROUNDED TOOLS: TOOLS WITH THREE PRONG PLUGS
1. Tools marked with “Grounding Required” have a three wire cord and three prong
grounding plug. The plug must be connected to a properly grounded outlet. If the
tool should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low
resistance path to carry electricity away from the user, reducing the risk of electric
shock. (See Diagram A.)
2. The grounding prong in the plug is connected through the green wire inside the
cord to the grounding system in the tool. The green wire in the cord must be the only
wire connected to the tool’s grounding system and must never be attached to an
electrically “live” terminal. (See Diagram A.)
3. Your tool must be plugged into an appropriate outlet, properly installed and grounded
in accordance with all codes and ordinances. The plug and outlet should look like
those in the following illustration. (See Diagram A.)

DIAGRAM A
DOUBLE INSULATED TOOLS: TOOLS WITH TWO PRONG PLUGS
4. Tools marked “Double Insulated” do not require grounding. They have a special
double insulation system which satisfies OSHA requirements and complies with
the applicable standards of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., the Canadian Standard
Association, and the National Electrical Code. (See Diagram B.)
5. Double insulated tools may be used in either of the 120 volt outlets shown in the
following illustration. (See Diagram B.)

6. If you are using an extension cord outdoors, make sure it is marked with the suffix
“W-A” (“W” in Canada) to indicate it is acceptable for outdoor use.
7. Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition.
Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified
electrician before using it.
8. Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet
areas.
