GENERAL SAFETY RULES

WARNING!

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

SKU 93880 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353 PAGE 2

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 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.

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 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.

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.

PERSONAL SAFETY

10. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating this product. Do not use the Pipe Threader while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while

operating this product 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. Make sure the Power Cord remains unplugged from its electrical outlet until this product is completely assembled, filled with water, and ready to use.

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

SKU 93880 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353 PAGE 3

footing and balance enables better control of this product in unexpected situations.

14. Use safety equipment. Wear eye protection when assembling this product. Nonskid safety shoes must be used for appropriate conditions.

TOOL USE AND CARE

15. Disconnect the Power Cord Plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the Pipe Threader. Such

preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the unit accidentally.

16. Store idle equipment out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Electrically powered products are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

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

any other condition that may affect this product’s operation. If damaged, have the Pipe Threader serviced before using. Many accidents are caused

by poorly maintained equipment.

SERVICE

18. Service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.

19. When servicing this product, use only identical replacement parts. Follow

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

may create a risk of electric shock or injury.

“Inspection, Maintenance, And Cleaning”

section of this

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

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

2. Wear ANSI-approved safety impact eye goggles and heavy duty work

gloves when using the Pipe Threader. Using personal safety devices reduce the risk for injury. Safety impact eye goggles and heavy duty work gloves are available from Harbor Freight Tools.

3. Maintain a safe environment. Keep the area well lit. Make sure there is adequate surrounding space. Always keep the area free of obstructions, grease, oil, trash, and other debris. Do not use an electrically powered product in areas near flammable chemicals, dusts, and vapors.

4. Never leave the Pipe Threader unattended when it is plugged into an electrical outlet. Turn off the Pipe Threader and unplug the tool before leaving.

5. Carefully inspect the condition of the Pipe Threader before use, and check the tool continually during use. If any damage is noted, stop immediately and repair or replace the Pipe Threader.

6. Avoid electrical shock. Make sure the Pipe Threader is unplugged from

its electrical outlet prior to performing any inspection, maintenance, or cleaning procedures. Do not use the Pipe Threader in the rain or in wet conditions.

7. Use the right product for the job. There are certain applications for which this product was designed. Do not use small tools, equipment, or accessories to do the work of larger industrial tools, equipment, or accessories. Do not use this product for a purpose for which it was not intended.

8. Do not allow children or other unauthorized people to handle or play with

this product.

9. Industrial applications must follow OSHA requirements.

10. Always secure the pipe being threaded with the Pipe Clamp assembly (56,

57, 58). See Figure G on page 10.

11. WARNING! People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before using this product. Operation of electrical equipment in close proximity to a heart pacemaker could cause interference or failure of the pacemaker.

12. WARNING! The warnings and cautions discussed in this 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.

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 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 Figure 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 Figure 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 Figure A.)
