GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING!
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock and/or serious injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WORK AREA
1. Keep the flight area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite acci-
dents.
2. Do not operate electrically powered toys in explosive atmospheres, such as
in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Electrically powered
toys create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating this product.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
4. Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and
SKU 94737 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 this product to rain or wet conditions. Water entering an
electrically powered toy will increase the risk of electric shock.
8. Do not abuse the Power Cord on the AC/DC Adapter or Charger. Never use
the Power Cord to carry these components or pull the Plug from an outlet.
Keep the Power Cords away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts.
Replace damaged Power Cords immediately. Damaged Power Cords in-
crease the risk of electric shock.
9. When operating this product 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 this product while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operat-
ing 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. Be sure the Power Switch is off before plugging
in. Carrying electrically powered toys with your finger on the Power Switch, or
plugging in this product with the Power Switch on, invites accidents.

13. 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.
14. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate
conditions.
PRODUCT USE AND CARE
15. Do not force the this product. Use the correct product for your application.
The correct product will perform better and safer at the rate for which it is
designed.
16. Do not use this product if the Power Switch does not turn it on or off.
Any product that cannot be controlled with the Power Switch is dangerous and
must be replaced.
17. Disconnect the Power Cord Plug from the power source before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing this product. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the unit accidentally.
18. Store this product out of reach of children and other untrained persons.
Electrically powered toys are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
19. Maintain this product with care. Keep this product and its accessories
clean. Properly maintained toys are less likely to malfunction and are easier
to control. Do not use this product if damaged. Tag this product “Do not use”
until repaired.
20. 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 this product serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained products.
21. Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your
model. Accessories that may be suitable for one product may become hazardous when used on another product.
SERVICE
22. Product service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel.
Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk
of injury.

23. When servicing this product, 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. Maintain labels and nameplates on the Helicopter. These carry important
information. If unreadable or missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.
2. Always wear ANSI approved safety impact eye goggles when assem
bling and operating the Remote Control Helicopter. Using personal
safety devices reduce the risk for injury. Safety impact eye goggles are
available from Harbor Freight Tools.
3. Maintain a safe flying environment. Make sure there is adequate surrounding
outdoor space. Always keep the flight area free of obstructions, grease, oil,
trash, and other debris. Do not use an electrically powered toy in areas near
flammable chemicals, dusts, and vapors.
4. Avoid unintentional starting. Make sure you are prepared to begin work
before turning on the Remote Control Helicopter.
5. Do not force this product. This product will perform better and safer at
the speed and capacity for which it was designed.
6. IMPORTANT: Carefully inspect the condition of the Remote Control Helicopter
before each use, and check the product continually during use. If any damage is
noted, stop immediately and repair or replace the Helicopter.
7. The charge time for the internal Battery is 3 to 5 hours. Do not charge the
Battery for over 5 hours as damage to the Battery and/or Helicopter may result.
8. Always discontinue operating the Helicopter when its performance begins
to diminish. Severe heat is most destructive to a Battery. The more heat generated, the faster the Battery loses its power. A Battery that gets too hot can be
permanently damaged. Never over-discharge a Battery by operating the Helicopter even after its performance is decreasing. Never attempt to discharge the
Helicopter’s Battery by continuing to operate the unit. When the Helicopter’s
performance begins to diminish stop the unit, re-charge the Battery, and use the
fresh Battery for optimal performance.
