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. Electrically powered tools create sparks which may
ignite the dust or fumes.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

1. Grounded products 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 as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. If the

product should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance
path to carry electricity away from the user.

2. Double insulated products 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.

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 this product to rain or wet conditions. Water entering this tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.

5. 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.

PERSONAL SAFETY

1. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating power
tools. Do not use electrically powered products while tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating these products

may result in serious personal injury.

2. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and
balance enables better control in unexpected situations.

3. Use safety equipment when using this product. Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles.
Always wear ANSI-approved safety goggles when performing maintenance on this tool.

TOOL USE AND CARE

1. Do not force this 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. Do not force the tool and
do not use this tool for a purpose for which it is not intended.

2. Disconnect the tool’s Power Plug from the power source before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing this tool. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the product accidentally. Always unplug the Power

Plug from its electrical outlet before performing any inspection, maintenance, or
cleaning procedures.

3. Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Electrically
powered tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

4. Maintain this tool with care. Keep this tool clean. Properly maintained tools are less
likely to malfunction and are easier to control. Do not use a damaged tool. Tag damaged
tools “Do not use” until repaired.

5. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other

condition that may affect this tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced
before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.

6. 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

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

2. When servicing a 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 the Close Quarter Drill. These carry important
information. If unreadable or missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.

2. 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.

3. Always hold the tool by its insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation
where the drill bit 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.

4. Always wear ANSI-approved safety impact eye goggles and a full face shield

when operating this product.

5. Do not reach under or behind the material being drilled

6. Make sure the workpiece is free of nails and any other foreign objects which can

damage a drill bit.

7. Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the Close Quarter Drill, and position your
body and arm to allow you to resist torque forces.

8. Do not use dull or damaged drill bits. Unsharpened or damaged drill bits cause excessive
friction and binding.

9. Use caution when drilling into existing walls or other blind areas. Check for unexposed
electrical wires and cable in the drilling path before drilling.

10. Industrial applications must follow OSHA requirements.

11. Use the right tool or attachment for the job. Do not attempt to force a small tool or
attachment to do the work of a larger industrial tool or attachment. There are certain
applications for which this product was designed. It will do the job better and more safely at
the rate for which it was intended. Do not modify this product, and do not use this product
for a purpose for which it was not intended.

12. Always turn off the Close Quarter Drill and unplug the Power Plug from its electrical

outlet before changing accessories or performing inspection, maintenance, or
cleaning procedures.

13. WARNING! People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before use.
Electromagnetic fields in close proximity to a heart pacemaker could cause
pacemaker interference or pacemaker failure. In addition, people with pace
makers should:

• Avoid operating alone.

• Do not use with Power Switch locked on.

• Properly maintain and inspect to avoid electrical shock.

• Any power cord must be properly grounded. A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)

should also be implemented as it prevents sustained electric shock.

14. 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
