General Safety Rules
WARNING! Read all instructions
Failure to follow all instructions
listed below may result in
electric shock, re, and/or
serious injury. The term “power
tool” in all of the warnings listed
below refers to your line-operated
(corded) power tool or batteryoperated (cordless) power tool.
SAVE THESE
INSTRUCTIONS
Work area safety1.
Keep work area clean and well a.
lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite
accidents.
Do not operate power tools in b.
explosive atmospheres, such as in
the presence of ammable liquids,
gases or dust. Power tools create
sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
Keep children and bystanders c.
away while operating power tools.
Electrical safety2.
Power tool plugs must match the a.
outlet. Never modify the plug in
any way. Do not use any adapter
plugs with grounded power tools.
Unmodied plugs and matching

outlets will reduce risk of electric
shock.
Avoid body contact with grounded b.
surfaces such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators. There is
an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain c.
or wet conditions. Water entering
a power tool will increase the risk
of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use d.
the cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the power tool. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Damaged
or entangled cords increase the
risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool e.
outdoors, use an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use. Use of
a cord suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat,
or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
Avoid accidental starting. Ensure c.
the switch is in the off-position
before plugging in. Carrying power
tools with your nger on the switch
or plugging in power tools that have
the switch on invites accidents.
Do not overreach. Keep proper d.
footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose e.
clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry
or long hair can be caught in moving
parts.
Ensure this Dust Collector is f.
connected and properly used. Use
of this Dust Collector can reduce
dust-related hazards.

Stay alert, watch what you are a.
doing and use common sense
when operating a power tool. Do

body contact with grounded surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, ranges,
and cabinet enclosures when
testing voltages. Do not tamper with

Power tool use and care4.
Do not force the power tool. Use a.
the correct power tool for your
application. The correct power tool
will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
Do not use the power tool if the b.
switch does not turn it on and
off. Any power tool that cannot
be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
Page 4SKU 97869 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353.
Disconnect the plug from the c.
power source and/or the battery
pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing
power tools. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of d.
the reach of children and do not
allow persons unfamiliar with the
power tool or these instructions
to operate the power tool. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
Maintain power tools. Check for e.
misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the
power tool’s operation. If damaged,
have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
Use the right Dust Collector for f.
the job. Do not attempt to force a
small Dust Collector to do the work
of a larger industrial model. There
are certain applications for which this
Dust Collector was designed. Do not
modify this Dust Collector and do not
use this Dust Collector for a purpose
for which it was not intended, taking
into account the working conditions
and the work to be performed. Use
of the power tool for operations
different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
Service5.
Have your power tool serviced by a.
a qualied repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
Specic Safety Rules
Maintain labels and nameplates on 1.
the tool. These carry important safety
information. If unreadable or missing,
contact Harbor Freight Tools for a
replacement.
Avoid unintentional starting. Ensure 2.
the switch is in the “OFF” position
before plugging the tool in. Prepare
to begin work before turning on the
tool.
Do not lay the hose-end down until 3.
it has come to a complete stop. The
vacuum may pull in something you
need.
Do not leave the tool unattended 4.
when it is plugged into an electrical
outlet. Turn off the tool, and unplug
it from its electrical outlet before
leaving.
This product is not a toy. Keep it out 5.
of reach of children.
People with pacemakers should 6.
consult their physician(s) before
use. Electromagnetic elds in close
proximity to heart pacemaker could
cause pacemaker interference or
pacemaker failure. In addition,
people with pacemakers should:
• Avoid operating alone.
• Properly maintain and inspect to
avoid electrical shock.
• Any power cord must be properly
grounded. Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI) should also be
implemented – it prevents sustained
electrical shock.
