Important Safety Information

In this manual, on the labeling, and all other information provided with this product:

This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you to potential personal injury hazards. Obey all safety messages that follow this

symbol to avoid possible injury or death.

DANGER indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.

WARNING indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

1. Work area safety

a. Keep work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

b. Do not operate the Scale in explosive

atmospheres, such as in the presence

of ammable liquids, gases or dust.

Battery operated equipment create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

2. Electrical safety

a. The AC/DC Adapter plug must match the

outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any additional adapter plugs with the Scale. Unmodied plugs and matching

outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

b. 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.

c. Do not expose the Scale to rain or wet

conditions. Water entering the Scale will

increase the risk of electric shock.

d. Do not abuse the AC/DC Adapter Cord.

Never use the Cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the AC/DC Adapter. Keep the Cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled

Cords increase the risk of electric shock.

e. When operating the Scale outdoors, use

an extension cord suitable for outdoor

Page 2SKU 98059 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353.

use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor

use reduces the risk of electric shock.

f. If operating the Scale in a damp location

is unavoidable, use a Ground Fault Circuit

Interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of

a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.

3. Personal safety

a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use

common sense when operating the Scale. Do

not use the Scale while you are tired or under

the inuence of drugs, alcohol or medication.

A moment of inattention while operating the

Scale may result in serious personal injury.

b. Use safety equipment. Always wear

eye protection. Safety equipment

such as ANSI-approved safety impact

goggles will reduce personal injuries.

c. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the

Power Switch (11) is in the off-position before

connecting to power source and/or battery

pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying

battery operated equipment with your nger on

the Power Switch or energizing equipment that

have the Power Switch on invites accidents.

d. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing

and balance at all times. This enables better

control of the Scale in unexpected situations.

4. Scale use and care

a. Do not force the Scale. Use the correct

Scale for your application. The correct

Scale will do the job better and safer at

the rate for which it was designed.

b. Do not use the Scale if the Power Switch (11)

does not turn it on and off. Any equipment

that cannot be controlled with the Power

Switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

c. Disconnect the AC/DC Adapter Cord

before making any adjustments, changing

accessories, or storing the Scale. Such

preventive safety measures reduce the risk

of starting the equipment accidentally.

d. Store idle battery powered equipment

out of the reach of children and do not

allow persons unfamiliar with the Scale

or these instructions to operate the

equipment. Battery powered equipment are

dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

e. Maintain the Scale. Check for misalignment or

binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and

any other condition that may affect the Scale’s

operation. If damaged, have the Scale repaired

before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly

maintained battery operated power equipment.

f. Use the Scale in accordance with these

instructions, taking into account the working

conditions and the work to be performed. Use

of the Scale for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

5. Battery tool use and care

a. Recharge only with the AC/DC Adapter (25)

specied by the manufacturer. An Adapter that is suitable for one type of Battery may create a

risk of re when used with another Battery Pack.

b. Use this Scale only with specically

designated Batteries. Use of any other

Battery may create a risk of injury and re.

c. When the Battery (21) is not in use, keep it

away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the Battery

Terminals together may cause burns or a re.

d. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be

ejected from the Battery (21). If contact with liquid from the battery accidentally occurs,

ush with water. If liquid contacts eyes,

additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the Battery may cause irritation or burns.

6. Service

a. Have your Scale serviced by a qualied

repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that

the safety of the equipment is maintained.

Specic Safety Warnings

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

2. This Scale contains a sealed lead Battery. Do not

dispose of an old Battery in re to avoid explosion

and possible personal injury. Recycle old batteries according to local solid waste authority procedures.

3. Do not exceed the Scale’s maximum weight capacity of 33 pounds.

4. Avoid unintentional starting. Prepare to begin work before turning on the Scale.

5. Do not leave the Scale unattended when it’s AC/ DC Adapter is plugged into an electrical outlet. Turn off the equipment, and unplug the AC/DC Adapter from its electrical outlet before leaving.

6. The AC/DC Adapter gets hot during

use. The Adapter’s heat can build up

to unsafe levels and create a re

hazard if it does not receive adequate ventilation, due to an electrical fault,

or if it is used in a hot environment.

Do not place the Adapter on a ammable surface.

Especially avoid placing the Adapter on carpets

and rugs; they are not only ammable, but they

Page 3SKU 98059 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353.

also obstruct air ow under the Adapter. Place

the Adapter on a stable, solid, nonammable

surface (such as a stable metal workbench or

concrete oor) at least 1 foot away from all ammable objects, such as drapes or walls. Keep a re extinguisher and a smoke detector in the

area. Frequently monitor the Adapter and Battery during use.

7. This product is not a toy. Keep it out of reach of children.

8. People with pacemakers should 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.

Grounding

TO PREVENT ELECTRIC

SHOCK AND DEATH FROM INCORRECT GROUNDING

WIRE CONNECTION:

Check with a qualied electrician if you

are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the Adapter Cord Plug provided with the tool. Never remove the grounding prong from the Plug. Do not use the Adapter if the Cord or Plug is damaged. If damaged, have it repaired by a service facility before

use. If the Plug will not t the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualied

electrician.

Double Insulated Tools: Tools with Two Prong Plugs

9. The warnings, precautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction 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.

SAVE THESE

INSTRUCTIONS.

Outlets for 2-Prong Plug

Tools marked “Double Insulated” do not require grounding. They have a special double insulation

system which satises OSHA requirements

and complies with the applicable standards of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., the Canadian Standard Association, and the National Electrical Code.

(See Outlets for 2-Prong Plug.)

2. Double insulated tools may be used in either of the 120 volt outlets shown in the preceding illustration.

(See Outlets for 2-Prong Plug.)

Extension Cords

1. Grounded tools require a three wire extension cord. Double Insulated tools can use either a two or three wire extension cord.

2. As the distance from the supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge extension cord. Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool damage. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord. For example, a 14 gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16 gauge cord. (See Table A.)
