General Tool Safety Warnings

WARNING Read all safety

warnings and instructions.

Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

1. Work area safety

a. Keep work area clean and well

lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

b. Do not operate tools in explosive

atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Tools create sparks

which may ignite the dust or fumes.

c. Keep children and bystanders

away while operating a tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2. Electrical safety

a. Tool plugs must match the outlet.

Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with

Item 62133 For technical questions, please call 1-888-866-5797. Page 2

grounded tools. Unmodified 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 tools to rain or wet

conditions. Water entering a tool

will increase the risk of electric shock.

This enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.

d. Only use safety equipment

that has been approved by an appropriate standards agency.

Unapproved safety equipment may not provide adequate protection. Eye

protection must be ANSI-approved and breathing protection must be NIOSH-approved for the specific hazards in the work area.

d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use

the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or

entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

e. If operating a tool 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 a tool. Do not use a tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention

while operating tools may result in serious personal injury.

b. Use personal protective

equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such

as fresh air mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c. Do not overreach. Keep proper

footing and balance at all times.

4. Tool use and care

a. Do not force the tool. Use the

correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

b. Disconnect the plug from the

power source and allow to cool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing this tool. Such preventive safety

measures reduce the risk of damage or injury.

c. Store idle tools out of the reach of

children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with this tool or these instructions to operate the tool.

Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

d. Maintain tools. Check for

misalignment or breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool repaired before use. Many accidents are

caused by poorly maintained tools.

5. Service

a. Have your tool serviced by a

qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This

will ensure that the safety of the tool is maintained.

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.

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.

2. Place securely on Iron Holder (6) when not in use.

3. Keep away from flammable objects.

4. Do not overheat adhesive.

5. When using a handheld tool, maintain a firm, controlling grip on the tool.

6. Do not leave the tool unattended when it is plugged into an electrical outlet. Unplug the tool from its electrical outlet and allow to cool down before leaving.

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

8. Any power cord must be properly grounded. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) should also be implemented – it prevents sustained electrical shock.

9. WARNING: The cord of this product contains lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer, and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling. (California Health & Safety Code § 25249.5, et seq.)

GROUNDING

TO PREVENT

ELECTRIC SHOCK AND DEATH FROM INCORRECT GROUNDING WIRE CONNECTION: 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 a qualified service technician before use. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
