SAFETYOPERATIONMAINTENANCE SETUP

2. Electrical safety

a. Power tool Plugs must match the outlet.

Never modify the Plug in any way. Do

not use any adapter plugs with grounded

power 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 power tools to rain or wet

conditions. Water entering a power tool

will increase the risk of electric shock.

d. Do not abuse the Power Cord. Never

use 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.

e. When operating a power tool outdoors,

use an extension cord suitable for outdoor

use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor

use reduces the risk of electric shock.

f. If operating a power 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

power tool. Do not use a power tool while

you are tired or under the influence of

drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment

of inattention while operating power tools

may result in serious personal injury.

b. Use personal protective equipment. Always

wear eye protection. Safety equipment such

as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard

hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate

conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the

switch is in the off-position before connecting

to power source and/or battery pack, picking

up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools

with your finger on the switch or energizing power

tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench

before turning the power tool on. A wrench

or a key left attached to a moving part of the

power tool may result in personal injury.

e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and

balance at all times. This enables better control

of the power tool in unexpected situations.

f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose

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.

4. Power tool use and care

a. Do not force the power tool. Use 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.

b. Do not use the power tool if the switch

does not turn it on and off. Any power

tool that cannot be controlled with the switch

is dangerous and must be repaired.

c. Disconnect the plug from the 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.

d. Store idle power tools out of 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.

e. Maintain power tools. Check for

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.

f. Keep cutting accessories sharp and

clean. Properly maintained cutting tools

with sharp cutting edges are less likely

to bind and are easier to control.

g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits

etc. in accordance with these instructions,

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.

5. Service

a. Have your power tool serviced by a

qualified repair person using only identical

replacement parts. This will ensure that

the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Multi-Function Tool Warnings

1. Maintain labels and nameplates on the

power tool. These carry important safety

information. If unreadable or missing, contact

Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.

2. Avoid accidental injury. Keep hands and fingers

safely away from the oscillating Angled Scraper,

Blade and Sanding Pad when operating the Tool.
