12.  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.

13.  Industrial applications must follow OSHA guidelines.
14.  Maintain labels and nameplates on the tool.  

These carry important safety information.  
If unreadable or missing, contact 
Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.

15.  Avoid unintentional starting.   

Prepare to begin work before turning on the tool.

16.  People with pacemakers should consult their 

physician(s) before use.  Electromagnetic fields in 
close proximity to heart pacemaker could cause 
pacemaker interference or pacemaker failure.

17.  WARNING: The cord of this product contains 

lead and/or di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), 
chemicals 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.

)

18.  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 
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending 
on how often you do this type of work.  To reduce 
your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well 
ventilated area, and work with approved safety 
equipment, such as those dust masks that are 
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.  
(California Health & Safety Code § 25249.5, 

et seq.

)

19.  WARNING: This product contains di (2-ethylhexyl) 

phthalate (DEHP), a chemical known to the State

20.  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.

Vibration Safety

This tool vibrates during use.  Repeated or 
long-term exposure to vibration may cause 
temporary or permanent physical injury, 
particularly to the hands, arms and shoulders.  
To reduce the risk of vibration-related injury:
1.  Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for an 

extended period should first be examined by a 
doctor and then have regular medical check-ups 
to ensure medical problems are not being caused 
or worsened from use.  Pregnant women or 
people who have impaired blood circulation to 
the hand, past hand injuries, nervous system 
disorders, diabetes, or Raynaud’s Disease should 
not use this tool.  If you feel any medical or 
physical symptoms related to vibration (such as 
tingling, numbness, and white or blue fingers), 
seek medical advice as soon as possible.

2.  Do not smoke during use.  Nicotine reduces 

the blood supply to the hands and fingers, 
increasing the risk of vibration-related injury.

3.  Use tools with the lowest vibration when there 

is a choice between different processes.

4.  Include vibration-free periods each day of work.
5.  Grip workpiece as lightly as possible (while still 

keeping safe control of it).  Let the tool do the work.

6.  To reduce vibration, maintain the tool as 

explained in this manual.  If any abnormal 
vibration occurs, stop use immediately.

 SAVE THESE INSTRUcTIONS.
