power tool use and care

1. 

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.

2. 

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.

3. 

Disconnect the plug from the power source 

before making any adjustments, changing 

accessories, or storing power tools.

Such preventive safety measures reduce the 

risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

4. 

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.

5. 

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.

6. 

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.  

Properly maintained cutting tools with 

sharp cutting edges are less likely to 

bind and are easier to control.

7. 

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.

Service

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.

Drill and Impact Drill Safety Warnings

1. 

Wear ear protectors with impact drills. 

Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.

2. 

Use auxiliary handles supplied with the 

tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.

3. 

Hold power tools by insulated gripping 

surfaces when performing an operation 

where the cutting tool may contact hidden 

wiring or its own cord. Contact with a 

″live″ wire will make exposed metal parts 

of the tool ″live″ and shock the operator.

4.  Let bit cool before touching, changing 

or adjusting it.  Bits heat up dramatically 

while in use, and can burn you.

5.  If the drill bit jams, release the 

trigger immediately; drill torque 

can cause injury or break bit.

6.  Maintain labels and nameplates on the tool.  

These carry important safety information.  

If unreadable or missing, contact 

Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.

7.  Avoid unintentional starting.  Prepare to 

begin work before turning on the tool.

8.  Do not lay the tool down until it has come to 

a complete stop.  Moving parts can grab the 

surface and pull the tool out of your control.

9.  When using a handheld power tool, 

maintain a firm grip on the tool with 

both hands to resist starting torque.

10. Do not leave the tool unattended when 

it is plugged into an electrical outlet.  

Turn off the tool, and unplug it from 

its electrical outlet before leaving.

11. This product is not a toy.  

Keep it out of reach of children.
