your body is grounded.
ate conditions will reduce personal
injuries.
c.Prevent unintentional starting.
ensure the switch is in the off-po-
sition before connecting to power
source and/or battery pack, pick-
ing up or carrying the tool. Carry-
ing power tools with your finger on
the switch or energizing power tools
that have the switch on invites acci-
dents.
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 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.
d.remove any adjusting key or
wrench before turning the power
tool on. A wrench or a key left at-
tached to a rotating part of the power
tool may result in personal injury.
e.When operating a power tool out-
doors, use an extension cord suit-
able for outdoor use. Use of a cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces the
risk of electric shock.
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.
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.
g.if devices are provided for the con-
nection of dust extraction and col-
lection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use
of these devices can reduce dust-re-
lated hazards.
3. Personal safety
a.stay alert, watch what you are do-
ing 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.
h.only use safety equipment that
has been approved by an appropri-
ate standards agency. Unapproved
safety equipment may not provide
adequate protection. Eye protection
must be ANSI-approved and breath-
ing protection must be NIOSH-ap-
proved for the specific hazards in the
work area.
b.use personal protective equip-
ment. always wear eye protection.
Safety equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropri-

6. service
a.do not force the power tool. use
the correct power tool for your ap-
plication. The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate
for which it was designed.
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.
b.do not use the power tool if the
switch does not turn it on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be con-
trolled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
Parts Washer safety Warnings
1. Maintain labels and nameplates on
the tool. These carry important safety
information. If unreadable or miss-
ing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a
replacement.
c.disconnect the plug from the
power source and/or the battery
pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments, chang-
ing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety mea-
sures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.
2. Avoid unintentional starting. Prepare
to begin work before turning on the
tool.
3. 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 leav-
ing.
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 oper-
ate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
4. This product is not a toy. Keep it out
of reach of children.
5. Some dust created by cleaning, pow-
er sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling,
and other construction activities, con-
tains chemicals known [to the State
of California] to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals
are:
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 dam-
aged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained power
tools.
• Lead from lead-based paints
• Crystalline silica from bricks and ce-
ment or other masonry products
• Arsenic and chromium from chemi-
cally treated lumber
Your risk from these exposures var-
ies, 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
f. use the power tool and acces-
sories 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.

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 service facility
before use. if the plug will not
fit the outlet, have a proper
outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
8. DO NOT use any highly flammable,
volatile or combustible solvents such
as gasoline, kerosine, etc. in this tool.
9. Parts being cleaned may deposit oil,
grease, gasoline or other combustible
contaminants in the tool. Check for
volatile fumes, and use this tool only
in a well-ventilated area.
10. WARNING: Chlorinated solvents
such as 1-1-1 Trichloroethane and
Methylene Chloride can chemically
react with aluminum and may ex-
plode. Many parts contain aluminum.
Do not clean aluminum parts with
these solvents.

Grounded tools: tools with three
Prong Plugs
double insulated tools: tools
with two Prong Plugs
1. Tools marked “Double Insulated” do
not require grounding. They have
a special double insulation system
which satisfies OSHA requirements
and complies with the applicable
standards of Underwriters Labora-
tories, Inc., the Canadian Standard
Association, and the National Electri-
cal Code. (see outlets for 2-Prong
Plug.)
1. Tools marked with “Grounding Re-
quired” have a three wire cord and
three prong grounding plug. The
plug must be connected to a properly
grounded outlet. If the tool should
electrically malfunction or break
down, grounding provides a low
resistance path to carry electricity
away from the user, reducing the risk
of electric shock. (see 3-Prong Plug
and outlet.)
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.)
2. The grounding prong in the plug is
connected through the green wire in-
side the cord to the grounding system
in the tool. The green wire in the cord
must be the only wire connected to
the tool’s grounding system and must
never be attached to an electrically
“live” terminal. (see 3-Prong Plug
and outlet.)
extension cords
1. Grounded tools require a three wire
extension cord. Double Insulated
tools can use either a two or three
wire extension cord.
3. The tool must be plugged into an
appropriate outlet, properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all
codes and ordinances. The plug and
outlet should look like those in the
preceding illustration. (see 3-Prong
Plug and outlet.)
2. As the distance from the supply outlet
increases, you must use a heavier
gauge extension cord. Using exten-
sion cords with inadequately sized
wire causes a serious drop in voltage,
resulting in loss of power and pos-
sible tool damage.
(see table a.)

3. 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.)
