SAFETY OPERATION MAINTENANCESETUP
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.
8. Keep handles and grasping surfaces
dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
Slippery handles and grasping surfaces
do not allow for safe handling and control
of the tool in unexpected situations.
Service
1. 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.
2. Maintain labels and nameplates on the tool.
These carry important safety information.
If unreadable or missing, contact
Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.
Safety Warnings Common for Grinding, Sanding,
Wire Brushing, Polishing, or Abrasive Cutting-off Operations
1. This power tool is intended to function
as a grinder, sander, wire brush,
polisher, or cut-off tool. Read all safety
warnings, instructions, illustrations
and specifications provided with
this power tool. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
2. Do not use accessories which are not
specifically designed and recommended
by the tool manufacturer. Just because
the accessory can be attached to your
power tool, it does not assure safe operation.
3. The RATED SPEED of the grinding
accessories must be at least equal
to the maximum speed marked on
the power tool. Grinding accessories
running faster than their RATED
SPEED can break and fly apart.
4. The outside diameter and the thickness
of your accessory must be within
the capacity rating of your power
tool. Incorrectly sized accessories
cannot be adequately controlled.
5. The arbour size of wheels, sanding
drums or any other accessory must
properly fit the spindle or collet of
the power tool. Accessories that do
not match the mounting hardware of the
power tool will run out of balance, vibrate
excessively and may cause loss of control.
6. Mandrel MOUNTED WHEELS, sanding
drums, cutters or other accessories
must be fully inserted into the collet or
chuck. If the mandrel is insufficiently held
and/or the overhang of the wheel is too
long, the MOUNTED WHEEL may become
loose and be ejected at high velocity.
7. Do not use a damaged accessory. Before
each use inspect the accessory such as
abrasive wheels for chips and cracks,
sanding drum for cracks, tear or excess
wear, wire brush for loose or cracked
wires. If power tool or accessory is
dropped, inspect for damage or install an
undamaged accessory. After inspecting
and installing an accessory, position
yourself and bystanders away from the
plane of the rotating accessory and run
the power tool at maximum no-load speed
for one minute. Damaged accessories will
normally break apart during this test time.
