Have your power tool serviced by aqualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety
of
the powertool is maintained.
Power tool use and care
1. Do not force the power tool. Use the
correct power tool for your application.
The correctpowertool will do the job better
and
safer
at
the rate for which it was designed.
2. Do not use the power tool ifthe
switch does not turn it on and off.
Any
powertool that cannot be controlled with
the switch is dangerous and mustbe repaired.
3. Disconnect the plug from the power source
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safetymeasures reduce the
risk
of
starting the powertool 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. Powertools are
dangerous in the hands
of
untrained users.
Service
Rotary Hammer Safety Warnings
1. Wear ear protectors with rotary hammers.
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" andshock 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 areplacement.
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
acomplete stop. Moving parts can grab the
surface and pull the tool out
of
your control.
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. Manyaccidents
are caused
by
poorlymaintained powertools.
6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bindand are easierto 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
powertool for operations different from those
intended could result in ahazardous situation.
9.
When using ahandheld power tool,
maintain afirm 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 atoy.
Keep it out
of
reach
of
children.
12. 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. In
addition, people with pacemakers should:
•Avoid operating alone.
•Do not use with power switch locked on.
•Properly maintain and inspect to avoid
electrical shock.
•Any power cord must be properly
grounded. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
(GFCI) should also be
implemented-
it prevents sustained electrical shock.
13. 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.
