Contact with a ″live″ wire will make exposed metal
parts of the tool ″live″ and shock the operator.
2. Maintain labels and nameplates on the tool.
These carry important safety information.
If unreadable or missing, contact
Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.
3. Avoid unintentional starting.
Prepare to begin work before turning on the tool.
4. 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.
5. When using a handheld power tool,
maintain a firm grip on the tool with both
hands to resist starting torque.
6. 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.
7. This product is not a toy.
Keep it out of reach of children.
8. 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 Trigger locked on.
• Properly maintain and inspect to avoid
electrical shock.
• Properly ground power cord. Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI) should also be implemented
– it prevents sustained electrical shock.
9. 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.

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 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. Wear suitable gloves to reduce the
vibration effects on the user.
4. Use tools with the lowest vibration
when there is a choice.
5. Include vibration-free periods each day of work.
6. Grip tool as lightly as possible (while still keeping
safe control of it). Let the tool do the work.
7. To reduce vibration, maintain the tool as
explained in this manual. If any abnormal
vibration occurs, stop use immediately.

1. Tools marked with “Grounding Required” 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. ]?**%`KS(&83%S7'3%,89%R'$7*$1^
2. The grounding prong in the plug is connected
through the green wire inside 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. ]?**%`KS(&83%S7'3%,89%R'$7*$1^
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.

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 Laboratories, Inc.,
the Canadian Standard Association,
and the National Electrical Code.
2. Double insulated tools may be used in either of the
120 volt outlets shown in the preceding illustration.

1. Grounded tools require a three
wire extension cord. Double Insulated tools can
use either a two or three wire extension cord.
2. As the distance from the supply outlet increases,
you must use a heavier gauge extension cord.
Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire
causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss
of power and possible tool damage. ]?**%A,+7*%@1^
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. ]?**%A,+7*%@1^
4. When using more than one extension cord
to make up the total length, make sure
each cord contains at least the minimum
wire size required. ]?**%A,+7*%@1^
5. If you are using one extension cord for more
than one tool, add the nameplate%amperes
and use the sum to determine the required
minimum cord size. ]?**%A,+7*%@1^
6. If you are using an extension cord outdoors, make
sure it is marked with the suffix “W-A” (“W” in
Canada) to indicate it is acceptable for outdoor use.
7. Make sure the extension cord is properly wired
and in good electrical condition. Always replace
a damaged extension cord or have it repaired
by a qualified electrician before using it.
8. Protect the extension cords from sharp objects,
excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.

1. Designate a work area that is clean and well-lit.
The work area must not allow access by children
or pets to prevent distraction and injury.
2. Route the power cord along a safe route
to reach the work area without creating a
tripping hazard or exposing the power cord to
possible damage. The power cord must
reach the work area with enough extra length
to allow free movement while working.
3. Secure loose workpieces using a vise or clamps
(not included) to prevent movement while working.
4. There must not be hazardous objects, such
as utility lines or foreign objects, nearby
that will present a hazard while working.
5. You must use personal safety equipment including,
but not limited to, ANSI-approved eye and hearing
protection, as well as heavy-duty work gloves.

2. Press the "O" on the Power Switch to place
it in the off-position, then plug in the tool.
3. To start, grip the tool firmly with both hands
and press the "I" on the Power Switch. Press
the "O" on the Power Switch to stop the tool.
4. Wait until the tool has reached full speed,

• cracked or broken parts
• any other condition that may
affect its safe operation.
2. @<A6;%F?6I empty the Dust Box and wipe
external surfaces of the tool with clean cloth.

3. Internal damage or wear.
(Carbon brushes or
switch, for example.)
1. Check that cord is plugged in.
2. Check power at outlet. If outlet is unpowered,
turn off tool and check circuit breaker.
If breaker is tripped, make sure circuit is right
capacity for tool and circuit has no other loads.
3. Have technician service tool.
Tool operates slowly. 1. Excess pressure applied
to workpiece.
2. Power being reduced by long or
small diameter extension cord.
1. Decrease pressure, allow tool to do the work.
2. Eliminate use of extension cord.
If an extension cord is needed, use one with
the proper diameter for its length and load.
See Extension Cords in GROUNDING section.
Performance
decreases over time.
Carbon brushes worn or damaged. Have qualified technician replace brushes.
Excessive noise
or rattling.
Internal damage or wear.
(Carbon brushes or
bearings, for example.)
Have technician service tool.
Overheating. 1. Forcing tool to work too fast.
2. Blocked motor housing vents.
3. Motor being strained by long or
small diameter extension cord.
1. Allow tool to work at its own rate.
2. Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles
and NIOSH-approved dust mask/
respirator while blowing dust out of
motor using compressed air.
3. Eliminate use of extension cord.
If an extension cord is needed, use one with
the proper diameter for its length and load.
See Extension Cords in GROUNDING section.
Tool does not
grind, sand or
brush effectively.
Accessory damaged, worn or
