SAFETY GUIDELINES - DEFINITIONS
DC50
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS
Failure to follow all instructions listed in the following pages may result in electric
shock, fire, and/or serious injury.
WORK AREA
1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas
invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite flammables.
3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power
tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control. Protect others in the
work area from debris such as chips and sparks. Provide barriers or
shields as needed.
ELECTRICAL SAFETYG
1. Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove
the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt
as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. If the tools should
electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance
path to carry electricity away from the user.
2. Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade
is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one
way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it
still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized
outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates
the need for the three wire grounded power cord and grounded power
supplysystem.
3. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators,
ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock
if your body is grounded.
4. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering
a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
5. Do not abuse the Power Cord. Never use the Power Cord to carry the
tools or pull the Plug from an outlet. Keep the Power Cord away from

4DC50
SAFETY GUIDELINES
heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged Power Cords
immediately. Damaged Power Cords increase the risk of electric shock.
6. When operating a power tool out side, use an outdoor extension cord
marked “W-A” or “W”. These extension cords are rated for outdoor use, and
reduce the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
1. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.Amoment of inattention
while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
2. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair.
Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
3. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the Power Switch is off before plugging
in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the Power Switch, or plugging
in power tools with the Power Switch on, invites accidents.
4. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the power tool on
A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the power
tool may result in personal injury.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper
footing and balance enables better control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
6. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, nonskid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate
conditions.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
1. WearANSI-approved safety impact eye goggles, hearing protection, and a dust
mask or respirator when operating this product.
2. The Housing contains a high speed Impeller that can amputate fingers, grab
loose clothing and long hair, and propel sawdust at high velocities. NEVER
operate this product without the all guards and screens in place and working
properly.
3. If using this product to help keep 3. airborne sawdust within acceptable limits,

5
DC50
SAFETY GUIDELINES
you must regularly monitor airborne sawdust and maintain the Tool to
avoid exceeding dust limits. Each application is unique, and your maintenance
schedule must be tailored to your specific use.
4. Industrial applications must followOSHA requirements.
5. Use the right tool or attachment for the right job. Do not attempt to force a
small tool or attachment to do the work of a larger industrial tool. There are
certain applications for which this product was designed. It will do the job better
and more safely at the rate for which it was intended. Do not modify this product,
and do not use this product for a purpose for which it was not intended.
6. Turn off the Tool and unplug the Power Cord Plug from its electrical outlet
before changing accessories or performing inspection, maintenance, or
cleaning procedures.
7. 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.
8.
This product contains or, when used, produces a chemical known to the State
of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
(California Health & Safety Code § 25249.5, et seq.)
9. The warnings, precautions, and instructions discussed in this manual cannot
cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. The operator must
understand that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built
into this product, but must be supplied by the operator.
10.Maintain labels and nameplates on the Tool. These carry important information.
If unreadable or missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.
WARNING
!
GROUNDING
TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK AND DEATH FROM INCORRECT SHOCK
AND DEATH FROM INCORRECT GROUNDING 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

6
SAFETY GUIDELINES
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.
GROUNDED TOOLS
TOOLS WITH THREE PRONG PIUGS
3-Prong Plug and Outlet
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. (See 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.)
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 groundingsystem and must never be attached
to an electrically “live” terminal. (See 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.)
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.)

SAFETY GUIDELINES
Extension Cords
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.
(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.)
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. (See Table A.)
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. (See
Table A.)
6. 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.
7. Protect the extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or
wet areas.
