GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING!
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WORK AREA
Keep the watering area clean, dry, and well lit. Cluttered, wet, and dark areas
invite accidents.
Do not operate this product in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence
of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Electrically powered products can create
sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Grounded products 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 product should electrically malfunction or break down,
grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user.
Double insulated products 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 supply system.
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.
Do not expose the AC/DC Adapter of this product to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering the Adapter will increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the Power Cord. Never use the Power Cord to carry this prod-
uct or pull the Plug from an outlet. Keep the Power Cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged Power Cords immediately.
Damaged Power Cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outside, 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
Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operat-
ing this product. Do not use this product while tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating electrically
powered products may result in serious personal injury.
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.
Use safety equipment. Wear ANSI approved safety eye goggles when assem-
bling this product.
PRODUCT USE AND CARE
Do not force this product. Use the correct product for your application. The
correct product will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
Do not force this product and do not use this product for a purpose for which it is
not intended.

Do not use if Power Switch of the Timer does not turn it on or off. Any product
that cannot be controlled with Power Switch is dangerous and must be replaced.
Disconnect the Power Cord Plug from the power source before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally. Always unplug this
prouduct from its electrical outlet before performing any inspection, mainte-
nance, or cleaning procedures.
Store idle electrically powered products out of reach of children and other un-
trained persons. Such products are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain this product with care. Keep this product clean. Properly maintained
products are less likely to malfunction and are easier to control. Do not use dam-
aged products. Tag damaged products “Do not use” until repaired.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and
any other condition that may affect this product’s operation. If damaged,
have the product serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained products.
Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your
model. Accessories that may be suitable for one product may become hazardous
when used on another product.
SERVICE
Product service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service
or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
When servicing a product, use only identical replacement parts. Follow
instructions in the “Inspection, Maintenance, And Cleaning” section of this
manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions
may create a risk of electric shock or injury.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
Maintain labels and nameplates on this product. These carry important informa-
tion. If unreadable or missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.
Maintain a safe environment. Make sure there is adequate surrounding space.
Do not use this product in a damp or wet location.
The AC/DC Adapter must only be plugged into a 120 volt, grounded, electrical
outlet INDOORS. Keep the Adapter dry at all times.
Keep product out of reach of children and in a location that will not cause a
tripping hazard.

People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before use. Elec-
tromagnetic fields in close proximity to a heart pacemaker could cause pacemaker
interference or pacemaker failure.
GROUNDING
WARNING!
Improperly connecting the grounding wire can result in the risk of electric shock.
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 this prod-
uct. Never remove the grounding prong from the plug. Do not use this product
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.
GROUNDED PRODUCTS: PRODUCTS WITH THREE PRONG PLUGS
Products 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.)
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. (See 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.)
Your product 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 following illustration. (See 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.)

DOUBLE INSULATED PRODUCTS:
PRODUCTS WITH TWO PRONG PLUGS
Products 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. (See Outlets for 2-Prong Plug.)
Double insulated products may be used in either of the 120 volt outlets shown in
the preceding illustration. (See Outlets for 2-Prong Plug.)
EXTENSION CORDS
Grounded products require a three wire extension cord. Double Insulated tools
can use either a two or three wire extension cord.
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 seri-
ous drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible product damage.
(See Table A.)
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.)
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.)
If you are using one extension cord for more than one product, add the nameplate
amperes and use the sum to determine the required minimum cord size.
(See Table A.)
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.
Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition.
Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified electri-
cian before using it.
Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet
areas.
