IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
General Warnings
1. Work Area Safety
a. Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b. Keep children and bystanders away
while operating a power tool. Distractions
can cause you to lose control.
2. Personal Safety
a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
use common sense when using tool. Do
not use tool while you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating tool
may result in serious personal injury.
b. Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
d. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry
or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
e. Do not let familiarity gained from frequent
use of tools allow you to become
complacent and ignore tool safety
principles. A careless action can cause
severe injury within a fraction of a second.
f. Only use safety equipment that has been
approved by an appropriate standards agency.
Unapproved safety equipment may not provide
adequate protection. Eye protection must be
ANSI-approved and breathing protection
must be NIOSH-approved for the
specific hazards in the work area.
g. Use as intended only.
h. Inspect before every use; do not use
if parts are loose or damaged.
i. Do not exceed listed weight capacity.
Be aware of dynamic loading!
Sudden load movement may briefly create
excess load causing product failure.
j. This product is not a toy.
Keep it out of reach of children.
k. 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.
3. Service
a. 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.
b. Maintain product labels and nameplates.
These carry important safety information.
If unreadable or missing, contact
Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.
4. Specific Safety Warnings
a. For off-road use only.
b. Hitch connections need to be capable
of supporting the weight of the Hitch
and attached implement, plus load.
