SPECIFIC SAFETY WARNINGS
1. Maintain labels and nameplates on the power tool. These carry important safety
information. If unreadable or missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a
replacement.
2. CAUTION: Avoid accidental injury. Keep hands and fingers safely away from
the oscillating Angled Scraper (4), Blades (501, 503), and Sanding Pad (502)
when operating the Tool.
3. Avoid unintentional starting. Prepare to begin work before turning on the power
tool.
4. Do not lay the power 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 power 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:
a. Avoid operating alone.
b. Do not use with power switch locked on.
c. Properly maintain and inspect to avoid electrical shock.
d. Any power cord must be properly grounded. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
(GFCI) should also be implemented – it prevents sustained electrical shock.
9. Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities, contains chemicals known [to the State of California] to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
a. Lead from lead-based paints
b. Crystalline silica from bricks and cement or other masonry products
c. Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type
of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles. (California Health & Safety
Code § 25249.5, et seq.)
10. Handling the Power Cord on this product will expose you to lead, a chemical
known to the State of California to cause cancer, and birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling. (California Health & Safety Code
§ 25249.5, et seq.)
11. 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.
