2. Electrical safety
moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
a.Power tool Plugs must match the
outlet. Never modify the Plug in
any way. do not use any adapter
plugs with grounded power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric
shock.
b.Use personal protective
equipment. always wear aNSI-
approved safety goggles. Safety
equipment such as NIOSH-approved
dust mask/respirator, NIOSH-
approved hearing protection, and
heavy duty work gloves will reduce
personal injuries.
b.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.
c.Prevent unintentional starting.
Ensure the Power Switch is in the
off-position before connecting to
the power source or picking up or
carrying the tool. Carrying power
tools with your finger on the Power
Switch invites accidents.
c.do not expose power tools to rain
or wet conditions. Water entering
a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
d.do not abuse the Power Cord.
Never use the Cord for carrying,
pulling or unplugging the power
tool. Keep Cord away from
d.Remove any adjusting key or
wrench before turning the power
tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to an oscillating part of the
power tool may result in personal
injury.
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving
parts. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
e.do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
e.When operating a power tool
outdoors, use an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use. Use of a
cord suitable for outdoor use reduces
the risk of electric shock.
f. 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.
f. If operating a power tool in a damp
location is unavoidable, use a
ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
(gFCI) protected supply. Use of
a GFCI reduces the risk of electric
shock.
4. Power tool use and care
3. Personal safety
a.do not force the power tool. Use
the correct power tool for your
application. The correct power tool
will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
a.Stay alert, watch what you are
doing and use common sense
when operating a power tool. do
not use a power tool while you
are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A

any adjustments, changing
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.
accessories, or storing the power
tool. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting
the power tool accidentally.
d.Store idle power tools out of
the reach of children and do not
allow persons unfamiliar with the
power tool or these instructions
to operate the power tool. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
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.
e.Maintain power tools. Check
for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may
affect the power tool’s operation.
If damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
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.
f. Keep cutting accessories sharp
and clean. Properly maintained
cutting accessories with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
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.
g.Use the power tool and its
accessories in accordance with
these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions
and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations
different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
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.
5. Service

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.
Vibration Safety
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:
This power 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 power 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,
• Lead from lead-based paints
• Crystalline silica from bricks and
cement or other masonry products
• 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.)
nervous system disorders, diabetes,
or Raynaud’s Disease should not
use this tool. If you feel any medical
or physical symptoms related to
vibration (such as tingling, numbness,
and white or blue fingers), seek
medical advice as soon as possible.
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.)
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 power tools with the lowest
vibration when there is a choice
between different processes.

6. Grip the power tool as lightly as
possible (while still keeping safe
control of it). Let the tool do the work.
7. To reduce vibration, maintain the
power tool as explained in this
manual. If any abnormal vibration
occurs, stop use immediately.
SaVE ThESE
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.

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 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.
2. Double insulated tools may be used
in either of the 120 volt outlets shown
in the preceding illustration.
(See Outlets for 2-Prong Plug.)
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, next page.)

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.)
