Safety
TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK AND DEATH FROM INCORRECT GROUNDING WIRE
CONNECTION
READ AND FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS:
110-120 VAC Grounded Tools: Tools with Three Prong Plugs
1. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.
This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding
plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

2. Do not modify the plug provided – if it will
not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
3. Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
The conductor with insulation having an outer
surface that is green with or without yellow
stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If
repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug
is necessary, do not connect the equipmentgrounding conductor to a live terminal.
Operation
4. Check with a qualified electrician or service
personnel if the grounding instructions are
not completely understood, or if in doubt as
to whether the tool is properly grounded.
5. Use only 3-wire extension cords that
have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole
receptacles that accept the tool’s plug.
6. Repair or replace damaged or
worn cord immediately.

Cut‑Off Saw (Grinder) Safety Warnings
1. Wear eye protection.
19. Industrial applications must follow OSHA guidelines.
2. Use grinding wheel suitable for
speed of Cut‑Off Saw.
20. 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 moment of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal injury.
5. Do not overtighten Arbor Bolt.
6. Use only flanges furnished with the Cut‑Off Saw.
7. Frequently clean grinding dust
from beneath Cut‑Off Saw.
8. Wear a full face shield over ANSI‑approved
safety goggles during use.
9. Do not grind with side of wheel unless wheel is
specifically designed for that type of grinding.
10. DO NOT OPERATE WITH ANY GUARD
DISABLED, DAMAGED, OR REMOVED. Moving
guards must move freely and close instantly.
11. The Swing Guard should be retracted manually
only for special cuts such as “Pocket Cuts” and
“Compound Cuts.” Raise the Swing Guard only
enough to begin the cut. As soon as the cut‑off
wheel enters the material, the Swing Guard must
be released. For all other sawing, the Swing Guard
should be allowed to operate automatically.
12. The Saw is not to be used for any cutting in
the locked down position. The Saw should be
locked down only for carrying and storage.
13. Only use cut‑off wheels with a 14″ (355mm)
diameter, 1″ arbor hole, and rated at a
minimum of 3,500 RPM. Cut‑off wheels that
do not match the mounting hardware of the
Saw or that are rated at less than the Saw’s
maximum RPM may fly off the Saw or may
run eccentrically, causing loss of control.
14. Do not use the cut‑off wheel (sold separately)
to cut aluminum, copper, brass, or other
non‑ferrous metals. The cut‑off wheel is
designed to cut only ferrous (iron containing)
metals such as steel alloys and cast iron.
If using other cut‑off wheels, only use them on
materials that the manufacturer recommends.
15. The use of accessories or attachments not
recommended by the manufacturer may
result in a risk of injury to persons.
16. When servicing use only identical replacement parts.
17. 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.
Item 61481
21. Maintain labels and nameplates on the tool.
These carry important safety information.
If unreadable or missing, contact
Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.
22. Avoid unintentional starting.
Prepare to begin work before turning on the tool.
23. 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.
24. WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities, contains chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer and birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
• 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.)
25. WARNING: The cord of this product contains
lead and/or di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP),
chemicals 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.)

Vibration Safety
Safety
This 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 tools regularly or for an
extended period should first be examined by a
doctor and then have regular medical checkups 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, 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.
2. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces
the blood supply to the hands and fingers,
increasing the risk of vibration-related injury.
3. Use tools with the lowest vibration when there
is a choice between different processes.
4. Include vibration-free periods each day of work.
5. Grip tool as lightly as possible (while still keeping
safe control of it). Let the tool do the work.
6. To reduce vibration, maintain the tool as
explained in this manual. If any abnormal
vibration occurs, stop use immediately.

Limited 90 Day Warranty
Harbor Freight Tools Co. makes every effort to assure that its products meet high quality and durability standards,
and warrants to the original purchaser that this product is free from defects in materials and workmanship for the
period of 90 days from the date of purchase. This warranty does not apply to damage due directly or indirectly,
to misuse, abuse, negligence or accidents, repairs or alterations outside our facilities, criminal activity, improper
installation, normal wear and tear, or to lack of maintenance. We shall in no event be liable for death, injuries
to persons or property, or for incidental, contingent, special or consequential damages arising from the use of
our product. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the
above limitation of exclusion may not apply to you. THIS WARRANTY IS EXPRESSLY IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER
WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS.
To take advantage of this warranty, the product or part must be returned to us with transportation charges
prepaid. Proof of purchase date and an explanation of the complaint must accompany the merchandise.
If our inspection verifies the defect, we will either repair or replace the product at our election or we may
elect to refund the purchase price if we cannot readily and quickly provide you with a replacement. We will
return repaired products at our expense, but if we determine there is no defect, or that the defect resulted
from causes not within the scope of our warranty, then you must bear the cost of returning the product.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.
