electric shock.  
a.do not force this product. use the  
correct product for your applica-  
tion. The correct product will do the  
job better and safer at the rate for  
which it was designed.  
d.do not abuse the AC/dC Adapter  
Cord. never use the Cord for car-  
rying, pulling or unplugging this  
product. Keep Cord away from  
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving  
parts. Damaged or entangled cords  
increase the risk of electric shock.  
b.disconnect the AC/dC Adapter  
plug from the power source and  
the Battery from the Solar Charger  
before making any adjustments,  
changing accessories, or storing  
the product.  
e.When operating the AC/dC Adapter  
outdoors, use an extension cord  
suitable for outdoor use. Use of a  
cord suitable for outdoor use reduces  
the risk of electric shock.  
c.Store this product out of the reach  
of children and do not allow per-  
sons unfamiliar with this product  
or these instructions to operate  
the unit. Electrically powered prod-  
ucts are dangerous in the hands of  
untrained users.  
f. if operating the AC/dC Adapter 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.  
d.maintain this product. 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 unit repaired before use.  
Many accidents are caused by poorly  
maintained products.  
3. personal safety  
a.Stay alert, watch what you are do-  
ing and use common sense when  
using this product. do not use this  
product while you are tired or un-  
der the influence of drugs, alcohol  
or medication. A moment of inatten-  
tion while operating this product may  
result in serious personal injury.  
e.use this product and its acces-  
sories in accordance with these  
instructions, taking into account  
the working conditions and the  
work to be performed. Use of this  
product for operations different from  
those intended could result in a haz-  
ardous situation.  
b.do not overreach. Keep proper  
footing and balance at all times.  
This enables better control of the  
power tool in unexpected situations.  
c.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.  
5. Battery use and care  
a.Recharge only with the Ad/dC  
Adapter specified by the manufac-  
turer. An Adapter that is suitable for  
one type of Battery may create a risk  
of fire when used with another Bat-  
tery.

cloth for best performance. Do not  
use solvents, acid, or alkali products.  
7. For increased pickup of solar energy,  
it is recommended that the Solar  
Panel be positioned so that it points  
directly at the sun.  
8. Performance of the Solar Charger  
may vary depending on site location,  
angle of the Solar Panel in relation  
to the arc of the sun, and available  
sunlight.  
6. Service  
a.Have your Solar Charger serviced  
by a qualified repair person using  
only identical replacement parts.  
This will ensure that the safety of the  
product is maintained.  
9. This product is not a toy. Keep it out  
of reach of children.  
Specific Safety Warnings  
10. People with pacemakers should  
consult their physician(s) before use.  
Electromagnetic fields in close prox-  
imity to heart pacemaker could cause  
pacemaker interference or pacemak-  
er failure. In addition, people with  
pacemakers should:  
1. Maintain labels and nameplates  
on the Solar Charger. These carry  
important safety information. If un-  
readable or missing, contact Harbor  
Freight Tools for a replacement.  
2. Avoid unintentional starting. Prepare  
to begin work before turning on the  
unit.  
• Avoid operating alone.  
• Do not use with power switch locked  
on.  
• Properly maintain and inspect to  
avoid electrical shock.  
3. CAUTION: When solar charging, this  
Charger becomes hot to the touch  
when fully charged and for a period  
after it is charged. Use care when  
handling.  
• Any power cord must be properly  
grounded. Ground Fault Circuit Inter-  
rupter (GFCI) should also be imple-  
mented – it prevents sustained elec-  
trical shock.  
4. Do not leave the AC/DC Adapter  
unattended when it is plugged into an  
electrical outlet. Unplug the Adapter  
from its electrical outlet before leav-  
ing.  
11. WARNING: Handling the AC/DC  
Adapter Cord on this product will ex-  
pose you to lead, a chemical known  
to the State of California to cause  
cancer, and birth defects or other  
reproductive harm. Wash hands after

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 Labora-  
tories, Inc., the Canadian Standard  
Association, and the National Electri-  
cal Code. (See Outlets for 2-prong

electrician if you are in doubt  
as to whether the outlet is  
properly grounded. do not  
modify the AC/dC Adapter  
Cord plug provided with the  
Solar Charger. do not use the  
Solar Charger if the AC/dC  
Adapter 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.  
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 exten-  
sion cords with inadequately sized  
wire causes a serious drop in voltage,  
resulting in loss of power and pos-  
sible tool damage.  
(See table A.)

For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353.

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.)

indicate it is acceptable for outdoor  
use.
