Safety with Electric-Powered Machines

NEVER OVERLOOK THE HAZARDS OF ELECTRICITY. ALWAYS FOLLOW THESE PRECAUTIONS:

•NEVER OPEN THE SWITCH BOX OR MOTOR COVER. NEVER ATTEMPT ANY ELECTRICAL REPAIRS YOURSELF. IF IN DOUBT, CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN OR CONTACT COUNTRY HOME PRODUCTS’ TOLL-FREE SUPPORT AT 1-800-DR-OWNER (376-9637) FOR HELP OR INFORMATION.

•NEVER OPERATE THE WOOD SPLITTER IF THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL HAZARD PRESENT.

•NEVER OPERATE THE WOOD SPLITTER IN WET CONDITIONS.

•NEVER OPERATE THE WOOD SPLITTER WITH A DAMAGED ELECTRICAL CORD OR DAMAGED EXTENSION CORD.

•NEVER PULL ON THE POWER CORD TO MOVE THE MACHINE.

•ALWAYS GRASP THE POWER CORD PLUG WHEN UNPLUGGING THE CORD FROM THE OUTLET; NEVER PULL THE PLUG OUT BY THE CORD.

•NEVER OPERATE THE WOOD SPLITTER UNLESS THE POWER CORD IS PLUGGED INTO A PROPERLY GROUNDED OUTLET, WHICH SUPPLIES 110-120V POWER, AND IS PROTECTED BY A 15-AMP CIRCUIT BREAKER.

•NEVER TAMPER WITH SAFETY DEVICES. CHECK THEIR PROPER OPERATION REGULARLY.

•IF YOU WILL USE AN EXTENSION CORD, WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU KEEP THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE POWER CORD AND THE EXTENSION CORD WELL AWAY FROM ANY WATER.

•NEVER USE AN EXTENSION CORD LONGER THAN 33 FEET OR SMALLER THAN 12 AWG IN DIAMETER, BECAUSE THE CORD WILL PRODUCE A VOLTAGE DROP THAT WILL PREVENT THE MOTOR FROM SUPPLYING FULL POWER AND MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE MOTOR.

•ALWAYS KEEP THE POWER CORD AND/OR EXTENSION CORD AWAY FROM EXCESSIVE HEAT, OIL, AND SHARP OBJECTS.
