4 -Ton WOOD SPLITTER Safety & Operating Instructions 7
Safety with Electric Powered Machines
Never open the switch box or motor cover. DO NOT 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; DO NOT
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.
If an extension cord is to be used, it is recommended that the connection between the
power cord and the extension cord be kept 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.
