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.
