GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN, grounding
provides the path of least resistance for an electric current and reduces the risk
of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord that has an equip-
ment 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.
This Log Splitter has a 3-prong plug that is intended for use on a circuit that has
a receptacle like the one pictured in Figure A.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a
licensed electrician.
IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment grounding conductor can result in electric shock. The conduc-
tor with the green insulation (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 equipment grounding conductor to a
live terminal.
WARNING: To avoid injury, use only identical replacement parts when servicing the log splitter.
WARNING: Do not touch the metal blades on the power cord plug when removing or installing the
plug into an electrical outlet or extension cord.
WARNING: To avoid electrocution, do not use in wet or damp areas or expose to rain.
CAUTION: In all cases, make certain the receptacle in question is properly grounded. If you are not
sure, have a certified electrician check the receptacle.
GUIDELINES FOR USING EXTENSION CORDS
WARNING: Improper use of extension cords may cause inefficient operation, which can result in
overheating. Use an extension cord rated for outdoor operation.
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy
enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in
loss of power and overheating. The table on the next page shows the correct size to be used according to cord length
and nameplate ampere rating. When in doubt, use a heavier cord. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the
cord.
