ELECTRICAL SAFETY 4. Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. If the tools should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user. 5.
12. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the Power Switch is off before plugging in. Plugging in the splitter with the Power Switch on, invites accidents. 13. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the splitter on. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury. 14. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better control of the splitter in unexpected situations. 15.
23. Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used on another tool. SERVICE 24. Log Splitter service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury. 25. When servicing the Log Splitter, use only identical replacement parts.
2. Always wear safety impact eye goggles and heavy work gloves when using the splitter. Using personal safety devices reduce the risk for injury. Safety impact eye goggles and heavy work gloves are available from Harbor Freight Tools. 3. Maintain a safe working environment. Keep the work area well lit. Make sure there is adequate surrounding workspace. Always keep the work area free of obstructions, grease, oil, trash, and other debris.
GROUNDING WARNING! Improperly connecting the grounding wire can result in the risk of electric shock. Check with a qualfified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the power cord plug provided with the tool. Never remove the grounding prong from the plug. Do not use the tool if the power cord or plug is damaged. If damaged, have it repaired by a service facility before use.
DOUBLE INSULATED TOOLS: TOOLS WITH TWO PRONG PLUGS 4. 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 Laboratories, Inc., the Canadian Standard Association, and the National Electrical Code. (See Figure B.) 5. Double insulated tools may be used in either of the 120 volt outlets shown in the following illustration. (See Figure B.) FIGURE B EXTENSION CORDS 1.
