• Never use an extension cord that is not rated for outdoor
use. The cord should not be longer than 30 feet. The cord
should be of a heavy-duty construction (12-10 AWG).
• Check that the electric circuit is adequately protected and
corresponds with the power, voltage and frequency of
the motor. Check that there is a ground connection and
a regulation differential switch upstream. Ground the log
splitter. Prevent body contact with ground surfaces: pipes,
radiatiors, ranges, refrigerator enclosures, etc. Never open
the pushbutton box on the motor. Make sure your fingers
do not touch the plug's metal prongs when plugging in or
unplugging the log splitter.

becomes lodged in the ram, unplug electric motor before
attempting to remove the foreign object.

paint, solvents, or flammable liquids pose a potential fire/
explosion hazard.
