Safety with Electric - Powered Machines
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 Generac Power Systems for toll-free support at: 1-888-545-6576 for help or information.
Never use an extension cord that is not rated for outdoor use.
Never operate the Log Splitter if there is an electrical hazard present.
Never operate the Log Splitter in wet conditions and always store under cover.
Never operate the Log Splitter with a damaged electrical cord or damaged extension cord.
Never pull on the electrical cord to move the machine.
Always grasp the electrical cord plug when unplugging the cord from the outlet; never pull the plug out by the cord. Make
sure your fingers do not touch the metal prongs when plugging or unplugging.
Never operate the Log Splitter unless the electrical cord is plugged into a properly grounded GFCI protected electrical outlet,
which supplies 110-120v power, and is protected by a 20-amp circuit breaker.
Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper operation regularly.
If you are using an extension cord, keep the connection between the electrical cord and the extension cord well away from any
water.
Never use an extension cord longer than 25 feet and smaller than 12 awg in diameter, or longer than 50 feet and smaller than
10 awg in diameter; the cord will produce a voltage drop that will prevent the motor from supplying full power and may cause
damage to the motor. Use of a smaller diameter (larger awg number) extension cord could result in melting of the insulation
or even create a fire.
Always keep the electrical cord and/or extension cord away from excessive heat, oil, and sharp objects.
