KC-6LS POWER SUPPLY (120V-1 PHASE)
WARNING:
THIS LOG SPLITTER MUST BE CONNECTED TO A
110V-120V, 15-AMP, BRANCH CIRCUIT. FAILURE TO CONNECT
IN THIS WAY CAN RESULT IN INJURY FROM SHOCK OR FIRE.
120V OPERATION
As received from the factory, your log splitter is wired for 110V-120V
operation and is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet and a
plug which looks like the one illustrated in Fig.1.
GROUNDING
This log splitter must be grounded. If it should malfunction or
breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric
current, to reduce the risk of electric shock. This log splitter must be
equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet
that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
Not all outlets are properly grounded. If you are not sure if your
outlet is properly grounded, have it checked by a qualified electrician.
WARNING:
IF NOT
PROPERLY
GROUNDED, THIS LOG
SPLITTER CAN CAUSE ELECTRICAL SHOCK, PARTICULARLY
WHEN USED IN DAMP LOCATIONS. TO AVOID SHOCK OR FIRE,
IF THE POWER CORD IS WORN OR DAMAGED IN ANY WAY,
HAVE IT REPLACED IMMEDIATELY.
WARNING:
TO MAINTAIN PROPER GROUNDING OF YOUR LOG
SPLITTER, DO NOT REMOVE OR ALTER THE GROUNDING
PRONG IN ANY MANNER.
WARNING:
DO NOT USE A TWO-PRONG ADAPTOR FOR THEY
ARE NOT IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL CODES AND
ORDINANCES. NEVER USE IN CANADA.
EXTENSION CORDS
The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of power. Use the
following table to determine the minimum wire size (A.W.G-American
Wire Gauge) extension cord. Use only extension cords which accept
the tool’s plug.
For circuits that are further away from the electrical circuit box, the wire
size must be increased proportionately in order to deliver ample
voltage to the motor. Refer to Fig.2 for wire length and size.
