4.  To prevent the appliance cord from disconnecting from 

the extension cord during operation, make a knot with the 

two cords as shown in Table 1.

5.  Do not abuse the cord. Never pull the log splitter by the 

cord or yank the cord to disconnect it from the receptacle. 

Keep the cord away from heat, oil, and sharp edges.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

1.  In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding 

provides a path of least resistance for electric current to 

reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped 

with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding 

conductor and a grounding plug.

2.  The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is 

properly installed and grounded in accordance with all 

local codes and ordinances.

3. 

Do not modify the plug provided – if it will not fit the outlet, 

have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

4.  Improper connection of the equipment-grounding 

conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The 

conductor with insulation having an outer surface that 

is green 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. 

5. 

Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if 

the grounding instructions are not completely understood, 

or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.

6.  Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong 

grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the 

tool’s plug.

7.  Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.

8.  This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet 

that looks like the one illustrated in Sketch A in Figure 

2. The tool has a grounding plug that looks like the plug 

illustrated in Sketch A in Figure 2. A temporary adapter, 

which looks like the adapter illustrated in Sketches B 

and C, may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole 

receptacle as shown in Sketch B if a properly grounded 

outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be 

used only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed 

by a qualified electrician. The green-colored rigid ear, 

lug, and the like, extending from the adapter must be 

connected to a permanent ground such as a properly 

grounded outlet box.

PERMANENTLY CONNECTED TOOLS

1.  This tool should be connected to a grounded metal 

permanent wiring system; or to a system having an 

equipment-grounding conductor.

2.  USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. 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. Table 2 shows the correct size to use 

depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. 

If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the 

gauge number, the heavier the cord.

EXTENSION CORDS

1.  Use only three-wire outdoor extension cords that have 

three-prong grounding plugs and grounding receptacles 

that accept the appliance’s plug.
