Electrical Safety
1. Always check that the power supply corresponds to the
voltage on the rating plate.
2. Do not operate in an area where there is a possibility
of body contact with grounded items (i.e.: pipes, metal
structures). Avoid contact with metal objects.
3. Do not pull/yank the power cord. Keep the power cord
away from hot surfaces and sharp objects.
4. Always use a grounded three-wire extension cord and re-
ceptacle that are made of rubber and intended for outdoor
use. The machine is designed to operate on 120 Volt AC
household current. The chipper power cord has a ground-
ing prong. To avoid the possibility of shock it must always
be used with a properly grounded three-prong receptacle
protected with a 20A fuse. Never remove the ground prong
from the plug.
Note: If necessary, the machine can be switched to a
single-phase network (120V/60Hz). Connect the main
leads to a standard 120V/60Hz electrical supply which has
protection devices of under-voltage, over-voltage, over-
current as well as a residual current device (RCD) with a
maximum residual current rated at 30mA. Only a qualified
electrician should only do this.
5. Do not operate the machine where water is present
(i.e.: rain, sprinkler, puddles).
6. Do not touch electrical plugs with wet hands.
7. Keep the extension cord away from the moving parts and
hot motor housing.
8. Immediately replace and dispose of damaged wires and
plugs.
9. Do not open the switch box on the motor. If service is
necessary take the machine to a qualified electrician.
10. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection should
be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for the
gardening appliance. Receptacles are available having
built-in GFCI protection and may be used for this measure
of safety.
11. Warning – Use outdoor extension cords marked SW-A,
SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A, SJTW-A, or SJTOWA.
These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk
of electric shock.
Exception: Types SW, SOW, STW, STOW, SJW, SJOW,
SJTW, and SJTOW are alternative designations to Types
SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A, SJOW-A,
SJTW-A, and SJTOW-A, respectfully.
12. 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
