alWaYs test the POWER switch on the equipment before
operating. The purpose of this switch is to shut down the power.
Never use a extension cord that is frayed or damaged where
the insulation has been cut.
Never carry the equipment by its power cord or disconnect
it by yanking the cord from the power outlet.
alWaYs make certain that the proper extension cord
has been selected for the job. See Extension Cord Gauge
Selection Table.
Never allow power cord to lay in water.
Never stand in water while operating the equipment.
When connecting the unit to a power receptacle, make sure
the receptacle circuit is connected to either a GFCI receptacle
or a receptacle protected by a 20 amp circuit breaker.
When plugging the unit into a power receptacle, check the
nameplate for the correct operating voltage. Operating the
rebar bender at the wrong voltage will damage the electrical
components.
alWaYs read the nameplate before applying
power.
This unit is equipped with a 3-prong male power plug.
do
NoT use a 2-prong adapter when plugging into a wall outlet.
This will defeat the purpose of the ground circuit. If the plug
does not fit into the receptacle, contact a qualified electrician
to install a 3-conductor wall receptacle (outlet).
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk
of electrical shock if your body is grounded.
do NoT expose the hydraulic power unit to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering the power unit will increase the
risk of electrical shock.
When operating the unit outdoors, be sure to use the
appropriate outdoor extension cord. This type of extension
cord reduces the risk of electrical shock.
alWaYs remove the AC power cord from the power source
before performing any service or maintenance on the unit.
This preventative safety measure reduces the possibility of
accidental starting.
When operating near an arc welder, it is important the both
the unit and the welding equipment be connected to the
same earth ground. If they are not, server damage to the
unit, particularly to the power cord could occur. Personal
injury may also occur.
