JIMMY SERIES HYDRAULIC REBAR BENDERS — RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
■
ALWAYS
test the
ON/OFF
switch on the hydraulic power
unit before operating. The purpose of this switch is to shut
down the rebar bender.
■
NEVER
use a extension cord that is frayed or damaged
where the insulation has been cut.
■
NEVER
carry the hydraulic power unit 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 Table 5.
■
NEVER
allow power cord to
lay in wate
r.
■
NEVER
stand in water
while operating the rebar bender.
■
When connecting the hydraulic power 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 hydraulic power 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 hydraulic power 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 hydraulic power unit outside, 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 rebar bender. This preventative safety measure
reduces the possibility of accidental starting.
