SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS FOR ELECTRICAL POWER EQUIPMENT

WARNING

ELECTRIC SHOCK can KILL. Do not touch live electrical parts.

ELECTRIC ARC FLASH can injure eyes, burn skin, cause equipment damage, and ignite combustible

material. DO NOT use power cables to break load and prevent tools from causing short circuits.

IMPROPER PHASE CONNECTION, PARALLELING, OR USE can damage this and attached

equipment.

Important:

- Protect all operating personnel. Read, understand, and follow all instructions in

the Operating/Instruction Manual before installing, operating, or servicing the equipment. Keep
the manual available for future use by all operators.

A. GENERAL
Equipment that supplies electrical power can cause serious injury or death, or damage to other equipment

or property. The operator must strictly observe all safety rules and take precautionary actions. Safe practices
have been developed from past experience in the use of power source equipment. While certain practices be-
low apply only to electrically-powered equipment, other practices apply to engine-driven equipment, and some
practices to both.

B. SHOCK PREVENTION
Bare conductors, or terminals in the output circuit, or ungrounded, electrically-live equipment can fatally

shock a person. Have a certified electrician verify that the equipment is adequately grounded and learn what
terminals and parts are electrically HOT. Avoid hot spots on machine. Use proper safety clothing, procedures,
and test equipment.

The electrical resistance of the body is decreased when wet, permitting dangerous currents to flow

through it. When inspecting or servicing equipment, do not work in damp areas. Stand on a dry rubber mat
or dry wood, use insulating gloves when dampness or sweat cannot be avoided. Keep clothing dry, and
never work alone

1. Installation and Grounding of Electrically Powered Equipment
Equipment driven by electric motors (rather than by diesel or gasoline engines) must be installed and

maintained in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or other applicable codes. A
power disconnect switch or circuit breaker must be located at the equipment. Check the nameplate for volt-
age, frequency, and phase requirements. If only 3-phase power is available, connect any single-phase rated
equipment to only two wires of the 3-phase line. DO NOT CONNECT the equipment grounding conductor
(lead) to the third live wire of the 3-phase line, as this makes the equipment frame electrically HOT, which can
cause a fatal shock.

Always connect the grounding lead, if supplied in a power line cable, to the grounded switch box or build-

ing ground. If not provided, use a separate grounding lead. Ensure that the current (amperage) capacity of
the grounding lead will be adequate for the worst fault current situation. Refer to the National Electrical Code
ANSI/NFPA 70 for details. Do not remove plug ground prongs. Use correctly mating receptacles.

2. Output Cables and Terminals
Inspect cables frequently for damage to the insulation and the connectors. Replace or repair cracked or

worn cables immediately. Do not overload cables. Do not touch output terminal while equipment is energized.

3. Service and Maintenance
This equipment must be maintained in good electrical and mechanical condition to avoid hazards stem-

ming from disrepair. Report any equipment defect or safety hazard to the supervisor and discontinue use of
the equipment until its safety has been assured. Repairs should be made by qualified personnel only.

Before inspecting or servicing electrically-powered equipment, take the following precautions:
