GENERAL SAFETY RULES

WARNING!

READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS

Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in

electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WORK AREA

1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas

invite accidents.

2. Do not operate generators in explosive atmospheres, such as in the pres-

ence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Generators create sparks which

may ignite the dust or fumes.

3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a generator.

Provide barriers or shields as needed.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

4. Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and

grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the

grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter

plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether

the outlet is properly grounded. If the tools should electrically malfunction or

break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away

from the user.

5. Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is

wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If

the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not

fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not

change the plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates the need for the

three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.

6. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators,

ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your

body is grounded.

SKU 90236 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353. Page 4

7. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a generator

will increase the risk of electric shock.

8. Do not abuse Power Cords. Never use a Power Cord to carry any tool or pull

the Plug from an outlet. Keep Power Cords away from heat, oil, sharp edges,

or moving parts. Replace damaged Power Cords immediately. Damaged Power

Cords increase the risk of electric shock.

9. When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked

“W-A” or “W”. These extension cords are rated for outdoor use, and reduce the

risk of electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

10. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating

a generator. Do not use a generator while tired or under the influence of

drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating generators

may result in serious personal injury.

11. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair.

Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes,

jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

12. Avoid accidental starting. Make sure the Power Switch is in its“OFF”position,

and disconnect the Spark Plug Wire when not in use.

13. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the generator on. A wrench

or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the generator may result in personal

injury.

14. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

15. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety

shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.

16. Never run the generator in an enclosed garage or any other type of enclosed

structure without a proper, leak-free ventilation shaft. Carbon Monoxide, an

odorless, colorless deadly gas may accumulate and cause serious injury or death.

GENERATOR USE AND CARE

17. Do not overload the generator. Use the correct generator for your application.

The correct generator will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is

designed.

SKU 90236 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353. Page 5

18. Do not use the generator if the Power Switch does not turn it on or off. Any

generator that cannot be controlled with the Power Switch is dangerous and must

be replaced.

19. Make sure the Power Switch is in its “OFF” position and disconnect the

spark plug wire before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or

storing the generator. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of

starting the generator accidentally.

20. Store idle generators out of reach of children and other untrained persons.

Generators are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

21. Maintain generators with care. Do not use a damaged generator. Tag damaged

generators “Do not use” until repaired.

22. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and

any other condition that may affect the generator’s operation. If damaged,

have the generator serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by

poorly maintained generators.

23. Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your

model. Accessories that may be suitable for one generator may become hazard-

ous when used on another generator.

GENERATOR USE AND CARE (Continued)
