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 presence

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 90300 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353. PAGE 4

7. Do not expose generators 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. Be sure the ON/Off Switch is in its OFF position and

the ignition key is removed from the Ignition Switch (45) when the generator is not

in use.

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

or an adjusting 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, nonskid 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.

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.

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 properly repaired or replaced.

19. Disconnect the negative battery cable from the battery and remove the Ignition

Key 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 hazardous

when used on another generator.
