Safety Warnings and Precautions
WARNING: When using tool, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of personal injury and damage to equipment.
Read all instructions before using this tool!
1.Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas invite injuries.
2.Observe work area conditions. Do not use machines or power tools in damp or wet locations. Don’t expose to rain. Keep work area well lighted. Do not use electrically powered tools in the presence of flammable gases or liquids.
3.Keep children away. Children must never be allowed in the work area. Do not let them handle machines, tools, or extension cords.
4.Store idle equipment. When not in use, tools must be stored in a dry location to inhibit rust. Always lock up tools and keep out of reach of children.
5.Do not force tool. It will do the job better and more safely at the rate for which it was intended. Do not use inappropriate attachments in an attempt to exceed the tool capacity.
6.Use the right tool for the job. Do not attempt to force a small tool or attachment to do the work of a larger industrial tool. There are certain applications for which this tool was designed. Do not modify this tool and do not use this tool for a purpose for which it was not intended.
7.Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry as they can be caught in moving parts. Protective, electrically non-conductive clothes and non-skid footwear are recommended when working. Wear restrictive hair covering to contain long hair.

8.Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Do not reach over or across running machines.
9.Maintain tools with care. Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect tool cords periodically and, if damaged, have them repaired by an authorized technician.
10.Disconnect power. Unplug connected appliances when not in use.
11.Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Check that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool or machine work surface before turning on.
12.Avoid unintentional starting. Be sure that all connected appliances are Off before starting the generator.
13.Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, use common sense. Do not operate any tool when you are tired.
14.Check for damaged parts. Before using any tool, any part that appears damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment and binding of moving parts; any broken parts or mounting fixtures; and any other condition that may affect proper operation. Any part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by a qualified technician. Do not use the tool if any switch does not turn On and Off properly.
15.Guard against electric shock. Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerator enclosures.
16.Replacement parts and accessories. When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Use of any other parts will void the warranty. Only use accessories intended for use with this tool. Approved accessories are available from Harbor Freight Tools.
17.Do not operate tool if under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Read warning labels on prescriptions to determine if your judgment or reflexes are impaired while taking drugs. If there is any doubt, do not operate the tool.
18.Use proper size and type extension cord. If an extension cord is required, it must be of the proper size and type to supply the correct current to the tool without heating up. Otherwise, the extension cord could melt and catch fire, or cause electrical damage to the tool. Depending on the appliance connected to the generator, the use of an extension cord should have a 0 to 20 amp capability (up to 50 feet), with wire size rated at 14 AWG. Longer extension cords require larger size wire. If you are using the tool outdoors, use an extension cord rated for outdoor use. (signified by “WA” on the jacket).
19.Maintenance. For your safety, service and maintenance should be performed regularly by a qualified technician.
WARNING
An extension cord that is hot to the touch is overloaded. Repair or replace damaged extension cords immediately.

Electric Generator Safety Precautions and Warnings
1.The Generator produces electrical current. Improper use can result in electrocution, injury or death. Only a qualified technician should service or repair this generator.
2.The Generator was designed to be used in a dry area. Do not expose to rain, snow, sleet, or damp conditions. Damage to the Generator could occur. Moisture can carry electrical current and could cause electrocution.
3.If the Generator is connected to a building, home, business, or any other electrical circuit normally fed by utility power, steps must be taken to ensure that the Generator output and the utility power are positively isolated. Do not plug other appliances into the electrical outlet being used to power the Generator. Failure to isolate the systems will result in
Generator damage. It could also result in personal injury or death to those working around these circuits. Any connection in this regard must only be done by a licensed electrician.
4.Do not exceed the Generator’s rated capacity. The total electrical loads at each outlet must be added to determine the total electrical load. If the electrical appliance does not list the wattage rating, you can calculate it by multiplying amps times voltage (amps x voltage = watts).
5.Do not tamper with the drive, engine-governed speed.The Generator operates at a nominal speed of 3600 RPM. Increases in speed could damage rotating parts of the Generator.
Slower speeds could damage the Generator or appliances connected to the Generator due to low voltage.
6.Always follow national and local safety codes.
7.Do not start the Generator with appliances connected and turned on.
8.If the driver motor is a gas engine, do not used in an enclosed area due to the carbon monoxide fumes produced. The fumes can be deadly.
9.Give the Generator at least two feet of space to dissipate heat.
10.Properly ground the Generator. The National Electrical Code requires that the Generator frame be properly grounded to earth. This should be done by a licensed electrician.
11.Never handle electrical charged extension cords while standing in water.
12.Only use 3-prong, grounded extension cords.
13.Keep fingers and hands away from the spinning pulleys.
14.Install a safety guard around the pulleys.
15.WARNING! People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before using this product. Electromagnetic fields in close proximity to a heart pacemaker could cause interference to or failure of the pacemaker.
Grounding Instruction: This generator should be grounded to help prevent accidental electrical shock. Drive a 3/4” or 1” diameter copper pipe or rod into the ground close to the generator set. The pipe must penetrate moist earth. Using #10 gauge wire, connect one end of the wire to the generator frame. Connect the other end of the wire to the copper pipe or rod using an approved ground clamp.
