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. |

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.
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.
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.

GENERATOR USE AND CARE (Continued)
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.
SERVICE
24.Generator service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel.
Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
25.When servicing a generator, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the “Inspection, Maintenance, And Cleaning” section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury.
