General safety instructions for power tools

To use this tool properly, you must observe the safety
regulations, the assembly instructions and the operating
instructions to be found in this Manual. All persons who use
and service the machine have to be acquainted with this
Manual and must be informed about its potential hazards.
Children and infirm people must not use this tool. Children
should be supervised at all times if they are in the area in
which the tool is being used. It is also imperative that you
observe the accident prevention regulations in force in your
area. The same applies for general rules of occupational
health and safety.

WARNING. When using power tools, basic safety precautions

should always be taken to reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock and personal injury. Also, please read and heed the
advice given in the additional important safety instructions.

1. Keep the work area clean and tidy. Cluttered work areas

and benches invite accidents and injury.

2. Consider the environment in which you are working. Do

not use power tools in damp or wet locations. Keep the work
area well lit. Do not expose power tools to rain. Do not use
power tools in the presence of flammable liquids or gases.

3. Keep visitors away from the work area. All visitors and

onlookers, especially children and infirm persons, should be
kept well away from where you are working. Do not let others
in the vicinity make contact with the tool or extension cord.

4. Store tools safely. When not in use, tools should be

locked up out of reach.

5. Do not force the tool. The tool will do the job better and

safer working at the rate for which it was designed.

6. Use the correct tool for the job. Do not force small tools

or attachments to do the job best handled by a heavier
duty tool. Never use a tool for a purpose for which it was
not intended.

7. Dress correctly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery.

They can be caught in moving parts. Rubber gloves and
non-slip footwear are recommended when working outdoors.
If you have long hair, wear a protective hair covering.

8. Use safety accessories. Safety glasses and earmuffs

should always be worn. A face or dust mask is also
required if the drilling operation creates dust.

9. Secure the work piece. Use clamps or a vice to hold the

work piece. It is safer than using your hand and frees both
hands to operate the tool.

10. Do not overreach. Keep your footing secure and

balanced at all times.

11. Look after your tools. Keep tools sharp and clean for

better and safer performance. Follow the instructions
regarding lubrication and accessory changes. Inspect tool
cords periodically and, if damaged, have them repaired
by an authorised service facility. Inspect extension cords
periodically and replace them if damaged. Keep tool
handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease.

12. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Check to see

that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the
tool before switching on.

13. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing. Use common

sense. Do not operate a tool when you are tired.

14. Check for damaged parts. Before using a tool, check

that there are no damaged parts. If a part is slightly
damaged, carefully determine if it will operate properly
and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of
moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
proper mounting and any other conditions that may affect
the operation of the tool. A part that is damaged should be
properly repaired or replaced by an authorised service
facility, unless otherwise indicated in this Instruction Manual.

15. Use only approved parts. When servicing, use only

identical replacement parts. Use an authorised service
facility to fit replacement parts.

WARNING. The use of an accessory or attachment, other

than those recommended in this Instruction Manual, may
present a risk of personal injury.

Save these important safety instructions

Risk of electrocution and fire

Hazard What could happen How to prevent it

Improper storage of extension cord.

Extension cord can come into contact
with hot engine parts resulting in
damage. Using a damaged extension
cord can result in electrocution or death.

Remove extension cord from the
generator and store separately away
from generator.

Operation of generator in rain, wet,
icy, or flooded conditions.

Water is an excellent conductor of
electricity! Water which comes in contact
with electrically charged components can
transmit electricity to the frame and other
surfaces, resulting in electrical shock to
anyone contacting them.

Operate generator in a clean, dry, well
ventilated area. Make sure hands are dry
before touching unit.

Placing generator on or against
highly conductive surface, such as
a steel walkway or metal roof.

Accidental leakage of electrical current
could charge conductive surfaces in
contact with the generator.

Place generator on low conductivity
surface such as a concrete slab.

ALWAYS operate generator a minimum
of 2 meters from any conductive surface.

Use of worn, damaged or
ungrounded extension cords.

Contact with worn or damaged extension
cords could result in electrocution.

Use of ungrounded cordsets could
prevent operation of circuit breakers and
result in electrical shock.

Inspect extension cords before use and
replace with new cord if required.

Always use a cordset having a grounding
wire with an appropriate grounding plug.

DO NOT use an ungrounded plug.

Operation of unit when damaged, or
with guards or panels removed.

Attempting to use the unit when it
has been damaged, or when it is not
functioning normally could result in fire or
electrocution.

Removal of guarding could expose
electrically charged components and
result in electrocution.

Do not operate generator with
mechanical or electrical problem. Have
unit repaired by an Authorized Service
Centre.

Do not operate generator with protective
guarding removed.

Risk of fire

Hazard What could happen How to prevent it

Attempting to fill the fuel tank while
the engine is running.

Fuel and fuel vapours can become
ignited by coming in contact with hot
components such as the muffler, engine
exhaust gases, or from an electrical
spark.

Turn engine off and allow it to cool before
adding fuel to the tank. Equip area of
operation with a fire extinguisher certified
to handle gasoline or fuel fires.

Sparks, fire, hot objects

Cigarettes, sparks, fires, or other hot
objects can cause fuel or fuel vapours
to ignite.

Add fuel to tank in well ventilated area.
Make sure there are no sources of
ignition near the generator.

Improper storage of fuel

Improperly stored fuel could lead to
accidental ignition. Fuel improperly
secured could get into the hands of
children or other unqualified persons.

Store fuel in an approved container
designed to hold fuel. Store container in
secure location to prevent use by others.

Tampering with factory set engine
speed settings.

Engine speed has been factory set to
provide safe operation. Tampering with
the engine speed adjustment could result
in overheating of attachments and could
cause a fire.

Never attempt to “speed-up” the engine
to obtain more performance. Both the
output voltage and frequency will be
thrown out of standard by this practice,
endangering attachments and the user.

Inadequate ventilation
for generator

Materials placed against or near the
generator or operating the generator in
areas where the temperature exceeds
40° C. ambient (such as storage rooms
or garages) can interfere with its proper
ventilation features causing overheating
and possible ignition of the materials or
buildings.

Operate generator in a clean, dry,
well ventilated area.

DO NOT OPERATE UNIT INDOORS
OR IN ANY CONFINED AREA.

Overfilling the fuel tank
– fuel spillage.

Spilled fuel and its vapours can become
ignited from hot surfaces or sparks.

Use care in filling the tank to avoid
spilling fuel. Make sure fuel cap is
secured tightly and check engine for
fuel leaks before starting engine. Move
generator away from refuelling area or
any spillage before starting engine. Allow
for fuel expansion. Never refuel with the
engine running.
