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 instructions important safety instructions

Risk of electrocution and fire

Hazard What could happen How to prevent it

Improper storage of extension cord.

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

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

Use of worn, damaged or
ungrounded extension cords.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.
