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
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.
