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.

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.
