SAFETY INFORMATION
Honda generator/welders are designed to give safe and dependable service
if
operated according to instructions. Read and understand this owner’s
manual before operating your generator/welder. You can held prevent accidents by being familiar with your generator/welder’s controls, and by observing safe operating procedures.
Operator Responsibility
Know how to stop the generator/welder quickly in case of emergency.
0
Understand the use of all generator/welder controls, output receptacles,
and connections.
0
Be sure that anyone who operates the generator/welder receives proper
instruction.
Do
not let children operate the generator/welder without
parental supervision.
Carbon Monoxide Hazards
Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide, a colorless and odorless
gas. Breathing exhaust can cause loss of consciousness and may lead to
death.
If
you run the generatodwelder in an area that is confined, or even partially
of
enclosed, the air you breathe could contain adangerous amount

Electric Shock Hazards
The generator/welder produces enough electric power to cause a serious
shock or electrocution if misused.
Using a generator/welder or electrical appliance in wet conditions, such as
rain or snow, or near a pool or sprinkler system, or when your hands are
wet, could result in electrocution. Keep the generatodwelder dry.
If
the generator/welder is stored outdoors, unprotected from the weather,
check all electrical components on the control panel, before each use.
Moisture or ice can cause a malfunction or short circuit in electrical
components which could result in electrocution.
0
Do
not connect to a building’s electrical system unless an isolation switch
has been installed by a qualified electrician.
Fire
and
Burn
Hazards
The exhaust system gets hot enough to ignite some materials.
-
Keep the generator/welder at least 1 meter
(3
feet) away from buildings
and other equipment during operation.
-
Do
not enclose the generator/welder in any structure.
-
Keep flammable materials away from the generator/welder.
The muffler becomes very hot during operation and remains hot for a while
after stopping the engine. Be careful not to touch the muffler while it is hot.
Let the engine
cool
before storing the generator/welder indoors.
Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain conditions.
Do
not smoke or allow flames or sparks where the generator/welder is
refueled or where gasoline is stored. Refuel in a well-ventilated area with
the engine stopped.
Fuel vapors are extremely flammable and may ignite after the engine has
started. Make sure that any spilled fuel has been wiped up before starting
the generator/welder.
8
Use adequate eye protection. Eye protection is
of
the utmost importance,
not only for the operator, but also for any other personnel in thevicinity while
welding is being done. Eye hazards include arc glare, reflected glare, stray
flashes, sparks, and flying bits of molten metal.
Looking at a welding arc with unprotected eyes may produce severe pain
and event ternporary blindness.
Use a helmet or hand-held shieid with a
#10
or darker filter lens.
Filter lenses eliminate the harmful effects of infrared and ultraviolet
radiation from the arc and reduce the glare from the arc light as well.
Wear protective clothing such as leather gloves, cap, sleeves, jacket,
apron, and high-top safety shoes.
All
outer clothing must be free
of
oil and
grease.
