HotComponents
,_ WARNING! Engine and exhaust system parts become very hot and remain hot for some time after the
engine is run. Wear insulated gloves or wait until the engine and exhaust system have cooled before
handling these parts.
WorkArea
Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases,
or dust. Generators create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a generator. Provide barriers or shields as
needed.
Electrical Safety
Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded in accordance with all
codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs.
Grounding provides a low=resistance path to carry electricity away from the user in the event of an electrical
malfunction.
Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug where one blade is wider than the other. This plug
fits in a polarized outlet only one way, If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug, If it still
does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet, Do not change the plug in any way.
Double insulation eliminates the need for the three-wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply
system.
