GENERAL SAFETY RULES  
WARNING!  
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS  
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in  
electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury.  
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS  
WORK AREA  
1.  
2.  
Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite  
accidents.  
Do not operate generators in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence  
of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Generators create sparks which may ignite  
the dust or fumes.  
3.  
4.  
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. Check  
with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly  
grounded. If the tools should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding  
provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user.  
5.  
6.  
Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider  
than the other). This plug will fit 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.  
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges,  
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is  
grounded.

7.  
8.  
Do not expose generators to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a generator  
will increase the risk of electric shock.  
Do not abuse Power Cords. Never use a Power Cord to carry any tool or pull  
the Plug from an outlet. Keep Power Cords away from heat, oil, sharp edges,  
or moving parts. Replace damaged Power Cords immediately. Damaged Power  
Cords increase the risk of electric shock.  
9.  
When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked  
“W-A” or “W”. These extension cords are rated for outdoor use, and reduce the  
risk of electric shock.  
PERSONAL SAFETY  
10.  
Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating  
a generator. Do not use a generator while tired or under the influence of  
drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating generators  
may result in serious personal injury.  
11.  
12.  
13.  
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair.  
Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes,  
jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.  
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the ON/Off Switch is in its OFF position and  
the ignition key is removed from the Ignition Switch (45) when the generator is not  
in use.  
Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the generator on. A wrench  
or an adjusting key that is left attached to a rotating part of the generator may result  
in personal injury.  
14.  
15.  
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.  
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, nonskid safety  
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.  
16.  
Never run the generator in an enclosed garage or any other type of enclosed  
structure without a proper, leak-free ventilation shaft. Carbon Monoxide, an  
odorless, colorless deadly gas may accumulate and cause serious injury or death.  
GENERATOR USE AND CARE  
17.  
18.  
Do not overload the generator. Use the correct generator for your application.  
The correct generator will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is  
designed.  
Do not use the generator if the Power Switch does not turn it on or off. Any  
generator that cannot be controlled with the Power Switch is dangerous and must  
be properly repaired or replaced.

Powering Tools And Equipment:  
1.  
Prior to powering tools and equipment, make sure the Generator’s rated voltage,  
wattage, and amperage capacity (120V/ 15 AMP and 240V/ 15 AMP) is adequate  
to supply all electrical loads that the unit will power. If powering exceeds the  
Generator’s capacity, it may be necessary to group one or more of the tools and/or  
equipment for connection to a separate Generator.  
2.  
3.  
Once the Generator is running, simply connect the Power Cords of 120 volt powered  
tools and equipment into the 120 volt Outlets (43). If a 240 volt tool or equipment is  
used, connect its power cord into the 240 volt Twistlock Outlet (44). (See Figure I.)  
NOTE:The Generator features two AC Non-Fuse Overload Breakers (42) to protect  
the AC circuit in case of an overload. Should an overload occur one or both of the  
Breakers will “trip”, interrupting the circuit (disconnecting power to the connected  
tools and/or equipment). In this case, refer to Step #1 in this section. Then, reset  
the circuitry system by depressing the Breaker(s). Restart the Generator and  
continue powering the remaining tools and equipment. (See Figure I.)
