7. Do not expose generators to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a generator
will increase the risk of electric shock.
8. 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. 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.
12. 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.
13. 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. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
15. 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.
17. 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.
18. 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.
