Additional safety rules for generators
1. Do not operate in a hazardous location. Such areas
include where there is a risk of explosion of petrol
fumes, leaking gas or explosive dust.
2. Do not operate in a confined area. Exhaust gases,
smoke or fumes could reach dangerous concentrations.
3. The output of this generator is potentially lethal. The
generator should not be connected to a fixed electrical
installation except by an appropriately licensed person.
4. Protect your generator. This generator is NOT
WEATHERPROOF and should not be exposed to direct
sunlight, high ambient temperature and damp, wet or
high humidity conditions.
5. Do not smoke while refuelling. This is potentially
dangerous as it may ignite the fuel and cause
an explosion.
6. Take care not to spill fuel. When refuelling the
generator ensure that the engine has been switched off.
Prevent the spilling of fuel as this may also ignite with
the hot engine. Never refuel whilst the engine running.
7. Be careful where you store the generator. Store the
generator in a dry area away from inflammable liquids.
8. Keep your distance. The generator emits exhaust
fumes. As a safety precaution do not stand close to
the unit whilst it is in operation. Ensure bystanders also
keep their distance.
9. Never fill fuel tank indoors. Never fill fuel tank when
engine is running or hot. Do not smoke when filling
fuel tank.
10. 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. The output of this
generator is electronically controlled.
You MUST unplug any load from the generator before
starting and stopping to prevent permanent damage to
any appliances.
Unpacking
Due to modern mass production techniques, it is unlikely
that your GMC Power Tool is faulty or that a part is missing.
If you find anything wrong, do not operate the tool until the
parts have been replaced or the fault has been rectified.
Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury.
