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 licenced 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 refueling. This is potentially dangerous
as it may ignite the fuel and cause an explosion.
6. Take care not to spill fuel. When refueling the
generator ensure that the motor has been switched off.
Prevent the spilling of fuel as this may also ignite with
the hot motor. 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. Ground (earth) your generator. Ensure that the
generator has been ground by using an earth lead.
Simply connect one end of the Earth lead to the
generator where marked and the other end should be
pressed into the ground.
10. Ensure you use oil-mix fuel. Ensure that you mix 50
parts unleaded fuel to 1 part engine grade oil. If not,
the engine will overheat and cause damage to your
generator.
11. Never fill fuel tank indoors. Never fill fuel tank when
engine is running or hot. Do not smoke when filling
fuel tank.
12. 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. Both the
output voltage and frequency will be thrown out of
standard by this practice, endangering attachments
and the user.
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.
