cords can cause electric shock.
NEVER operate the generator, or handle any
electrical equi pment while standing i n water, whi le
barefoot, while hands are wet or while in the rain or
snow. Electric shock may result.
ALWAYS use a ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) in damp or highly electrical conductive areas
and on construction job-sites to prevent electric shock.
