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.
•
Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug where
one blade is wider than the other. This plug fits 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.
•
Before servicing equipment powered by the generator,
disconnect the equipment from its power input.
•
The generator must be earth-grounded for fixed installations in
accordance with all relevant electrical codes and standards
before operation.
•
Grounding provides a low-resistance path to carry electricity
away from the user in the event of an electrical malfunction.
•
All connections and conduits from the generator to the load must
only be installed by trained and licensed electricians and in
compliance with all relevant local, state, and federal electrical
codes and standards, and other regulations where applicable.
•
Connect the generator only to a load or electrical system
(110/120 volt) that is compatible with the electrical characteristics
and rated capacities of the generator.
•
NEVER try to power building or home wiring by plugging the
generator into a wall outlet, a practice known as "backfeeding."
This is extremely dangerous and presents an electrocution risk
to utility workers and neighbors served by the same utility
transformer. It also bypasses some of the built-in household
circuit protection devices.
Personal Safety
CAUTION:
DO NOT SIT, STAND, OR PLACE OBJECTS ON TOP OF
THE GENERATOR REGARDLESS OF WHETHER IT IS
RUNNING OR NOT.
•
Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense
when operating a generator. Do not use 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.
•
Make note of the location of the engine power switch should you
need to turn off the generator quickly.
