IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
The purpose of safety rules is to attract your
attention to possible dangers. The safety
symbols and the explanations with them, require
your careful attention and understanding. The
safety warnings do not by themselves eliminate
any danger. The instruction or warnings they
give are not substitutes for proper accident
prevention measures.
SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL. Indicates
caution or warning. May be used in
conjunction with other symbols or
pictures.
Failure to obey a safety warning can result in
serious injury to yourself or to others. Always
follow the safety precautions to reduce the risk
of fire, electric shock and personal injury.
Do not attempt to operate this tool until you
have read thoroughly and completely
understood the safety rules, etc. contained in
this manual. Failure to comply can result in
accidents involving fire, electric shock or serious
personal injury. Save this Owners Operating
Manual and review it frequently for continual
safe operation and for instructing
others who may use this tool.
DANGER: CARBON MONOXIDE.
Using a generator indoors CAN KILL
YOU IN MINUTES.
Generator exhaust contains high levels of
carbon monoxide (CO), a poisonous gas you
cannot see or smell. If you can smell the
generator exhaust, you are breathing CO. But
even if you cannot smell the exhaust, you could
be breathing CO.
Never use a generator inside homes, garages,
crawlspaces, or other partly enclosed areas.
Deadly levels of carbon monoxide can build up
in these areas. Using a fan or opening windows
and doors does NOT supply enough fresh air.
ONLY use a generator outdoors and far away
from open windows, doors, and vents. These
openings can pull in generator exhaust.
Even when you use a generator correctly, CO
may leak into the home. ALWAYS use a battery
powered or battery-backup CO alarm in the
home.
If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak after the
generator has been running, move to fresh air
RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor. You could have
carbon monoxide poisoning.
WARNING: Read and understand all
instructions. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below could result in
electrocution, fire, and/or carbon
monoxide poisoning, which can cause
death or serious injury.
WARNING: In some applications,
National Electric Code requires the
generator to be grounded to an
approved earth ground. Before using
the ground terminal, consult a qualified
electrician, electrical inspector, or local
agency having jurisdiction for local
codes or ordinances that apply to the
intended use of the generator.
