1. Safety Precautions
Warning: Suffocation from Exhaust Fume

Do not operate the equipment in a poorly-ventilated area such as indoors or within a
tunnel because the engine exhaust fume includes components that are harmful to
humans.
Warning: Suffocation from Welding Fume

Always be sure to wear a fume-proof mask when welding as the fumes generated
during welding include harmful gases and dust. Also be careful that the wind direction
is not such that it will cause fumes to be inhaled and always operate the equipment in
a well-ventilated area.
Warning: Electric Shock

Do not operate the equipment with any doors or covers open.

Do not touch wirings or any electric parts inside the equipment during operation.

Do not touch the equipment during operation if the equipment or your body is wet.

Be sure to stop the engine whenever touching Weld output terminals such as when
installing or removing welding cables.

Do not connect welding cables to any part other than Weld output terminals.

Do not insert any metallic objects, such as pins or wires, into AC output receptacles
or remote control receptacles.

Always be sure to turn off all breakers before installing or removing devices using AC
output receptacles.

Always be sure to repair the corresponding earth leakage location when earth
leakage circuit breakers operate.

Always be sure to stop the engine and remove the engine key before performing any
equipment check or maintenance.
Warning: Fire

Always be sure to stop the engine when inspecting fuel or refueling, and absolutely
never perform such tasks near fire or other open flame. Wait until the engine has
completely cooled before inspecting fuel or refueling.

Always be sure to wipe up any spilled fuel or oil.

Spilled fuel and oil accumulates in the spill containment. Do not operate the
equipment with liquid accumulated in the spill containment.

Absolutely never use the equipment if there is a fuel, oil or cooling water leak, and be
sure to always repair the leak before using.

Absolutely never inspect or perform maintenance to the equipment near fire or other
open flame.

Keep any ignitable items (such as fuel, gas and paint) or inflammable items away
from the equipment because the muffler, exhaust fume and other parts attain high
temperatures.

Keep any ignitable items (such as fuel, gas and paint) or inflammable items away
from the work area due to the scattering of weld spatter that occurs during welding.

Provide at least 1 meter (3 feet) of distance between the equipment and walls and
other obstacles, and operate the equipment on a flat surface.

Allow the equipment to cool before covering with protective covers and similar items.

Do not ground wiring of earth leakage circuit breakers of the equipment to piping that
passes through flammable material.
