General Safety Precautions
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
WARNING!
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAN RESULT IN SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH.
CAUTION:
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAN ALSO RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE EQUIPMENT
AND/OR THE ITEM YOU ARE WORKING ON OR WITH.
Carbon Monoxide
•
Carbon Monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas. Breathing exhaust that contains this poisonous gas can cause
unconsciousness and may lead to death.
•
The engine exhaust from this product contains chemicals recognized by the state of California to cause cancer,
birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
•
When this tool is running, ensure that the area is well ventilated. Never run the engine in an enclosed area. Run
the engine in an open area or with an exhaust evacuation system in an enclosed area.
•
NEVER use a generator inside homes, garages, crawlspaces, or other partially 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!
THE EXHAUST CONTAINS POISONOUS CARBON MONOXIDE GAS THAT CAN CAUSE LOSS OF
CONSCIOUSNESS AND MAY LEAD TO DEATH.

This product requires oil and fuel. THE ENGINE WILL NOT START WITHOUT OIL. Work in well ventilated area. Keep
cigarettes, flames or sparks away from the work area or where gasoline is stored.
WARNING!
GASOLINE IS EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE AND IS EXPLOSIVE UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS. KEEP
