7.Do not expose generators to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a generator will increase the risk of electric shock.

8.Do not abuse Power Cords. Never use a Power Cord to carry any tool or pull the Plug from an outlet. Keep Power Cords away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged Power Cords immediately. Damaged Power Cords increase the risk of electric shock.

9.When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked “W-A” or “W”. These extension cords are rated for outdoor use, and reduce the risk of electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

10.Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a generator. Do not use a 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.

11.Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

12.Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the ON/Off Switch is in its OFF position and the ignition key is removed from the Ignition Switch (45) when the generator is not in use.

13.Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the generator on. A wrench or an adjusting key that is left attached to a rotating part of the generator may result in personal injury.

14.Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

15.Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.

16.Never run the generator in an enclosed garage or any other type of enclosed structure without a proper, leak-free ventilation shaft. Carbon Monoxide, an odorless, colorless deadly gas may accumulate and cause serious injury or death.

GENERATOR USE AND CARE

17.Do not overload the generator. Use the correct generator for your application. The correct generator will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.

18.Do not use the generator if the Power Switch does not turn it on or off. Any generator that cannot be controlled with the Power Switch is dangerous and must be properly repaired or replaced.
