INSPECTION/SETUP

General Inspection Prior to Operation Ground Power Tools

When using power tools or electrical equipment requireing AC power from the generator, make sure power tool cord has a ground pin or is double insulated as shown in Figure 5.

NOTICE

Double-insulated power tools and small appliances have specially insulated housings that eliminate the need for a ground pin.These types of double-insulated power cords are designed so that no part of the device will be electrically live even if the internal insulation fails.

Extension Cable

When electric power is to be provided to various tools or loads at some distance from the generator, extension cords are normally used. Cables should be sized to allow for distance in length and amperage so that the voltage drop between the generator and point of use (load) is held to a minimum. Use the cable selection chart (Table 3) as a guide for selecting proper cable size.

DANGER

NEVER use power tools or equipment that do not have a ground capability, the possibility exists of electrocution, electrical shock or burn, which can cause severe bodily harm or even DEATH!
