Electrical Safety

Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded

in accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong

or modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs.

Grounding provides a low-resistance path to carry electricity away from the user

in the event of an electrical malfunction.

Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug, where one blade is

wider than the other. This plug fits in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug

does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug.

If it still does not fit, contact a

qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any

way. Double insulation eliminates the need for the three-wire grounded power

cord and grounded power supply system.

Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and

refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.

Do not abuse the power cord for your tools or equipment. Keep power cords away

from heat, oil, sharp edges, o

r moving parts. Replace damaged power cords

immediately. Damaged power cords increase the risk of electric shock.

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.

Connect the generator only to a load or electrical system (120 volt) that is

compatible with the electrical characteristics and rated capacities of the

generator.

Before servicing equipment powered by the generator, disconnect the equipment

from its power input.

Insulate all connections and disconnected wires.

Guard against electric shock. Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces such

as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerator enclosures.

IMPROPER CONNECTIONS TO A BUILDING CAN ALLOW

ELECTRICAL CURRENT TO BACK FEED INTO UTILITY LINES,

CREATING AN ELECTROCUTION HAZARD.

• CONNECTIONS TO A BUILDING MUST ISOLATE THE GENERATOR

POWER FROM UTILITY POWER AND COMPLY WITH ALL

APPLICABLE LAWS AND ELECTRICAL CODES.

• All con

nections and conduits from the generator to the load must only be

installed by trained and licensed electricians, and in compliance with all

relevant local, state, and federal electrical codes and standards, and other

regulations where applicable.

• The generator must be earth-grounded for fixed installations in accordance

with all relevant electrical codes and standards before operation.
