Always stay alert and watch what you are doing.
Always ensure the maintenance of electrical
components is carried out by a suitably qualified
person.
Always ensure all users are physically able and
competent to handle the size, weight and power
of tools used with the Generator and have
received appropriate training to perform the task.
Always prevent body contact with grounded

the work is competent and that appropriate
equipment is selected and used.
Never leave inflammable objects near the
generator.
PERSONAL SAFETY PROTECTION
Always wear approved footwear and headgear
when working on a building site or when heavy
weights and overhead working is involved.
Always ensure that all long hair and loose
clothing, ties, scarves, jewellery, etc., are
secured or removed.
Always use approved hearing protection. High
sound levels can cause permanent hearing loss.

Never operate the generator or power tools near
other people unless they are wearing appropriate
safety equipment also.
Never direct air at yourself, anyone else or at
animals.
SPECIFIC OPERATING HAZARDS
Always use the handle to lift the Generator. Do
not move it by any other means.
Always place the generator on a firm and level
surface.
Always be careful when handling the generator as
components such as the exhaust can become
very hot and remain hot for some time after use.
Never tamper with, or attempt to adjust the
engine throttle/idling speed as this is pre-set.
Never use the generator without the air filter in
place.
Never deface the rating label on the same side
as the ON/OFF switch. Replace if illegible.
Never make any alterations to the generator and
only use it for the task for which it has been
designed.
Never leave power tools/appliances connected to
the generator, when not in use.
N e v e r l e a v e t h e g e n e r a t o r r u n n i n g w h e n
unattended.
Never cover the generator or restrict air flow
around the machine whilst operating.
Never operate in hazardous locations where
there is a risk of explosion of petrol fumes,
leaking gas or explosive dust.
The Alternator is of the brushless type so there is very little maintenance other than that associated with
the 2 stroke engine.

The range of uses is vast and the available
power can be affected by the proximity to
the generator (don’t forget, a long extension
lead from generator to appliance will reduce
the available power).
