Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas
invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence
of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Generators create sparks which may
ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep bystanders, children and visitors away while operating a generator.
Provide barriers or shields as needs.
Personal Safety
Stay alert.
Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating
a generator. Do not use 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.
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.
Avoid accidental starting.
Make sure the power switch is in its “OFF”
position and disconnect the spark plug wire when not in use.
Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the generator on.
A
wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the generator may
result in personal injury.
Do not overreach.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Use safety equipment.
Always wear eye protection. Wear ANSI approved
safety impact eye goggles. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hardhat, or
hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
Do not force 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.
Do not use the generator if the power switch does not turn it off.
Any
generator that cannot be controlled with the power switch is dangerous and
must be replaced.
