DeWalt DXGNi20E - Adjusting or Making Repairs Safety; Testing for Engine Spark Safety

DO NOT touch hot parts and AVOID hot exhaust
gases.
DO NOT tamper with governors spring, link or other
parts to increase engine speed. Generator supplies
correct rated frequency and voltage when running at
governed speed.
DO NOT modify generator in any way.
DO NOT exceed the generator’s wattage amperage
capacity.
DO NOT twear loose clothing, jewelry or anything that
could be caught in the starter or other rotating parts.
Tie up long hair and remove jewelry.
Excessively high operating speed could result in minor
injury. Excessively low operating speed impose a heavy
load.
Exhaust heat/gases could ignite combustibles, struc-
tures or damage fuel tank causing a fire, resulting in
death or serious injury and/or property damage.
Contact with muffler area could cause burns resulting
in serious injury.
Allow equipment to cool before touching.
Replacement parts must be the same and installed
in the same position as the original parts.
DO NOT touch bare wire or receptacles.
DO NOT operate generator in the rain or wet
weather.
DO NOT allow unqualified persons or children
to operate or service generator.
DO NOT handle generator or electrical cords
while standing in water, while barefoot, or while
hands or feet are wet.
DO NOT use generator with electrical cords
which are worn, frayed, bare or otherwise
damaged.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using generator for backup power, notify
utility company.
Disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug and
place the wire where it cannot contact spark plug.
Use approved spark plug tester.
Starter and other rotating parts could
entangle hands, hair, clothing, or
accessories resulting in serious injury.
DO NOT check for spark with spark plug removed.
Uninstall sparking could cause
fire or electric shock resulting in
death or serious injury.
Use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) in
any damp or highly conductive area, such as
metal decking or steel work.
Exceeding generator wattage/amperage capacity could
damage generator and/or electric devices connected to it.
Start generator and let engine stabilize before connecting
electrical loads.
Connect electrical loads in OFF positions, then turn ON
for operation.
Turn electrical load OFF and disconnect from generator
before stopping generator.
NEVER operate generator without protective housing
or covers.
