WARNING! When using mains-powered tools, basic safety precautions, including the following, should
always be followed to reduce risk of re, electric shock, personal injury and material damage.
Read the whole manual carefully and make sure you know how to switch the tool off in an emergency, before
operating the tool.
Save these instructions and other documents supplied with this tool for future reference.
The petrol generator has been designed to output 240V only. Always check that the power supply corresponds to the
voltage on the rating plate.
Note: The supply of 230V and 240V tools are interchangeable for Australia and New Zealand.
Using an Extension Lead
Always use an approved extension lead suitable for the power output from this generator. Before use, inspect the extension
lead for signs of damage, wear and ageing. Replace the extension lead if damaged or defective. When using an extension
lead on a reel, always unwind the lead completely. Use of an extension lead not suitable for the power input of the tool or
which is damaged or defective may result in a risk of re and electric shock.
IMPORTANT! When using the equipment, a few safety precautions must be observed to avoid injuries and
damage. Please read the complete operating manual with due care. Keep this manual in a safe place so that the
information is available at all times. If you give the equipment to any other person, give them these operating
instructions as well.
We cannot accept any liability for damage or accidents which arise due to a failure to follow these instructions and
the safety information.
• The generator is designed to give safe and dependable service if operated according to instructions.
• Read and understand the Owner’s Manual before operating the generator. Failure to do so could result in personal injury
or equipment damage.
• Gasoline is extremely ammable and explosive under certain conditions. Refuel in a well ventilated area with the engine
stopped.
• Keep away from cigarette, smoke and sparks when re-fuelling the generator. Always refuel in a well ventilated location.
• Prevent the spilling of fuel as this may also ignite with the hot motor. Wipe up spilled gasoline at once. Never refuel whilst
the engine running.
• Connections for standby power to a building’s electrical system must be made by a qualied electrician and must comply
with all applicable laws and electrical codes. Improper connections can allow electrical current from the generator to back
feed into the utility lines. Such back feed may electrocute utility company workers or others who contact the lines during
a power outage, and when utility power is restored, the generator may explode, burn, or cause res in the building’s
electrical system.
• Store the generator in a dry area away from inammable liquids.
• Always make a pre-operation inspection before you start the engine. You may prevent an accident or equipment damage.
• Place the generator at least 1m (3ft) away from buildings or other equipment during operation. ALWAYS operate
generator a minimum of 2 meters from any conductive surface eg. metals.
• Persons who are tted with a heart pacemaker, or similar medical conditions should take care when using this device.
Even the extra low voltage of the Battery charging output should not be handled by a person with medical conditions as or
similar to the above.
• Operate the generator on a level surface. If the generator is tilted, fuel spillage may result.
• Do not operate in a hazardous location. Such areas include where there is a risk of explosion of petrol fumes, leaking gas
or explosive dust.
• Know how to stop the generator quickly and understand operation of all the controls. Never permit anyone to operate the
generator without proper instructions.
• Keep children and pets away from the generator when it is in operation.
• Keep away from rotating parts while the generator is running.
• The generator is a potential source of electrical shocks when misused; do not operate with wet hands.
• Generator can be operated in light rain and mist. IP23M weather proof rating.
• Your power tool should only be passed on with these instructions.
