General Precautions (cont'd)
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 into a polarized outlet in one way, only. 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 a three-wire grounded power cord and a 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 expose generator to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a generator will increase the
risk of electric shock.
• Do not abuse the power cord. Keep power cords away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving
parts. Replace damaged power cords immediately. Damaged power cords increase the risk
of electric shock.
• When operating a power tool outside, use outdoor extensions cords marked "W-A" or "W".
These extension cords are rated for outdoor use, and reduce the risk of electric shock.
• All connections and conduits from the generator to the load must be installed by trained and
licensed electricians, only. Installations must be in compliance with all relevant local, state,
and federal electrical codes and standards, and other regulations where applicable.
• For fixed installations, the generator must be earth-grounded before operation in accordance with
all relevant electrical codes and standards.
• Do not attempt to connect or disconnect wires to the load while standing in water or on wet or
soggy ground.
• Do not touch electrically energized parts of the generator and interconnecting cables or
conductors with any part of the body or with any non-insulated conductive object.
