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 in a polarized outlet only one

way. 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 the three-wire grounded power cord and 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 an outdoor extension cord

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 only be

installed by trained and licensed electricians, and in compliance with all

relevant local, state, and federal electrical codes and standards, and

other regulations where applicable.
The generator must be earth-grounded for fixed installations in

accordance with all relevant electrical codes and standards before

operation.
Do not attempt to connect or disconnect load connections 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.
