Additional safety rules for generators

1. 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.

2. Do not operate in a confined area.

Exhaust gases,

smoke or fumes could reach dangerous concentrations.

3. The output of this generator is potentially lethal.

The

generator should not be connected to a fixed electrical

installation except by an appropriately licensed person.

4. Protect your generator.

This generator is NOT

WEATHERPROOF and should not be exposed to direct

sunlight, high ambient temperature and damp, wet or

high humidity conditions.

5. Do not smoke while refuelling.

This is potentially

dangerous as it may ignite the fuel and cause

an explosion.

6. Take care not to spill fuel.

When refuelling the

generator ensure that the engine has been switched off.

Prevent the spilling of fuel as this may also ignite with

the hot engine. Never refuel whilst the engine running.

7. Be careful where you store the generator.

Store the

generator in a dry area away from inflammable liquids.

8. Keep your distance.

The generator emits exhaust

fumes. As a safety precaution do not stand close to

the unit whilst it is in operation. Ensure bystanders also

keep their distance.

9. Never fill fuel tank indoors.

Never fill fuel tank when

engine is running or hot. Do not smoke when filling

fuel tank.

10. Engine speed has been factory set to provide

safe operation.

Tampering with the engine speed

adjustment could result in overheating of attachments

and could cause a fire. Never attempt to “speed-up” the

engine to obtain more performance. The output of this

generator is electronically controlled.

You MUST unplug any load from the generator before

starting and stopping to prevent permanent damage to

any appliances.

Unpacking

Due to modern mass production techniques, it is unlikely

that your GMC Power Tool is faulty or that a part is missing.

If you find anything wrong, do not operate the tool until the

parts have been replaced or the fault has been rectified.

Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury.
