6. use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your
model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous
when used on another tool.
7. cAuTiON: This generator is not intended to power sensitive electronic equip-
ment* without the addition of an appropriate line conditioner and surge pro-
tector (both not included). Sensitive electronic equipment should be operated
on approved inverter type generators or pure sine wave generators.
If the plugged in product operates abnormally or unusually slow, immediately stop
using the generator as a power source. Always read and adhere to the instruction
manual of the product to be powered, to make sure that it can be safely and efficiently
powered by a portable generator.
Note: When using a generator to provide home standby electricity, a transfer switch
(sold separately) is needed to prevent back feeding power into the utility line.
Connections for standby power to a building electrical system must be made by a
qualified electrician. The connection must isolate the generator power from utility
power, and must comply with all applicable laws and electrical codes.
WARNiNG: Improper connections to a building electrical system can allow electrical
current from the generator to backfeed into the utility lines. Such backfeed may
electrocute utility company workers or others who contact the lines during a power
outage, and the generator may explode, burn, or cause fires when utility power is
restored. Consult the utility company or a qualified electrician.
*Sensitive electronic equipment includes, but is not limited to, audio/video
equipment, some television sets, computers, and printers.
1. Before connecting an appliance or power cord to the generator: Make sure that it
is in good working order. Faulty appliances or power cords can create a potential
for electrical shock.
2. If an appliance begins to operate abnormally, becomes sluggish or stops suddenly,
turn it off immediately. Disconnect the appliance, and determine whether the
problem is the appliance, or if the rated load capacity of the generator has been
exceeded.
3. Make sure that the electrical rating of the tool or appliance does not exceed that of
the generator. Never exceed the maximum power rating of the generator. Power
levels between rated and maximum may be used for no more than 30 minutes.
4. Substantial overloading will open the circuit breaker. Exceeding the time limit for
maximum power operation or slightly overloading the generator may not switch
the circuit breaker or circuit protector OFF, but will shorten the service life of the
generator.
