  • Page 20 (c) Insert the plug (s) of the electrical appliance(s) into the receptacle. Check the amperage of the receptacles used referring to TABLE and be sure not to take a current exceeding the specified amperage. Be sure that the total wattage of all appliances dose not exceed the rated output of the generator.
  • Page 21 Stop the generator immediately, check the appliance and / or generator for overloading or detect and have repaired as necessary by Makita factory or authorized service center. CAUTION The duplex 120V receptacle is protected by a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter).
  • Page 22 GFCI RECEPTACLE After starting the engine, check the GFCI for proper functioning by the following test procedure. Push blue TEST button, The red RESET button will pop out exposing the word TRIP. Power is now off at the outlets protected by the GFCI, indicating that the device is functioning properly.
  • Page 23 (2) CONNECTING TO DOMESTIC CIRCUITS (HOUSE WIRING) WARNING This generator is neutral grounded type. If a generator is to be connected to residential or commercial power lines, such as a stand-by power source during power outage, all connections must be made by a licensed electrician. Failure in connection may result in death, personal injury, damage to generator, damage to appliances, damage to the building's wiring or fire.

  • Page 28: Wattage Information

    6. WATTAGE INFORMATION Some appliances need a "surge" of energy when starting. This means that the amount of electrical power needed to start the appliance may exceed the amount needed to maintain its use. Electrical appliances and tools normally come with a label indicating voltage, cycles / Hz, amperage (amps) and electrical power needed to run the appliance or tool.
  • Page 29 VOLTAGE DROP IN ELECTRIC EXTENSION CORDS When a long electric extension cord is used to connect an appliance or tool to the generator, a certain amount of voltage drop or loss occurs in the extension cord which reduces the effective voltage available for the appliance or tool. The chart below has been prepared to illustrate the approximate voltage loss when an extension cord of 100 meters is used to connect an appliance or tool to the...
