WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failuretofollowthewarningsandinstructionsmayresultin
electricshock,reand/orseriousinjury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-
operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1. Work area safety
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b. Donotoperatepowertoolsinexplosiveatmospheres,suchasinthepresenceofammableliquids,gasesordust.Power
toolscreatesparkswhichmayignitethedustorfumes.
c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2. Electrical safety
a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools.Unmodiedplugsandmatchingoutletswillreduceriskofelectricshock.
b. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.Waterenteringapowertoolwillincreasetheriskofelectricshock.
d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat,
oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor
use reduces the risk of electric shock.
3. Personal safety
a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while

to operate the generator in a well-ventilated environment or with an aerator. Using a generator indoors will kill you
in minutes. Never use in the home or in a partly enclosed area such as garages. Only use outdoors and far from
open windows doors and vents.
WARNING! Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas that could kill you in minutes. You
cannot smell it, see it, or taste it. Even if you do not smell exhaust fumes, you could still be exposed to carbon
monoxide gas. If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak while using this product, get fresh air right away. See a
doctor. You may have carbon monoxide poisoning.
