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 motor has been switched off.
Prevent the spilling of fuel as this may also ignite with the
hot motor. 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. Ensure the generator has oil. Before commencing
the generator, ensure that the unit has been filled with
SAE#30 4 stroke oil.
10. Never fill fuel tank indoors. Never fill fuel tank
when engine is running or hot. Do not smoke when
filling fuel tank.
11. 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. Both the output
voltage and frequency will be thrown out of standard by
this practice, endangering attachments and the user.
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.
