being familiar with your product's controls and by ob-
serving safe operating procedures and safety signs.
Do not expose the unit to excessive moisture, dust,
dirt or corrosive vapors. Never attempt to modify the
product. Always use your common sense to avoid all sit-
uations considered beyond your capability. Do not use
the unit while you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or any other medication. Keep children
and bystanders away while operating. Never allow chil-
dren or people unfamiliar with these instructions to
use the machine. Local laws can restrict the minimum

CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARDS
Operate the generator only outdoors. Never run
the engine indoors as it exhausts poisonous car-
bon monoxide, an odorless and colorless gas. In-
haling carbon monoxide will cause nausea, faint-
ing or death.
FIRE AND BURN HAZARDS
Do not use in areas with high risk of fire. The ex-
haust system gets hot enough to ignite flammable
materials.
Some parts of the unit become very hot during op-
eration and you should pay attention not to touch
them in order to avoid getting burned. Let it cool
before storing it.
Never smoke near the unit. Potential sources of
fire or spark should be kept away. Pay attention
to fire hazards when refueling the unit. If a fire
occurs, use an appropriate fire extinguisher espe-
cially designed for oil and gasoline fire.
FUEL AND OIL HAZARDS
Gasoline and oil are toxic and flammable. Follow
the instructions provided by each manufacturer
before use.
Make sure that there is some distance between
any spare gasoline tank and the unit, to prevent
unnecessary danger. Refuel only outdoors in a
well-ventilated area with the engine off. Do not
refuel during operation. Do not overfill the fuel
tank. Never smoke near gasoline. Keep sources
of fire and spark away. Always store gasoline in
approved containers. Make sure that any and
all spilled fuel and oil has been wiped off before
starting the engine.
Slowly open the fuel tank to allow the pressure
inside to decrease gradually.
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Always wear appropriate and certified protective
equipment when operating the unit. Always wear

The noise and vibration levels shown in these instruc-
tions are the maximum levels for use of the machine.
Insufficient maintenance has a significant impact on
vibration and noise emissions. Consequently, it is
necessary to take preventive steps to eliminate pos-
sible damage due to high levels of noise and stress
from vibration. Maintain the machine well, wear
ear protection devices and take breaks while work-
ing. Operating the machine with a stable speed and
griping the handles firmly with suitable force can
decrease the vibration level. During a working day,
you shall take frequent and adequate breaks to pre-
vent damage from vibration and damage to the ears.
