9. Ensure you use oil-mix fuel. Ensure that you mix  
40 parts unleaded fuel to 1 part 2 stroke grade oil. If not  
mixed correctly at 40:1, the engine will overheat and  
cause damage to your generator.  
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.  
10. Never fill fuel tank indoors. Never fill fuel tank when  
engine is running or hot. Do not smoke when filling  
fuel tank.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
You MUST unplug any load from the generator before  
starting and stopping to prevent permanent damage to  
any appliances.  
6. Take care not to spill fuel. When refuelling the generator  
ensure that the engine has been switched off. Prevent the  
spilling of fuel as this may also ignite with the hot engine.  
Never refuel whilst the engine running.  
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.  
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.

2. You need to mix both unleaded fuel and 2 stroke  
oil together.  
3. The proportion should be 40 parts unleaded fuel and  
1 part 2 stroke oil.  
Quick reference/common fuel mixture requirements for  
40:1 is:  
- 1 Litre of unleaded fuel mixed with 25mL of 2 stroke oil.  
- 5 Litres of unleaded fuel mixed with 125mL of 2 stroke oil.  
4. The mixture should be poured into an approved fuel  
container. This fuel container should be clearly marked  
as a fuel container, sealed and made from fuel  
resistant material.  
5. Once the mixture has been poured, shake the fuel  
container well to ensure that the contents have been  
thoroughly mixed.  
5. Slowly pull the recoil starter until you feel it engage and  
then pull it briskly.  
Filling the fuel tank  
1. Switch off the engine.  
2. Remove the fuel cap (2) by turning anticlockwise.  
3. Pour the fuel/oil mix from the fuel container into the fuel  
tank (3). Because fuel expands, DO NOT FILL to the tip  
of the tank.  
4. Replace fuel cap and turn clockwise to lock.  
Note: When the engine is started for the very first time, it  
will require a number of attempts to start until the fuel has  
travelled from the tank to the engine.

prior to connecting to the generator for recharging.  
3. Turn the fuel tap (4) anti-  
clockwise to the ‘off’ position.  
Do Not charge the battery in a confined space. The  
charge area should be open with adequate ventilation.  
Connecting apparatus to the generator - AC  
Prior to charging, remove the filler caps and top up the  
cells with distilled water to the correct level if needed.  
To charge your car battery, connect the alligator clips to the  
corresponding terminals on your battery. The red lead goes  
to the positive (+) terminal and the black lead goes to the  
negative (-) terminal. This DC cord has been supplied with  
the unit. The generator will charge batteries up to 500CCA  
capacity provided the battery is in reasonable condition.  
Batteries of larger capacity may charge but will depend on  
the condition and also the level of charge in the battery. In  
cases where the current exceeds the rating of the Generator,  
the circuit breaker on the DC side will open circuit, and will  
need to be re set to continue. (Refer to the AC and DC  
overload cut out section of this manual).  
1. Start the engine. Allow the  
engine to run for a couple of  
minutes to warm up prior to  
connecting any apparatus to  
the generator. The green power  
on light (12) will illuminate

operational and power is  
available at the socket.  
WARNING. Prior to connecting any product to the generator,  
check the rating label of the product. The generator is rated  
at 650W so if the product being connected is higher than  
650W, the protective cut out on the generator may operate  
to prevent over load damage to the generator. The generator  
will withstand short operation and spikes up to 800W.  
2. For AC current, plug the power cord into the AC output  
socket (10).  
It should also be very clearly understood that output voltage  
fluctuations will occur when various loads are connected

and disconnected. It is best to always use a voltage or surge  
protector with this generator. It is NOT recommended to  
connect any electronic equipment to the generator such  
as computers, televisions, or stereo equipment. They  
are very sensitive to the input supply fluctuations and  
could be damaged if run off this generator. This warning  
also includes caravans where electronic equipment is  
incorporated as part of the wiring.  
Generator maintenance  
Your generator should be kept clean and dry at all times.  
The generator should not be stored or operated in environments  
that includes excessive moisture, dust or any corrosive vapours.  
If these substances are on the generator, clean with a cloth or  
soft bristle brush. Do not use a garden hose or anything with  
water pressure to clean the generator. Water may enter the  
cooling air slots and could possibly damage the rotor, stator and  
the internal windings of the generator head.  
AC and DC overload cut out  
IMPORTANT: Exceeding the rated capacity of your  
generator can result in serious damage to your generator  
and connected apparatus.  
Storage  
If you are going to store your generator for more than  
30 days, use the following information as a guide to  
prepare the generator for storage.
