Keep this manual in a safe place, so that the information is available at all times. If you give the equipment to any other person, hand over these operating instructions and safety regulations as well. We cannot accept any liability for damage or accidents which arise due to a failure to follow these instructions and the safety instructions.
Explanation of the warning signs on the machine (Fig. 15)
- Important. Read the operating instructions.
- Important. Hot parts. Keep your distance.
- Important. Switch off the engine before refueling.
- Important. Never operate in non-ventilated rooms.
1. General safety instructions:
●No changes may be made to the generator.
●Only original parts may be used for maintenance and accessories.
● Important: Danger of poisoning, do not inhale emissions.
●Children are to be kept away from the generator.
● Important: Risk of burns. Do not touch the exhaust system or drive unit.
●Wear suitable ear protection when in the vicinity of the equipment.
●Important: Petrol and petrol fumes are highly combustible or explosive.
●Never operate the generator in non-ventilated rooms or in easily inflammable adjacency. When operating the generator in rooms with good ventilation, the exhaust gases must be channeled directly outdoors through an exhaust hose.
Important: Toxic exhaust gases can escape despite the exhaust hose. Due to the fire hazard, never direct the exhaust hose towards inflammable materials.
●Risk of explosion: Never operate the generator in rooms with combustible materials.
●The speed preset by the manufacturer is not allowed to be changed. The generator or connected equipment may be damaged.
- Secure the generator against shifting and toppling during transport.
●Place the generator at least 1m away from buildings and the equipment connected to it.
- Place the generator in a secure, level position. Do not turn, tip or change the generator's position while it is working.
●Always switch off the engine when transporting and refueling the generator.
●Make sure that when you refuel the generator no fuel is spilt on the engine or exhaust pipe.
●Never operate the generator in rain or snow.
●Never touch the generator with wet hands.
●Guard against electric danger. When working outdoors, use only extension cables that are approved for outdoor use and which are marked accordingly (H07RN..).
●The overall length of the extension cables used may not exceed 50 m for 1.5 mm ^2 and 100 m for 2.5 m ^2 .
●No changes may be made to the settings of the motor or generator.
●Repairs and adjustment work may only be carried out by authorized trained personnel.
●Do not refuel or empty the tank near open lights, fire or sparks. Do not smoke!
- Do not touch any mechanically driven or hot parts. Do not remove the safety guards.
- Do not expose the tools to damp or dust.
Permissible ambient temperature – 10 to +40 °C, max. altitude above sea level 1000 m, relative humidity: 90 % (non-condensing)
●The generator is driven by a combustion engine, which produces heat in the area of the exhaust (on the opposite side of the sockets) and the exhaust outlet. You should therefore keep clear of these surfaces because of risk of skin burns.
●The values quoted in the technical data for sound power level (LWA) and sound pressure level (LWM) are emission values and not necessarily reliable workplace values. As there is a correlation between emission and immission levels, the values are not a reliable basis for deciding on any additional precautions which may be needed. Factors influencing the actual user immission level include the properties of the work area, other sound sources etc., the number of machines and other processes in the vicinity, as well as the time span in which the operator is subjected to the noise. Also, the permitted immission level can vary from country to country. Nevertheless, with this information the user is able to make a better assessment of the dangers and risks involved.
●Never use a faulty or damaged electrical equipment (this also applies to extension cables and plug connections).
CAUTION!
Read all safety regulations and instructions.
Any errors made in following the safety regulations and instructions may result in an electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Keep all safety regulations and instructions in a safe place for future use.
