If you hand the product over to another person, please hand over this operating manual / safety instructions as well. We accept no liability for accidents or damage that occur due to a failure to observe this manual and the safety instructions.

• Children must be protected by ensuring that they stay a safe distance away from the generator.

• Fuel is combustible and highly flammable. Do fuel the unit during operation. Do not fuel the unit when some- one is smoking or near open flames. Do not spill any fuel.

• Some parts of the reciprocating internal combustion engine are hot and may cause burns. The warnings on the power generator must be observed. DANGER Danger of poisoning Exhaust gases, fuel and lubricants are poisonous, ex- haust gases may not be inhaled. ATTENTION Risk of fire Fuel and fuel vapours are highly flammable or explo- sive.

• Engine exhaust gases are toxic. The power generator must not be operated in unventilated rooms. If the power generator is to be operated in well-ventilated rooms, the exhaust gases must be discharged directly outside via an exhaust gas hose. Additional require- ments for protection against fire and explosion must also be observed. Toxic exhaust gases can also es- cape when operating an exhaust hose. Because of the risk of fire, the exhaust hose must never be direct- ed at flammable materials.

• Power generating units should only be used up to their rated power under the rated ambient conditions. If the power generating unit is used in conditions that do not comply with the reference conditions according to ISO 8528-8:2016, 7.1, and if the cooling of the en- gine or generator is impaired, e.g. as a result of oper- ation in restricted areas, a reduction in power is re- quired.

• It is prohibited to make any modifications to the power generator.

• The manufacturer's preset speed must not be changed. Power generator or connected devices may be damaged.

• Never operate the power generator in rooms with highly flammable substances. ATTENTION Hot surfaces! Danger of burns, do not touch exhaust system and drive unit. ATTENTION Wear hearing protection! Use suitable hearing protection when you are near the device.

• Do not touch any mechanically moving or hot parts. Do not remove any protective covers.

• Only original parts may be used for maintenance and accessories.

• Repair and adjustment work may only be carried out by authorised specialist personnel.

• Protect yourself from electrical hazards.

• Never touch the power generator with wet hands.

• Only use approved and appropriately identified exten- sion cables for use outdoors (H07RN).

• Never operate the power generator during rain or snowfall.

• Always stop the engine when transporting and refuel- ling.

• Do not empty the tank near open light, fire or sparks. Smoking prohibited!

• Do not use the power generator in a thunderstorm - risk of lightning strike!

• Provide a secure, level place for the power generator. Turning and tilting or changing location during opera- tion are forbidden.

• Place the power generator at least 1 m away from walls or connected devices.

• Values specified in the technical data under sound power level (LwA) and sound pressure level (LpA) represent emission levels and are not necessarily safe working levels. Since there is a correlation between emission and exposure levels, it cannot be reliably used to determine any additional precautionary mea- sures that may be required. Factors influencing the current exposure level of the worker include the char- acteristics of the workspace, other noise sources, air- borne noise, etc., such as the number of machines and other adjacent processes and the length of time an operator is exposed to the noise. The permitted ex- posure level may also vary from country to country. Nevertheless, this information will enable the operator of the machine to make a better assessment of the risks and hazards. If necessary, acoustical measure- ments should be taken after installation to determine the sound pressure level.

• Observe the electrical safety regulations applicable to the place where the power generator is used. 22 | GB www.scheppach.com5.2 Electrical safety

• Prior to use, the generator and its electrical equipment (including lines and plug connectors) should be checked to ensure that there are no defects.

• The power generating unit must not be connected to another power source such as the power supply of en- ergy supply companies. In special cases where a re- serve connection to existing electrical systems is pro- vided, this must only be carried out by a qualified elec- trician who will take into account the differences be- tween the operated equipment using the public mains and operation of the power generating unit. According to this part of ISO 8528, the differences in the operat- ing manual must be specified.

• Protection against electric shocks depends on the cir- cuit breakers which are matched precisely to the pow- er generating unit. If a circuit breaker must be re- placed, this should be done using a circuit breaker with the same rating and performance characteristics.

• Due to high mechanical loads, only durable rubber hose lines (per IEC 60245-4) or equivalent equipment should be used.

• If extension leads or mobile distribution networks are used, the resistance value must not exceed 1.5 Ω. As a guideline value, the total length of lines for a cross- section of 1.5 mm² should not exceed 60 m, and for a cross-section of 2.5 mm², 100 m should not be ex- ceeded. WARNING Comply with the electrical safety regulations applicable to the place where the power generators are used. WARNING Consider the requirements and precautionary measures in case of re-supply of a system by power generators depending on the protective measures of this system and the applicable directives.
