GENERAL SAFETY RULES
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Work area
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and
dark areas invite accidents.
b. Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
ammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c. Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
2. Electrical safety
a. Power tools plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use
any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded)
power tool. Unmodied plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord
for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power
tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges
or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of
a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk
of electric shock.
3. Personal safety
a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you are tired or under
the inuence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal injury.
b. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Safety equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.
c. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in
the off-position before plugging in. Carrying
power tools with your nger on the switch or
plugging in power tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.
d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.
e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving
parts.
g. If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of
these devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
4. Power tool use and cars
a. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
b. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not
turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must
be repaired.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/
or the battery pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing power tools. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the power
tool accidentally.
d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions to
operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the
power tools operation. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions and
in the manner intended for the particular type
of power tool, taking into account the working
conditions and the work to be performed. Use of
the power tool for operations different from
those intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
5. Service
a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualied
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the
power tool is maintained.

• 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inammable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rehazard,neverdirecttheexhausthose
towardsinammable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 mm2 and
100 m for 2.5 m2.
• No changes may be made to the settings of
the motor or generator.
• Repairs and adjustment work may only be
carried out by authorised trained personnel.

• 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inuencing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).
