1. 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. Unmodified 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 inuence 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 a 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 finger 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 a 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 care
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
WARNING! Read all instructions Failure to
follow all instructions listed below may result
in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The
term ’’power tool’’ in all of the warnings listed
below refers to your mains-operated (corded)
power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power
tool.

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.
Important!
When using the equipment, a few safety
precautions must be observed to avoid injuries
and damage. Please read the complete operating
instructions and safety regulations with due care.
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.

2. Special 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
roomsorinthevicinityofeasilyinammable
substances. 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
despitetheexhausthose.Duetothere
hazard, never direct the exhaust hose towards
inammablematerials.
• 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 generators position
while it is working.
• Always switch off the engine when transporting
and refuelling 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 mm2and 100 m for
2.5 mm2.
• 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,
reorsparks.Donotsmoke!
• 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
(LpA) 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.
Factorsinuencingtheactualuserimmissionlevel
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.
