Safety notices for handling flammable fuels
1. WARNING!: Petrol is highly flammable:
2. Store fuel in containers specifically designed for
this purpose
3. Refill the gasoline tank only outdoors and do not
smoke meanwhile.
4. Add fuel before starting the engine. Never remove
the cap of fuel tank or add petrol while the engine
is running or when the engine is hot.
5. If petrol is spilled, do not attempt to start the en-
gine but move the machine away from the area of
spillage and avoid creating any source of ignition
until petrol vapours have dissipated. Replace all
fuel tank and container caps securely.
Adding fuel
• Always switch off the engine before refuelling.
m Attention! Always open the fuel filler cap careful-
ly to decompose slowly the excess pressure.
• Whilst working with the machine high temperatures
can attain on the case. Allow the engine to cool be-
fore refuelling.
m Attention! In case of insufficient cooling of the
machine the fuel may ignite and lead to serious
burns during refuelling.
• Make sure not to fill the tank with too much fuel. Im-
mediately remove the fuel and clean the machine
when spilling fuel.
• Always close the screw plug on the fuel tank in order
to avoid loosening which may occure by vibrations
when using the machine.
m DANGER
Never refuel the engine nearby open flames.
Additional safety instructions while hand-ling with
combustion engines
m DANGER
Combustion engines constitute a special danger dur-
ing operation and refuelling. Always read and note the
warnings. Failure to do so can lead to serious or even
deadly injuries.
1. No changes may be made to the generator.
2. m Attention!
Danger of poisoning, Emissions, fuels and lubri-
cants are toxic. Emissions shall not be inhalated.
3. m Attention!
Risk of burns. Do not touch the exhaust system
or drive unit.
4. Never operate the machine in non ventilated
rooms or in a highly inflammable environment. If
you intend to operate the machine in rooms with
good ventilation, the exhaust gases must be chan-
nelled directly outdoors through an exhaust hose.
m Attention! Toxic exhaust gases can escape
despite the exhaust hose. Due to the fire hazard,
never direct the exhaust hose towards inflamma-
ble materials.
m Risk of explosion!
5.
Never operate the machine in rooms with combus-
tible materials.
6. The speed preset by the manufacturer is not al-
lowed to be changed. The machine or connected
equipment may be damaged.
7. Place the generator at least 1m away from walls
and equipment connected to them.
8. Place the generator in a secure, level position.
Do not turn, tip or change the generator's position
while it is working.
9. Never touch the generator with wet hands.
10. Guard against electric danger.
11. When working outdoors, use only extension ca-
bles that are approved for outdoor use and which
are marked accordingly (H07RN).
12. The overall length of the extension cables used is
not allowed to exceed 1,5 mm
mm for 100 m.

13. Repairs and adjustment work may only be carried
out by authorized trained personnel.
14. Do not touch any mechanically driven or hot parts.
Do not remove the safety guards.
15. The values quoted in the technical data under
sound power level (L
el (L ) are emission values and not necessarily
pA
reliable workplace values. As there is a correla-
tion between emission and immission levels, the
values cannot be taken to reliably determine the
possible need for additional precautions. Factors
influencing the current immission level of the user/
operator include the properties of the work area,
other sound sources etc., e.g. the number of ma-
chines and other neighboring processes, and the
time span over which the user/operator is subject-
ed to the noise. Also, the permitted immission level
can vary from country to country.
