7. Before starting the equipment

• Open the packaging and remove the device care-
fully.
• Remove the packaging material as well as the
packaging and transport bracing (if available)
• Check that the delivery is complete.
• Check the device and its spare parts for possible
damage caused by transportation. In the event of
complaints, you must contact the distributor without
delay. Claims at a later stage will not be accepted.
• If possible, store the packaging until the warranty
period has expired
• Before handling the device, make yourself familiar
with it by reading the operating instructions.
• For accessories, consumables and spare parts,
only use original parts. Spare parts are available
from your stockist.
• Include our item number, the device model and
year of manufacture in your order.
m Attention!
The device and packaging materials are not toys!
Children must not be allowed to play with plastic
bags, film and small parts!
m DANGER
There is a risk of swallowing and suffocation!
Electrical safety
• Prior to use, the generator and its electrical equip-
ment (including lines and plug connectors) should
be checked to ensure that there are no defects.
• Never connect the generator to the mains (power
point).
• Keep the cables as short as possible.
• Before connecting the machine, make certain that
the data on the type plate matches with the mains
power data.
• Due to the high mechanical stress, only tough,
rubber-coated flexible cables or equivalent cables
should be used.
Earthing (Fig. 1)
Earthing is needed to disperse static discharge. Con-
nect a cable from one side of the earthing connector
(4) of the generator and from the other side to an
external ground.
ATTENTION! When being used for the first time, mo-
tor oil (15W-40, approx. 0.28 l) and petrol (unleaded
normal petrol) must be put in.
Check the fuel level and the oil, and if necessary top
them up. Make sure you have adequate ventilation.
Ensure that the spark cable is securely in the spark
plug. Unplug any electric device connected to the
generator.

Putting in oil (Fig. 5)
Do not tilt the generator when topping up engine
oil. This could lead to overfilling and damage to the
engine.
1. Place the generator on a flat surface.
2. Remove the screws and the cover (5).
3. Unscrew the oil filler plug (17).
4. Pour in 0.28 litres of engine oil (15W-40).
5. Close the cover (5) and tighten the screws.
Putting in fuel (Fig. 1/8)
m DANGER
Keep away from ignition sources! Always refuel in
well-ventilated rooms or outside.
Allow the generator to cool down for at least 2 min-
utes before removing the tank cover. Slowly loosen
the cover to release the pressure in the tank.
Open the fuel tank cap (2) and, using a filler pipe (not
included in delivery), pour in a maximum of 3 litres of
unleaded fuel into the fuel container. Ensure the tank
level is not exceeded and no fuel is spilled. Use the
fuel filter. Clean up spilled fuel immediately and wait
until the fuel fumes have evaporated (fire hazard).
Close the fuel tank cap (2).

8. Operation

Start the engine (Fig. )
ATTENTION! When starting with the starter grip (6)
you can injure your hand with the sudden kick back.
Wear protective gloves when starting.
In „warm" condition
• Put the on / off switch (10) to the "on" position.
• Rotate the fuel valve (9) to the "ON" position.
• Start the engine with the starter grip (6) by
sharply pulling the handle. If the engine has not
started pull the handle again.
In „cold" condition
• Put the on / off switch (10) to the "on" position.
• Pull out the choke lever (11). (not needed when
warm)
• Rotate the fuel valve (9) to the "ON" position.
• Start the engine with the starter grip (6) by
sharply pulling the handle. If the engine has not
started pull the handle again.
• Push the choke lever (11) back once the engine
has started.
ATTENTION! This socket can be loaded continuously
(S1) with 1000 W and short term (S2) for a maximum
of 5 seconds with 1200 W.
Note: Some electric devices (sabre saws, drills etc.)
can use more electricity when doing heavy duty tasks.
