during refueling.
• 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 or-
der to avoid loosening which may occure by vibra-
tions when using the machine.

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 device.
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.
5. m Risk of explosion!
6. Never operate the machine in rooms with combus-
tible materials.
7. Secure the device against shifting and toppling
during transport.
8. Make sure that when you refuel the device no fuel
is spilt on the engine or exhaust pipe.
9. Repairs and adjustment work may only be carried
out by authorized trained personnel.
10. Do not touch any mechanically driven or hot parts.
Do not remove the safety guards.
11. The values quoted in the technical data under
sound power level (L ) and sound pressure lev-
WA
el (L ) are emission values and not necessarily
PA
reliable workplace values. As there is a corre-
lation 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 num-
ber of machines and other neighboring processes,
and the time span over which the user/operator is
subjected to the noise. Also, the permitted immis-
sion level can vary from country to country. Never-
theless, this information makes it possible for the
user to be able to make a better assessment of the
dangers and risks involved.
12. Never put any items into the ventilation openings.
This applies even when the device is switched off.
Non-observance may lead to injury, or damage to
the device.
13. Keep the generator free of oil, dirt and other im-
purities.
14. Ensure the sound absorber and air filter work
properly. These parts serve as flame protection in
case of misfire.
15. Stop the engine:
- whenever you leave the machine
- before refueling
16. Always close the fuel valve when the machine is
not in operation.
17. Never use the choke lever to stop the engine.

Remaining hazards
The machine has been built using modern technology
in accordance with recognized safety rules. Some re-
maining hazards, however, may still exist.
• Even when all safety measures are taken, some re-
maining hazards which are not yet evident may still
be present.
• Remaining hazards can be minimized by following
the safety instructions as well as the instructions in
the chapter Authorized use and in the entire operat-
ing manual.
• Always keep hands away from the work area when
the machine is running.
• Thoroughly inspect the area to be worked, keep the
working area clean and free of debris to prevent
tripping. Operate on a flat level ground.
• Never place any part of your body where it would
be in danger if movement should occur during as-
sembly, installation, and operation, maintenance,
repairing or moving.
• Keep all bystanders, children, and pets at least 23
meters (75 feet) away. If you are approached, stop
the unit immediately.
• Do not mount on dump box and never carry pas-
sengers.
• Never park the machine in a place with unstable
ground which could give way, particularly when it
is full.
• Disengage clutch lever before starting the engine.
