Electrical safety
1. 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.
2. The power generating unit must not be connected
to another power source such as the power sup-
ply of energy supply companies. In special cases
where a reserve connection to existing electrical
systems is provided, this must only be carried out
by a qualified electrician who will take into account
the differences between the operated equipment
using the public mains and operation of the power
generating unit. According to this part of ISO 8528,
the differences in the operating manual must be
specified.
3. Protection against electric shocks depends on
the circuit breakers which are matched precisely
to the power generating unit. If a circuit breaker
must be replaced, this should be done using a cir-
cuit breaker with the same rating and performance
characteristics.
Warning! This power tool generates an electromag-
netic field during operation. This field can impair active
or passive medical implants under certain conditions.
In order to prevent the risk of serious or deadly injuries,
we recommend that persons with medical implants
consult with their physician and the manufacturer of
the medical implant prior to operating the power tool.
ATTENTION: Use only E10 unleaded petrol as fuel.
m Use of petrol
m Danger to life! Petrol is toxic and highly flam-
mable.
• Only store petrol in containers (canisters) designed
and tested for this purpose. The tank caps must al-
ways be properly screwed on and tightened. Defec-
tive caps must be replaced for safety reasons.
• Keep petrol away from sparks, open flames, per-
manent flames, heat sources and other sources of
ignition. Do not smoke!
• Refuel outdoors only and do not smoke while refu-
elling.
• Before refuelling, switch off the combustion engine
and let it cool down.

• Petrol must be filled before starting the combustion
engine. While the combustion engine runs or if the
machine is hot, the fuel cap must not be opened and
petrol must not be filled.
• Open the fuel cap carefully and slowly. Wait for the
pressure to equalise and only then remove the tank
cover completely.
• Use a suitable funnel or filler pipe for refuelling so
that no fuel can spill onto the combustion engine and
housing or lawn.
• Do not overfill the fuel tank!
• To leave room for the fuel to expand, never fill the
fuel tank beyond the lower edge of the filling nozzle.
Observe additional information in the combustion
engine user manual.
• If petrol has overflowed, do not start the combustion
engine until the petrol-contaminated area has been
cleaned. Avoid starting the engine until the fuel va-
pours have evaporated (wipe dry).
• Always wipe up spilled fuel immediately.
• If petrol has got on clothing, it must be changed.
• The tank cover must be properly screwed on and
tightened after each refuelling operation. The device
must not be put into operation without the original
tank cover screwed on.
• For safety reasons, check fuel line, fuel tank, fuel
cap and connections regularly for damage, ageing
(brittleness), tight fit and leaks and replace if nec-
essary.
• Only empty the tank outdoors.
• Never use beverage bottles or similar to dispose of
or store operating materials, such as fuel. People,
especially children, could be tempted to drink from it.
• Never store the device with petrol in the tank inside
a building. Any fuel vapours produced can come into
contact with naked flames or sparks and ignite.
• Do not place the device and fuel tank near heaters,
radiant heaters, welding machines or other sources
of heat.
Risk of explosion!
If a defect is detected on the tank, the tank cover or
on fuel-carrying parts (fuel lines) during operation, the
combustion engine must be switched off immediately.
Then consult a specialist dealer.
Residual risks
The electric tool has been built according to state-
of-the-art and the recognised technical safety rules.
However, individual residual risks can arise during op-
eration.
