Additional safety instructions
Setting up the generator
Place the generator at least 1 m away from buil-
dings and the equipment connected to it.
The immediate surroundings must not contain any
ignitable substances or other inflammable sub-
stances.
If you intend to set up the generator in enclosed
rooms it is essential to follow additional regula-
tions concerning fire and explosion safety.
Place the generator in a secure, flat position. Do
not turn, tip or change its position while it is
working.
Do not run the engine in an enclosed room – its
emissions will lead to unconsciousness in a very
short period of time and may even cause death.
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.
Never operate the generator in rain or snow.
Never touch the generator with wet hands.
Important. Only use a two-stroke mixture, in
other words unleaded petrol and two-stroke oil
mixed at a ratio of 50:1 (2%) to fuel the generator.
5. Before using the generator
Check the fuel level and top it up if necessary
Make sure that the generator has sufficient
ventilation
Make sure that the ignition cable is secured to the
spark plug
Inspect the immediate vicinity of the generator
Disconnect any electrical equipment which may
already be connected to the generator
6. Operation
6.1 Starting the engine

6.2 Connecting consumers to the generator
Connect the machine you want to use to the
230V~ socket (3).
Important. Do not exceed the specified load limit
of 780 W.
The generator is suitable for a.c. appliances only.
Do not connect the generator to the household
network as this may result in damage to the
generator itself or to other electrical appliances in
your home.
Please note: When electrical appliances (power jig-
saws, drills, etc.) are used in difficult conditions, they
have a higher level of power consumption (watts or
amps) than that quoted on the manufacturer’s rating
plate.
