Factors influencing the current exposure level of the
worker include the characteristics of the workspace,
other noise sources, airborne noise, etc., such as the
number of machines and other adjacent processes
and the length of time an operator is exposed to the
noise. The permitted exposure level may also vary
from country to country.Nevertheless, this information
will enable the operator of the machine to make a bet-
ter assessment of the risks and hazards. If necessary,
acoustical measurements should be taken after instal-
lation to determine the sound pressure level.
• Observe the electrical safety regulations applicable to
the place where the power generator is used.
5.1
Electrical safety
• Prior to use, the generator and its electrical equipment
(including lines and plug connectors) should be
checked to ensure that there are no defects.
• The power generating unit must not be connected to
another power source such as the power supply of en-
ergy supply companies. In special cases where a re-
serve connection to existing electrical systems is pro-
vided, this must only be carried out by a qualified elec-
trician who will take into account the differences be-
tween 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 operat-
ing manual must be specified.
• Protection against electric shocks depends on the cir-
cuit breakers which are matched precisely to the pow-
er generating unit. If a circuit breaker must be re-
placed, this should be done using a circuit breaker
with the same rating and performance characteristics.
• Due to high mechanical loads, only durable rubber
hose lines (per IEC 60245-4) or equivalent equipment
should be used.
• If extension leads or mobile distribution networks are
used, the resistance value must not exceed 1.5 Ω. As
a guideline value, the total length of lines for a cross-
section of 1.5 mm² should not exceed 60 m, and for a
cross-section of 2.5 mm², 100 m should not be ex-
ceeded.
WARNING
Comply with the electrical safety regulations applicable
to the place where the power generators are used.
WARNING
Consider the requirements and precautionary measures
in case of re-supply of a system by power generators
depending on the protective measures of this system
and the applicable directives.
5.2
Battery safety
• To avoid spark formation due to a short circuit, always
disconnect the negative cable (-) from the battery first
and reconnect it last.
• Never smoke during work on the battery. Always keep
sparks, naked flames and other heat sources away
from the battery.
26 | GB
• Special care must be taken when using jumper ca-
bles. Follow relevant instructions to avoid damage to
the device (in particular, do not operate the starter for
more than 10 seconds).
• Never open the battery and do not drop it.
• Always charge the battery in a closed room with good
ventilation, dry and protected against the weather.
• Do not short-circuit battery connections.
• Deformed or defective (leaking) batteries must not be
used and must be replaced and disposed of in an en-
vironmentally friendly manner. Observe the country-
specific regulations.
• If the batteries are defective, liquid may leak out.
Avoid contact! In case of accidental contact, rinse with
water. If the liquid gets into your eyes, seek additional
medical attention. Leaking battery fluid can cause skin
irritation, burns and chemical burns.
• Regularly visually inspect the connection cables on
the battery for damage. Have damaged cables re-
placed by a specialist.
• Never bypass the fuses. Never use a fuse with a rat-
ing other than the prescribed rating (amperes).
WARNING
This power tool generates an electromagnetic field
during operation. This field can impair active or passive
medical implants under certain circumstances. In order
to prevent the risk of serious or deadly injuries, we rec-
ommend that persons with medical implants consult
with their physician and the manufacturer of the medical
implant prior to operating the power tool.
5.3
Handling fuel
ATTENTION
Only use diesel as fuel.
DANGER
Danger to life!
Fuel is toxic and highly flammable.
• Only store fuel in containers (canisters) designed for
this purpose.
• The tank caps must always be properly screwed on
and tightened.
• For safety reasons, the fuel tanks and other fuel caps
must be replaced if damaged.
• Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, permanent
flames, heat sources and other sources of ignition.
Do not smoke!
• Refuel outdoors only and do not smoke while refuel-
ling.
• Before refuelling, switch off the combustion engine
and let it cool down.
• Fuel must be filled before starting the engine. While
the engine is running or immediately after switching
off the product, do not open the fuel filler cap or add
fuel.
