General security instructions

The operator must know the principles of functioning and the structure of the generator and the motor. He
must know how to stop the motor in case of urgency and how to manipulate the controls.

Never let children use this device.

Never let people who do not know these instructions use this device. Local regulations may impose
restrictions on the age of the user.

Please do not use this device when people, especially children, or pets are nearby. Direct them away from
the working area.

The operator or the user are responsible for possible accidents or damage to other persons or to their
property.

Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery as this can get caught in the machinery as it runs.

Use safety equipment. Wear protective gear such as an anti-dust mask, non-slip safety shoes, a helmet or
hearing protection.

Stay vigilant, watch what you are doing and show good sense when you use the generator. Do not use if you
are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medicines.

Install the generator in a place that is well ventilated and make sure that there is at least 1.5 metres between
the generator and the walls of the building or other equipment. Do not place flammable liquids or gases near
the generator.

Do not run the generator in an enclosed or badly-ventilated space. The exhaust gas from the motor contains
carbon monoxide which is toxic and may lead to a loss of consciousness or death.
