Taurus BT-PG 2000/1 - Explanation of the Warning Signs on the Machine; General Safety Instructions

Important!
When using the equipment, a few safety
precautions must be observed to avoid injuries
and damage. Please read the complete operating
instructions and safety regulations with due care.
Keep this manual in a safe place, so that the
information is available at all times. If you give the
equipment to any other person, hand over these
operating instructions and safety regulations as
well. We cannot accept any liability for damage
or accidents which arise due to a failure to follow
these instructions and the safety instructions.
Explanation of the warning signs on the machine
(Fig. 9)
1. Important. Read the operating instructions.
2. Important. Hot parts. Keep your distance.
3. Important. Switch off the engine before
refueling.
4. Important. Never operate in non-ventilated
rooms.
1. General safety instructions:
• No changes may be made to the generator.
• Only original parts may be used for
maintenance and accessories.
• Important: Danger of poisoning, do not inhale
emissions.
• Children are to be kept away from the
generator.
• Important: Risk of burns. Do not touch the
exhaust system or drive unit.
• Wear suitable ear protection when in the
vicinity of the equipment.
• Important: Petrol and petrol fumes are highly
combustible or explosive.
• Never operate the generator in non-ventilated
roomsorineasilyinammableadjacency.
When operating the generator in rooms with
good ventilation, the exhaust gases must
be channeled directly outdoors through an
exhaust hose. Important: Toxic exhaust gases
can escape despite the exhaust hose. Due to
therehazard,neverdirecttheexhausthose
towardsinammablematerials.
• Risk of explosion: Never operate the generator
in rooms with combustible materials.
• The speed preset by the manufacturer is not
allowed to be changed. The generator or
connected equipment may be damaged.
• Secure the generator against shifting and
toppling during transport.
• Place the generator at least 1m away from
buildings and the equipment connected to it.
• Place the generator in a secure, level position.
• Do not turn, tip or change the generator’s
position while it is working.
• Always switch off the engine when
transporting and refueling the generator.
• Make sure that when you refuel the
generator no fuel is spilt on the engine or
exhaust pipe.
• Never operate the generator in rain or snow.
• Never touch the generator with wet hands.
• Guard against electric danger. When
working outdoors, use only extension cables
that are approved for outdoor use and
which are marked accordingly (H07RN..).
• The overall length of the extension cables
used may not exceed 50 m for 1.5 mm2 and
100 m for 2.5 m

.
• No changes may be made to the settings of
the motor or generator.
• Repairs and adjustment work may only be
carried out by authorised trained personnel.
• Do not refuel or empty the tank near open
lights,reorsparks.Donotsmoke!
• Do not touch any mechanically driven or hot
parts. Do not remove the safety guards.
• Do not expose the tools to damp or dust.
• Permissible ambient temperature – 10 to +
40 °C, max. altitude above sea level 1000 m,
relative humidity: 90 % (non-condensing)
• The generator is driven by a combustion
engine, which produces heat in the area of
the exhaust (on the opposite side of the
sockets) and the exhaust outlet. You should
therefore keep clear of these surfaces
because of risk of skin burns.
• The values quoted in the technical data
for sound power level (LWA) and sound
pressure level (LWM) are emission values
and not necessarily reliable workplace
values. As there is a correlation between
emission and immission levels, the values
are not a reliable basis for deciding on
any additional precautions which may be
needed.Factorsinuencingtheactualuser
immission level include the properties of
the work area, other sound sources etc., the
number of machines and other processes
in the vicinity, as well as the time span in
which the operator is subjected to the noise.
Also, the permitted immission level can vary
from country to country. Nevertheless, with
this information the user is able to make a
better assessment of the dangers and risks
involved.
• Never use a faulty or damaged electrical
equipment (this also applies to extension
cables and plug connections).
