5 GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to heed warnings and follow instructions

may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Keep safety warnings and instructions

for future reference. The term "power tool" in the safety warnings refers to your mains-

operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

5.1 Working area

▪ Keep working area clean and well lit. Untidy and dark areas can lead to accidents.

▪ Do not operate power tools in potentially explosive surroundings, for example, in the

presence of inflammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may

ignite the dust or fumes.

▪ Keep children and bystanders at a distance when operating a power tool. Distractions can

cause you to lose control of it.

5.2 Electrical safety

Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the

rating plate.

▪ Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use

adapter plugs with earthed power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce

the risk of a lethal electric shock.

▪ Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, radiators, kitchen ranges and

refrigerators. There is an increased risk of a lethal electric shock if your body is earthed.

▪ Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. If water gets inside a power tool, it will

increase the risk of a lethal electric shock.

▪ Do not damage the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power

tool. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or

entangled cords increase the risk of a lethal electric shock.

▪ When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cable suitable for outdoor use.

Using a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of a lethal electric shock.

▪ If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a power supply protected

by a residual current device (RCD). Using an RCD reduces the risk of a lethal electric

shock.

5.3 Personal safety

▪ Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power

tool. Do not use a power tool when you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or

medication. A moment of inattention when operating a power tool may result in serious

personal injury.

▪ Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Using safety equipment such as a

dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, a hard hat, or hearing protection whenever it is needed

will reduce the risk of personal injury.

▪ Avoid accidental starts. Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting the plug.

Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools when the

switch is in the on position makes accidents more likely.

▪ Remove any adjusting keys or spanners before turning on the power tool. A spanner or

key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

POWX510 EN

▪ Do not reach out too far. Keep your feet firmly on the ground at all times. This will enable

you retain control over the power tool in unexpected situations.

▪ Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and

gloves away from the power tool. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can become

entangled in the moving parts.

▪ If there are devices for connecting dust extraction and collection facilities, please ensure

that they are attached and used correctly. Using such devices can reduce dust-related

hazards.

5.4 Power tool use and care

▪ Do not expect the power tool to do more than it can. Use the correct power tool for what

you want to do. A power tool will achieve better results and be safer if used in the context

for which it was designed.

▪ Do not use the power tool if the switch cannot turn it on and off. A power tool with a broken

switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

▪ Disconnect the plug from the power source before making adjustments, changing

accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of

starting the power tool accidentally.

▪ Store power tools, when not in use, out of the reach of children and do not allow people

who are not familiar with the power tool or these instructions to operate it. Power tools are

potentially dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

▪ Maintenance. Check for misalignment or jammed moving parts, breakages or any other

feature that might affect the operation of the power tool. If it is damaged, the power tool

must be repaired. Many accidents are caused by using poorly maintained power tools.

▪ Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting

edges are less likely to jam and are easier to control.

▪ Use the power tool, accessories and cutting tools, etc., in accordance with these

instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into

account the working conditions and the work which needs to be done. Using a power tool

in ways for which it was not intended can lead to potentially hazardous situations.

5.5 Service

▪ Your power tool should be serviced by a qualified specialist using only standard spare

parts. This will ensure that it meets the required safety standards.

ends of the cotter pin to fix.

9 CONTROL FUNCTIONS

9.1 Recoil starter

To start the engine, pull the starter grip lightly until resistance is felt, then pull briskly.

Do not allow the starter grip to snap back against the engine. Return it

gently to prevent damage to the starter. When starting the engine by recoil

starter, set the key switch at the ON position and pull the starter handle.

9.2 Fuel valve lever

The fuel valve is located between the fuel tank and carburetor. When the valve lever is in the

ON position, fuel is allowed to flow from the fuel tank to the carburetor. Be sure to return the

fuel valve lever to the OFF position after stopping the engine.

9.3 Choke rod

The choke is used to provide an enriched fuel mixture when starting a cold engine. It can be

opened and closed by operating the choke rod manually. Pull the rod out toward CLOSED to

enrich the mixture for cold starting.

9.4 Ground terminal

The generator ground terminal is connected to the frame of the generator, the metal non-

current-carrying parts of the generator and the ground terminals of each receptacle

9.5 DC circuit breaker

The DC circuit protector automatically shuts off the DC battery charging circuit when the DC

charging circuit is overloaded, when there is a problem with the battery or when the

connections between the battery and the generator are improper.

9.6 Oil alert system

The oil alert system is designed to prevent engine damage caused by an insufficient amount

of oil in the crankcase. Before the oil level in the crankcase can fall below a safe limit, the oil

alert system will automatically stop the engine (the engine switch will remain in the ON

position). The oil alert system should not take the place of checking the oil level before each

use.

If the engine stops and will not restart, check the engine oil level before troubleshooting in

other areas.

9.7 AC circuit breaker

The AC circuit breaker will automatically switch OFF if there is a short circuit or a significant

overload of the generator at the receptacle. If the AC circuit breaker is switched OFF

automatically, check that the appliance is working properly and does not exceed the rated laod

capacity of the circuit before switching the AC circuit breaker ON again. The AC circuit breaker

may be used to switch the generator power ON or OFF.

10 PRE-OPERATION CHECK

10.1 Engine oil

Engine oil is a major factor affecting engine performance and service life.

Non-detergent and 2-stroke engine oils will damage the engine and are not

recommended.

POWX510 EN

▪ Check the oil level before each use with the generator on a level surface and the engine

stopped.

▪ Use 4-stroke motor oil.

▪ SAE 10W-30 is recommended for general, all-temperature use. Other viscosities shown in

the chart may be used when the average temperature in your area is within the indicated

range. (Fig. 3-> A: SAE Viscosity Grades, B: Ambient temperature)

1. Remove the oil filler cap and wipe the dipstick clean. (Fig. 4)

2. Check the oil level by inserting the dipstick into the filler neck without screwing it in.

3. If the level is low, fill to the top of the oil filler neck with the recommended oil. (Fig. 5)

10.2 Fuel (Fig 6, 7)

▪ Check the fuel gauge and refill the tank if the fuel is low.

▪ Refuel carefully to avoid spilling fuel. Do not fill above the shoulder of the fuel strainer.

Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive and you can be burned or

seriously injured when refueling.

▪ Stop engine and keep heat, sparks and flame away.

▪ Refuel only outdoors

▪ Wipe up spills immediately

▪ Use unleaded gasoline with a pump octane rating of 86 or higher.

▪ This engine is certified to operate on unleaded gasoline.

▪ Unleaded gasoline produces fewer engine and spark plug deposits and extends exhaust

system life.

▪ Never use stale or contaminated gasoline or an oil/gasoline mixture. Avoid getting dirt or

water in the fuel tank.

10.3 Air filter

The air filter prevents the entry of dust and dirt particles into the carburettor and the

combustion chamber of the motor.

Never operate the generator without the air filter! This would result in highly increased wear of

the engine!

A dirty air filter results in reduced engine efficiency, so the filter cartridge must be cleaned

regularly.(more often when used in dusty environments.)

11 OPERATION

DANGER: Before operation connect your generator to earth! This way you

will avoid static charges (possible electric shock) and will enable protective

devices to respond (e.g. leakage current trip switches) on the appliances

being connected.

Use a shielded conducting cable with a minimum cross-section of 1.5 mm² to connect your

generator to an earthing point (e.g. a water or heating pipe). Connect the conductor to the

earthing connection on your generator and tighten it securely.

CAUTION: The generator has been shipped without engine oil. Fill with oil

or it will not start.

11.1 Starting the engine

NOTE: Before starting the engine, disconnect all loads from the generator.

POWX510 EN

1. Make sure that the AC circuit breaker is in the OFF position. The generator may be hard

to start if a load is connected.

2. Turn the fuel valve lever to the ON position.

3. The choke must be closed if the engine is cold, push the choke rod to the Choke-position.

4. Turn the engine switch to the START position.

5. Pull the starter grip lightly until resistance is felt, then pull briskly.

11.2 Connecting electric tools/appliances

Insert the plug(s) of the electrical appliance(s) into the power socket. (lift the protective lid of

the socket and plug in the load.

CAUTION:

Be sure the electric appliance is turned off before plugging in.

Be sure the total load is within generator rated output.

Be sure the socket load current is within socket rated current.

NOTE:

When the circuit breaker is switched off during operation, the generator was overloaded or a

short circuit occurred (example. connected machine may be defect).

Stop the generator immediately, check the connected power, diminish when it exceeds the

rated generator output. Check the power tool. Allow to cool down for a few minutes before you

switch the circuit breaker back to “ON”.

Most motorized appliances require more than their rated power for startup.

Do not exceed the current limit specified for any one receptacle. If an

overloaded circuit causes the AC circuit breaker or AC circuit protector to

switch OFF, reduce the electricalload on the circuit, wait a few minutes and

then reset the AC circuit breaker or AC circuit protector.

11.3 Stopping

NOTE: Before starting the engine, disconnect all loads from the generator.

1. Turn the AC circuit breaker to the OFF position.

2. Turn the engine switch to the OFF position.

3. Turn the fuel valve lever to the OFF position.

Emergency stopping: Turn the engine switch to “OFF”. The engine will stop

immediately.

11.4 Operating time

Depending on the type you’re using, if you start with a full tank and let it run continuously, your

generator will run approximately :

Fuel tank capacity

Operating time

POWX510

15 liters

+/-11 h

The Petrol level display on top of the fuel tank shows you approximately how much petrol

there is left in the tank.

11.5 Ground system

This generator has a ground system that connects the generator frame components to the

ground terminals in the AC output receptacles. The system is not connected to the AC neutral

wire.

POWX510 EN

11.6 High altitude operation

At high altitude, the standard carburettor air-fuel mixture will be excessively rich.

Performance will decrease, and fuel consumption will increase.

High altitude performance can be improved by installing a smaller diameter main fuel jet in the

carburettor and readjusting the slow tempo screws. If you always operate the generator at

altitudes higher than 1,500 m (5,000 feet) above sea level, have your dealer perform these

carburettor modifications.

Even with suitable carburettor jetting, engine horsepower will decrease approximately 3.5% for

each 300m (1,000 feet) increase in altitude. The effect of altitude on the horsepower will be

greater than this if no carburettor modification is made.

Operation of the generator at an altitude lower than the carburetor is jetted

for may result in reduced performance, overheating, and serious engine

damage caused by an excessively lean air/fuel mixture.

12 MAINTENANCE/CLEANING

12.1 The importance of maintenance.

Good maintenance is essential for safe, economical and trouble-free operation. It will also help

reduce air pollution.

NOTE: Before cleaning or maintenance of the generator, you must switch off the motor and

allow the equipment to cool down!

CLEANING: For cleaning the housing, please use only a lint-free cloth dampened with a

solution of soapy water (solution of washing-up liquid). During cleaning, no water should

penetrate the inside of the generator.

12.3 Engine oil replacement

Old oil, even in small quantities, must be brought to a suitable collection point for disposal. Old

oil may not be disposed of with household rubbish, waste water, or even to nature.

You need a 12 mm screw wrench and a recipient of sufficiant capacity to catch the oil (see oil

tank capacity) This recipient must fit below the oil drain bolt (if necessary raise the generator

horizontally on blocks or bricks)

▪ Place the, preferably warm machine on a level surface (warm up the engine for several

minutes if cold).

▪ Position the recipient below the position of the oil drain bolt

▪ Remove the oil drain bolt. Drain the oil completely. (Fig. 8)

▪ Check the oil drain plug, gasket, oil filler cap and O-ring. If damaged replace.

▪ Reinstall the oil drain bolt.

▪ Refill engine oil to the upper level. (Fig. 9)

12.4 Air filter (Fig. 10)

A dirty air cleaner will restrict air flow to the carburetor. To prevent carburetor malfunction,

service the air cleaner regularly. Service more frequently when operating the generator in

extremely dusty areas.

1. Unsnap the air cleaner cover clips, remove the air cleaner cover and remove the element.

2. Wash the air cleaner element in a solution of household detergent and warm water, then

rinse thoroughly or wash in non-flammable or high flashpoint solvent. Allow the air

cleaner element to dry thoroughly.

3. Soak the air cleaner element in clean engine oil and squeeze out the excess oil. The

engine will smoke during initial startup if too much oil is left in the air cleaner element.

4. Reinstall the air cleaner element and the cover.

CAUTION: The engine should never run without the air filter element;

excessive piston and/or cylinder wear will result.

12.5 Fuel sediment cup cleaning (Fig. 11)

The sediment cup prevents dirt or water which may be in the fuel tank from entering the

carburetor. If the engine has not been running for a long time, the sediment cup should be

cleaned.

1. Turn the fuel valve lever to the OFF position. Remove the sediment cup, O-ring and filter.

2. Clean the sediment cup, O-ring and filter in nonflammable or high flash point solvent.

3. Reinstall the filter, O-ring and sediment cup.

4. Turn the fuel valve lever ON and check for leaks.

POWX510 EN

12.6 Cleaning / adjusting / replacing spark plug

Easy starting and optimum running of the engine is only possible when the spark plug is clean

and correctly mounted.

▪ Remove the spark plug cable from the spark plug.

▪ Place spark plug key on the spark plug and unscrew it.

▪ The spark plug should be light to dark brown (Standard electrode color: Tan Color). A

black spark plug indicates that the mixture is too rich (choke used for too long, frequent

running for short periods).

▪ Clean the spark plug with a spark plug brush. (This has copper bristles - do not use a steel

brush, otherwise you will damage the spark plug!)

▪ Check the gap between the electrodes with a gauge. It should be between 0.6 and 0.8

mm. If necessary, adjust the gap by carefully bending the electrode. If the gap is too wide,

the ignition spark is too weak or may be completely absent. If the gap is too small, the

electrode becomes burnt, and the plug will not spark reliably.

▪ If the electrode is burnt, or the ceramic insulator is damaged, replace the spark plug. Use

spark plugs with the same charasteristics.

▪ Re-place the spark plug in its housing and screw it tight by hand. The spark plug must

allow itself to be screwed in very easily. - otherwise unscrew again, check the thread for

foreign bodies and screw in again (straight).

▪ Use a plug spanner to tighten the hand-tightened spark plug by a further quarter revolution

and no more, otherwise the thread will be damaged.

▪ Re-place the spark plug cable on the spark plug and ensure that it is seated tightly.

12.7 Muffler screen

The engine and muffler will be very hot after the engine has been run.

Avoid touching the engine and muffler while they are still hot with any part of your body or

clothing during inspection or repair.

▪ Remove the muffler protector and muffler screen.

▪ Clean the carbon deposits out of the muffler screen using a wire brush.

▪ Check the muffler screen. Replace it if damaged.

▪ Install the muffler screen and muffler protector.

13 SERVICE / REPAIRS

▪ Repairs may be carried out by specialized personnel only. For this, use a specialist

workshop.

▪ For repairs, only parts may be used which correspond to the original machine details. This

machine contains electrical and mechanical parts which are essential for protection

16 TRANSPORT/ STORAGE

▪ If the motor still contains motor oil and/or petrol, it may be transported and stored only in

an upright position

▪ Make sure that the petrol cock is closed and that the motor switch is set to "OFF".

▪ Avoid the sun's direct rays - especially when transporting in a vehicle or mobile home. The

heat can evaporate the petrol in the carburettor, which can escape as an explosive gas.

▪ In the event of shaking or vibrations, (e.g. when crossing agricultural land) a small amount

of petrol can escape through the overflow of the carburettor. Look out for the

corresponding odor.

Long term storage

Long term storage of your machine will require some preventive procedures to guard against

deterioration.

16.1 Drain the fuel

▪ Drain the fuel tank, fuel cock, and carburetor float bowl.

▪ Poor in a cup of SAE 10W30 or 20W40 motor oil.

▪ Shake the tank.

▪ Drain off the excess oil.
