5.5 Operating information for safe working with electric devices
Observe the following operating information for a safe
operation and handling of electric devices.
Please also observe the safety precautions for operation given
DANGER in section 5.1 on page 73.
• Devices that caused the insulation monitoring unit to switch-off and to
indicate a "FAULTY INSULATION" must also not be operated at other
generators without insulation monitoring or in the public electricity supply
network. Devices with defective insulation have to be immediately taken out
of operation and replaced or repaired by the device manufacturer or an
authorized electric company.
• Only connect devices that are in a faultless and safe condition. The devices
and connectors have to be clean and dry.
• Before connecting devices to the generator, ensure that the devices are
switched off. Accident hazard! Unsupervised starting devices can endanger or
injure persons as well as cause damages or damage themselves.
• Depending on the field of operating and application, regulations,
prescriptions, requirements or recommendations of the professional
associations and trade associations have to be observed when working with
generators. Additionally, the Gerätesicherheitsgesetz (GSG, German
Equipmant Safety Law), the relevant regulations for preventing accidents as
well as the mine regulations of the countries have also to be considered.
When using generators outside the scope of requirements of the Federal
Republic of Germany, the suitability of the generator has to be proofed under
consideration of the individual national requirements. If you have any
questions, please contact the system manufacturer.
• The generator may only be operated under the permissible operating
conditions given in section 5.2 on page 75.
• Many portable electric tools comply with protection class II (protective
insulation, identification ). It is recommended to use such devices as far
as possible. If devices of protection class I are used (i.e. with metal housing
parts which are not insulation protected), these must be equipped with a
connection cable and a connector with PE conductor.
• When working in "conductive areas with limited freedom of movement", i.e.
in areas within the scope of DIN VDE 0100 part 706 (e.g. in metal tanks),
only one single device may be connected to the generator if it is a "hand-
