• Read the instructions carefully. Be familiar with the 

controls and the proper use of the equipment. Learn 
how to stop the engine quickly.

• Only use the lawn mower for the purpose for which it 

was designed, i.e. for cutting and collecting grass. Any 
other use can be hazardous, causing damage to the 
machine. Examples of improper use may include, but 
are not limited to:

- transport of people, children or animals on the 

machine;

vegetation other than grass;

- use of the machine by more than one person;
- using the blade on surfaces other than grass.

• Never allow children or people unfamiliar with these 

instructions to use the lawn mower. Local regulations 
can restrict the age of the operator.

• Never use the lawn mower:

- when people, especially children, or pets are 

nearby;

- if the operator has taken medicine or substances 

that can affect his ability to react and concentrate.

• Keep in mind that the operator or user is responsible 

for accidents or hazards occurring to other people or 
their property.

• The operators must receive proper training in the use, 

adjustment and operation of the machine, including 
prohibited operations.

Preparation 

• While mowing, always wear substantial footwear and 

long trousers. Do not operate the equipment when 
barefoot or wearing open sandals.

• Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to 

be used and remove all objects, such as stones, toys, 
sticks and wires, which can be thrown by the machine.

• WARNING- Petrol is highly flammable.

- store fuel in containers specifically designed for this 

purpose;

- refuel outdoors only and do not smoke while 

refueling;

- add fuel before starting the engine. Never remove 

the cap of the fuel tank or add petrol while the 
engine is running or when the engine is hot;

- if petrol is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine 

but move the machine away from the area of 
spillage and avoid creating any source of ignition 
until petrol vapors have dissipated;

- replace all fuel tank and container caps securely.

• Replace faulty silencers.
• Before using, always visually inspect to see that the 

blades, blade bolts and cutter assembly are not worn or 
damaged. Replace worn or damaged blades and bolts 
in sets to preserve balance.

and operator presence controls are properly 
functioning.
