2.  SAFETY REGULATIONS

 2.1  TRAINING

 Become acquainted with the controls and the proper 

use of the machine. Learn how to stop the motor quickly. 

Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may re-

sult in fire and/or serious injury.

• 

Never allow children or persons unfamiliar with these 

instructions to use the machine. Local laws may establish 

a minimum age for users.

• 

Never use the machine if the user is tired or unwell, or has 

taken medicine, drugs, alcohol or any substances which 

may slow their reflexes and compromise his judgement.

• 

Do not allow children or other passengers to ride on the 

machine.

• 

Bear in mind that the operator or user is responsible 

for accidents or unexpected events occurring to other 

people or their property. It is the user’s responsibility to 

assess the potential risk of the area where work is to be 

carried out and to take all the necessary precautions to 

ensure his own safety and that of others, particularly on 

slopes or rough, slippery and unstable ground.

• 

If the machine is sold or lent to others, make sure that the op

-

erator reads the user instructions contained in this manual.

 2.2  PRELIMINARY PROCEDURES

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

• 

Always wear suitable work attire, hard-wearing safety 

footwear with non-slip soles and long trousers. Do not 

operate the machine barefoot or wearing open sandals. 

Wear hearing protection devices.

• 

Use of hearing protections can reduce the ability to hear 

any warnings (shouting or alarms). Be careful of what 

occurs around you in the work area.

• 

Wear protective gloves whenever your hands are at risk.

• 

Never wear scarves, shirts, necklaces, bracelets, loose 

flowing clothing, laces or ties or any hanging or flapping 

accessory that could catch in the machine or in any ob

-

jects or materials in the work area.

• 

Tie your hair back if it is long.

Work area/Machine

• 

Thoroughly inspect the entire work area and remove any

-

thing that could be thrown by the machine or damage the 

cutting means/rotating units (stones, branches, iron wire, 

bones, etc.).

Internal combustion engine: fuel

DANGER! 

 The fuel is highly flammable.

•  Keep the fuel in approved containers, in a safe place, 

away from any naked lights or heat sources.

•  Keep the containers free of residues of grass, leaves or 

excessive grease.

•  Keep the containers out of the reach of children.

• 

Do not smoke when filling up with fuel or when handling 

the fuel.

• 

Use a funnel to top up with fuel only in the open air.

• 

Do not inhale fuel fumes.

• 

Never remove the tank cap or add fuel while the engine is 

running or when the engine is hot.

• 

Open the fuel tank slowly to allow the pressure inside to 

decrease gradually.

• 

Do not approach the tank opening with a naked flame to 

check its contents.

• 

In case of fuel leakages, 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 the fuel has 

evaporated and fuel vapours have dissipated.

• 

Immediately clean up all traces of fuel spilt on the machine 

or on the ground.
