• 

Replace caps of all fuel tanks and containers securely.

• 

Never start the machine in the same place in which you 

refilled it with fuel; the engine must be started in an area at 

least 3 metres from where you refuelled.

• 

Avoid getting any fuel or your clothing and, if this should 

happen, change your clothes before starting the engine.

 2.3  DURING OPERATION

Work Area

• 

Do not operate the engine in confined spaces where danger

-

ous carbon monoxide fumes can collect. The start-up op

-

erations must be carried out outdoors or in a well-ventilated 

area. Always remember that the exhaust gases are toxic.

• 

When starting up the machine, do not direct the silencer and 

therefore the exhaust fumes towards flammable materials.

• 

Do not use the machine in environments at risk of explosion, 

in the presence of flammable liquids, gas or powder. Power 

tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

• 

Work only in daylight or with good artificial light in good visi

-

bility conditions.

• 

Keep persons, children and animals away from the working 

area. Children must be supervised by another adult.

• 

Avoid working with wet grass, in the rain and when there is a 

risk of a thunderstorm, especially lightening.

• 

Pay careful attention to uneven ground (hills, dips), slopes, 

hidden hazards and obstacles that could limit visibility.

• 

Be very careful near ravines, ditches or embankments. The 

machine could overturn if a wheel slides over the edge or if 

the earth gives way.

• 

Always mow across a slope and never up and down it, being 

very careful when changing direction, making sure you have 

firm footage and that the wheels do not hit any obstacles 

(such as stones, branches, roots, etc.) that may cause the 

machine to slide sideways or make you lose control of it.

• 

Look out for traffic when using the machine near the road.

• 

To avoid the risk of fire, do not leave the machine with the en

-

gine hot on leaves or dry grass or other flammable material.

Behaviour

• 

Exercise caution when reversing or moving backwards. 

Look behind you to make sure there are no obstacles 

before and during operations in reverse gear.

• 

Never run, always walk.

• 

Do not allow the lawnmower to pull you along.

• 

Always keep hands and feet away from the cutting means, 

when starting and when using the machine.

• 

Attention: the cutting means will continue to rotate for 

a few seconds after disengagement or after you have 

switched off the motor.

• 

Keep away from the discharge opening.

•  Do not touch the parts of the engine that heat up during 

operation. Risk of burns.

 If something breaks or an accident occurs during 

mowing, turn off the motor immediately and move the 

machine away to prevent further damage; if an accident 

occurs with injuries or third parties are injured, carry 

out the first aid measures most suitable for the situation 

immediately and contact the medical authorities for 

any necessary health care. Carefully remove any debris 

which could cause damage or injury to persons or ani-

mals if ignored.

Use limitations

• 

Never operate the machine with guards damaged, missing 

or incorrectly assembled (grass catcher, side discharge 

guards, rear discharge guards).

• 

Don’t use the machine if the attachments/tools are not 

installed in their seats.

• 

Never disengage, deactivate, remove or tamper with the 

safety systems/micro switches installed.

• 

Do not change the engine adjustments, or exceed the max

-

imum rpm. If the engine is forced to run at an excessive 

speed, the risk of personal injury increases.

• 

Do not strain the machine too much and do not use a small 

machine for heavy-duty work; if you use the right machine, 

you will reduce the risk of hazards and improve the quality 

of your work.

 2.4  MAINTENANCE, STORAGE AND TRANSPORT

Ensure regular maintenance and correct storage to main

-

tain machine safety and high performance levels.

Maintenance

• 

Never use the machine with worn or damaged parts. 

Faulty or worn-out parts must always be replaced and 

never repaired.

• 

To reduce the risk of fire, check for oil and/or fuel leaks on 

a regular basis.

• 

Be careful during adjustment of the machine to prevent 

entrapment of the fingers between moving parts of the 

cutting means and fixed parts of the machine.

The noise and vibration levels shown in these 

instructions are the maximum levels for use of the ma

-

chine. The use of an unbalanced cutting element, the 

excessive speed of movement, or the absence of main

-

tenance have a significant influence on noise emissions 

and vibrations. Consequently, it is necessary to take 

preventive steps to eliminate possible damage due to 

high levels of noise and stress from vibration; Maintain 

the machine well, wear ear protection devices, and take 

breaks while working.

Storage

• 

Do not store the machine with fuel in the tank in an area 

where fuel vapours could reach a naked light, a spark or 

a strong heat source.

• 

To reduce fire risks, do not leave containers with debris 

inside a room.

 2.5  ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

Safeguarding the environment must be a relevant and prior

-

ity aspect of machine use, of benefit to the community and 

the environment we live in.

•  Avoid being a disturbance to the neighbourhood. Use this 

machine at reasonable times of the day only (not early 

morning or late evening when the noise could cause 

disturbance).

• 

Comply with local regulations for the disposal of pack

-

aging, deteriorated parts or any elements with a strong 

environmental impact; this waste must not be disposed 

of with regular waste, but must be separated and taken to 

collection centres, who will recycle the materials.

• 

Comply with local regulations for the disposal of waste 

materials.

• 

When the machine is withdrawn from service, do not 

dispose of it in the environment, but take it to a waste 

disposal facility in accordance with the local regulations 

in force.

3.  GETTING TO KNOW THE MACHINE

 3.1  DESCRIPTION OF THE MACHINE AND 

PLANNED USE

This machine is pedestrian-controlled lawnmower.

The machine is essentially composed of a motor which 

drives a cutting means enclosed in a casing, equipped with 

wheels and a handle.
