  SAFETY REGULATIONS

  please follow meticulously

A) TRAINING

1) WARNING! Read these instructions carefully before op

-

erating the machine. 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  instruc

-

tions  may  result  in  electric  shock,  fire  and/or  serious  inju

-

ry.  Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. 

2) Never allow children or persons unfamiliar with these in

-

structions  to  use  the  machine.  Local  laws  can  restrict  the 

minimum age of the operator.

3)  This  appliance  can  be  used  by  children  aged  from  8 

years  and  above  and  persons  with  reduced  physical,  sen

-

sory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowl

-

edge  if  they  have  been  given  supervision  or  instructions 

concerning  use  of  the  appliance  in  a  safe  way  and  under

-

stand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the 

appliance.  Cleaning  and  user  maintenance  shall  not  be 

made by children without supervision. 

4) Never use the lawnmower while people, especially chil

-

dren, or pets are nearby.

5)  Never  use  the  machine  if  the  user  is  tired  or  unwell,  or 

has  taken  medicine,  drugs,  alcohol  or  any  substances 

which  may  slow  his  reflexes  and  compromise  his  judge

-

ment.

6) 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.

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

the  operator  looks  over  the  user  instructions  contained  in 

this manual. 

B) PRELIMINARY OPERATIONS

1)  While  using  the  machine,  always  wear  anti-slip  and  re

-

sistant  work  footwear  and  long  pants.  Do  not  operate  the 

machine  when  barefoot  or  wearing  open  sandals.  Avoid 

wearing  chains,  bracelets  and  clothing  that  is  loose  fit

-

ting or has hanging cords or ties. Tie hair back if it is long. 

Always wear protective earplugs.

2)  Thoroughly  inspect  the  entire  work  area  and  remove 

anything  that  could  be  thrown  by  the  machine  or  dam

-

age  the  cutting  unit  or  motor  (stones,  branches,  iron  wire, 

bones, etc.).

3)  Before  using  the  machine,  check  its  general  condition 

and in particular:

–    the  appearance  of  the  cutting  means,  and  check  that 

the  screws  and  cutting  unit  are  not  worn  or  damaged. 

Replace  the  entire  cutting  means  and  all  damaged  or 

worn  screws  to  preserve  balance.  Any  repairs  must  be 

done at a specialised centre.

–   Don’t  force  the  safety  lever  as  it  must  move  freely;  it 

should  return  automatically  and  rapidly  back  to  the 

neutral position, resulting in the stopping of the cutting 

means;

EN

WARNING: READ THOROUGHLY THE INSTRUCTION BOOKLET BEFORE 

USING THE MACHINE. Keep for future reference

4)  Before  use  check  the  supply  cable  and  extension  lead 

for  signs  of  damage  or  aging.  If  the  cable  or  lead  be

-

come  damaged  during  use,  disconnect  the  plug  from 

the  mains  socket  immediately.  DO  NOT  TOUCH  THE 

CABLE BEFORE DISCONNECTING IT FROM THE MAINS 

SUPPLY  SOCKET.  Never  use  the  machine  if  the  power 

cable  or  extension  lead  are  damaged  or  worn.  Damaged 

or  deteriorated  cables  may  cause  contact  with  energised 

parts.

5)  Before  starting  work,  always  fit  the  exit  guards  (grass 

catcher, side discharge guard or rear discharge guard).

C) DURING USE

1) Work only in daylight or with good artificial light in good 

visibility  conditions.  Keep  persons,  children  and  animals 

away from the working area.

2) If possible, avoid mowing wet grass. Avoid working in the 

rain and when there is a thunderstorm risk. Do not use the 

machine in bad weather conditions, especially when there 

is risk of lightening.

3) Do not expose the machine to rain or wet environments. 

Water  entering  a  power  tool  will  increase  the  risk  of  elec

-

tric shock.

4) Make sure you have a steady foothold on slopes.

5)  Never  run,  always  walk;  do  not  let  the  lawnmower  pull 

you.

6)  Pay  special  attention  when  approaching  obstacles  that 

could compromise visibility.

7)  Always  mow  across  a  slope  and  never  up  and  down  it, 

being very careful when changing direction 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.

8) The machine must not be used on slopes of over 20°, re

-

gardless of the mowing direction.  

9)  Be  extremely  careful  when  pulling  the  lawnmower  to

-

wards you. Look behind you to make sure there are no ob

-

stacles before and during operations in reverse gear.

10)  Immobilise  the  cutting  means  if  the  lawnmower  must 

be inclined for transport, when moving over surfaces other 

than grass and when the lawnmower is transported from or 

to an area that must be cut. 

11)  Pay  attention  to  traffic  when  using  the  machine  near 

roads.

12)  Never  operate  the  machine  with  damaged  guards  or 

without  the  grass  catcher,  side  discharge  guards  or  rear 

discharge guards. 

13) Be very careful near ravines, ditches or embankments. 

14)  Ignite  the  motor  carefully  following  the  instructions, 

keeping feet away from the cutting means. 

15) Keep both hands on the grip during ignition.

16)  Do  not  incline  the  lawnmower  during  ignition.  Perform 

machine ignition on a flat surface without obstacles or high 

grass. 

17) Never place your hands and feet near or under rotating 

parts. Keep away from the discharge opening.

18)  Do  not  lift  or  transport  the  lawnmower  when  the  mo

-

tor is running.

19) Do not tamper with or disable safety systems.

20)  On  power-driven  models,  disengage  the  wheel  drive 

before ignition.

21) Use manufacturer-recommended attachments only.
