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

• 

To reduce fire risks, do not leave containers 

with debris inside a room.

 2.5  BATTERY / BATTERY CHARGER

IMPORTANT

 The following safety instructions 

are in addition to the safety requirements 

provided in the specific battery and battery 

charger manual delivered with this machine.

• 

Only use battery chargers recommended by the 

manufacturer to recharge batteries. An inadequate 

battery charger may cause electric shock, overheating 

or corrosive liquid to leak from the battery.

• 

Use only batteries specifically designed for 

your power tool. The use of other batteries 

may cause injuries and fire risks.

• 

Make sure that the machine is switched off before 

inserting the battery. Inserting a battery in a 

machine which is switched on can cause a fire.

• 

Keep all unused batteries at a distance from 

paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other 

small metal objects as contact with the same 

can cause short circuits. Short circuits between 

battery contacts can lead to explosion or fires.

• 

Do not use the battery charger in places where 

there are inflammable vapours, substances 

or on easily inflammable surfaces like paper, 

fabric, etc. During recharge, the battery charger 

becomes heated and may cause fire.

• 

When transporting accumulators, make sure the 

contacts never come into contact with each other 

and never use metal containers to transport them.

 2.6  ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

Safeguarding the environment must be a relevant 

and priority 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 

packaging, 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, which will recycle the materials.

• 

Comply with local regulations for the 

disposal of waste materials.

• 

When the machine is decommissioned, do not dispose 

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

facility in accordance with the local regulations in force.

Do not throw electrical equipment away with 

domestic waste.

 According to the European 

Directive 2012/19/EU on waste electrical and 

electronic equipment and its implementation 

in compliance with national standards, old 

electrical equipment must be collected separately, for 

eco-compatible recycling. If electrical equipment is 

disposed of in dumps or in landfills, hazardous substances 

can leak into the groundwater and contaminate the food 

chain, damaging your health and well-being. For further 

information on the disposal of this product, contact 

your dealer or a domestic waste collection service.

At the end of their working life, dispose 

of batteries paying due attention to 

the environment.

 Batteries contain 

material classified as hazardous for 

you and the environment. They must be 

removed and disposed of separately at 

a facility that accepts lithium-ion batteries.

Separate waste collection of the products 

and packaging used allows the materials to 

be recycled and reused.

 Reuse of recycled 

materials help to prevent environmental pollution 

and reduces the demand for raw materials.

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.

The operator is able to operate the machine and use 

the main controls, always staying behind the handle 

at a safe distance from the rotating cutting means.

If the operator leaves the machine, the motor and 

cutting means will stop within a few seconds.

 3.1.1  Intended use

This machine is designed and built to cut (and 

collect) grass in gardens and grassy areas, 

with a height according to its cutting capacity, 

driven by an operator walking behind it.

Generally speaking this machine can:

1. 

Mow the grass and collect it in the grass catcher bag.

2. 

Mow the grass and discharge it on the 

ground through the rear part.

3. 

Mow the grass and discharge it on the 

ground laterally (if available).

4. 

Mow the grass, chop it and discharge it on 

the ground (mulching effect - if available).

The use of special attachments provided for by the 

Manufacturer as original equipment or which may be 

purchased separately, allows this work to be done in 

various operating modes, illustrated in this manual or the 

instructions that accompany the single attachments.

 3.1.2  Improper use

Any other usage not in keeping with the afore-

mentioned ones may be hazardous and 

harm persons and/or damage things.

Examples of improper use may 

include, but are not limited to:

–

Allowing children, animals or other 

passengers to ride on the machine as
