2.3 DURING OPERATION

Work area

• 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 visibility conditions.
• Keep persons, children and
animals away from the working
area. Get another adult to keep
the children under supervision.
• Check that there is
nobody within 15 metres
of the machine's range
of operation or within 30
metres for heavier cutting.
• Avoid working with wet grass,
in the rain and when there
is a risk of a thunderstorm,
especially lightening.
• Do not expose the machine
to rain or wet environments.
Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk
of electric shock.
• Where possible, avoid working
on wet, slippery ground or in
any case on uneven or steep
ground that does not guarantee
stability for the operator.
• 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.
• Always work across the face
of the slope and never up and
down it, being very careful
when changing direction,
making sure the cutting means
is always downstream.
• Look out for traffic when using
the machine near the road.
Behaviour

must always be firmly held
in both hands, keeping the
power unit on the right of the
body and the cutting group
below the line of the belt.
