C) OPERATION
1) Work only in daylight or good artificial light.
2) Take on a firm and well-balanced position:
– where possible avoid working on wet slippy
ground or in any case on uneven or ripid ground
which does not guarantee stability for the oper-
ator;
– avoid using unstable ladders or platforms;
– never run, but walk carefully paying attention to
the lay of the land and any eventual obstacles.
3) Check that when the machine is running at min-
imum speed and ticking over, there is no move-
ment of the blades and, after accelerating, the
engine quickly returns to minimum speed.
4) Make sure the blades do not come into violent
contact with foreign bodies and try to prevent any
material from being hurled after trimming.
5) Stop the engine:
– whenever you leave the machine unattended.
– before refuelling.
D) MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
1) Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tightly fastened
to be sure the equipment is in safe working con-
dition. Routine maintenance is essential for safety
and for maintaining a high performance level.
2) Always wear protective gloves when handling
the cutting device.
3) Make sure the blades are well sharpened. All
operations on the blades require a certain level
of experience and specialised tools. For safety
reasons, take them to a specialised centre to be
sharpened.
4) For safety reasons, never use the machine with
worn or damaged parts. Damaged parts are to be
replaced and never repaired. Only use original
spare parts. Parts that are not of the same quality
can seriously damage the equipment and com-
promise safety.
5) Store the machine out of the reach of children!
E) TRANSPORTATION AND HANDLING
1) Whenever the machine is to be handled or
transported you must:
– turn off the engine, wait for the blades to stop
and diconnect the spark plug cap;
– apply the protection devices to the blades;
– only hold the machine using the handgrips and
position the blades in the opposite direction to
that used during operations.
2) When using a vehicle to transport the machine,
position it so that it can cause no danger to per-
sons and fasten it firmly in place to avoid it from
tipping over, which may cause damage or fuel
spillage.
