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
engine quickly. Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions may result in fire and/or serious injury. Save all warn-
ings 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) Never use the lawnmower while people, especially chil-
dren, or pets are nearby.
4) 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.
5) 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.
6) 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, clothing that is loose fitting 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 damage
the cutting unit or engine (stones, branches, iron wire,
bones, etc.).
3) WARNING: DANGER! Petrol is highly flammable.
– Store the fuel in special containers;
– Add fuel, using a funnel, only outdoors; do not smoke
during this operation and each time fuel is handled;
– Top-up with fuel before igniting the engine; never remove
the tank cap or add fuel while the engine is running or
when it is hot;
– If you have spilled some fuel, do not attempt to ignite the
engine but move the machine away from the area of spill-
age and avoid creating any source of ignition until the fuel
has evaporated and fuel vapours have dissipated:
– Always put the tank and fuel container caps back on and
tighten well;
4) Replace faulty silencers.
5) 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
6) Check the battery status regularly (where applicable).
Replace it if there is any damage to the casing, cover or
terminals.
7) Before starting work, always fit the exit guards (grass
catcher, side discharge guard or rear discharge guard).
C) DURING USE
1) Do not operate the engine in a confined space where
dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can develop. All igni-
tion operations have to be effected in an open or well-venti-
lated area. Always remember that exhaust fumes are toxic.
2) Work only in daylight or with good artificial light in good
visibility conditions. Keep persons, children and animals
away from the working area.
3) 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.
4) Make sure you have a steady foothold on slopes.
5) Never run, always walk. Do not allow the lawnmower to
pull you along.
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 toward
you. Look behind you to make sure there are no obstacles
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 engine carefully following the instructions,
keeping feet away from the cutting means.
15) Do not incline the lawnmower during ignition. Ignite the
machine on a flat surface without obstacles or high grass.
16) Never place your hands and feet near or under rotating
parts. Keep away from the discharge opening.
17) Do not lift or transport the lawnmower when the engine
is running.
18) Do not tamper with or disable safety systems.
19) Do not change the engine settings or over-rev the en-
gine.
20) Do not touch the engine parts as they get very hot when
running. Danger of burns.
