3- Personal safety
Pay attention to what you are doing, with
whathappens near you while you're working
and always rely on your common sense.
Do not operate the equipment when you are
tired, distracted or under the influence of drugs,
alcoholic beverages or medication. Any slip of
attention could result in serious injury.
Use personal safety equipment. Always
wear goggles. When you wear personal safety
equipment, i.e. goggles, gloves, shoes, anti-skid
boots and ear protection you increase the level of
safety and reduce hazards.
Prevent accidental operation. Make sure that
the on/off key is in the "off" position before you
plug the cord. Connecting the equipment to the
power source when it is "on" can lead to serious
accident.
Remove unwanted objects before you turn
on the equipment. A tool or any object that
mightbecome attached to the equipment's
moving parts can cause injury.
Do not be over-confident. Keep both feet on
the ground for balance. This also helps you to
control the equipment more efficiently during
unexpected situations.
Dress accordingly. Do not wear loose clothing
or jewellery. Keep your hair and clothes away
from the moving parts to avoid them from
becoming entangled.
4 - Operation and safety measures
Don't twist the equipment. Use it correctly and
for the applications described in this manual for
improved performance and safety while you are
working.
Don't use the equipment if the switch doesn't
turn "on" and/or "off". The equipment can't be
controlled if the switch is damaged. A damaged
power switch must be immediately repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source
before you do any adjustments, change the
cutting blade and accessories. This safety
measure reduces the risk of accidental operation.
When the equipment is not being used, store
it away from children's reach and don't let
anyone who is not familiar with how it works
to operate the equipment. The equipment can
be dangerous when handled by inexperienced
users.

Take good care of your equipment. Always
check if the blade is firmly attached to the
shaft, if there are any damaged parts or any
other problem that could affect good operation
conditions. If there are any problems, repair
the equipment before using it. Lack of proper
maintenance is the cause of many accidents.
Keep mowing blade clean and sharp. The
blade should be sharpened whenever it is blunt
or when machine decreases performance.
The cutting blade keeps on moving after the
equipment has been turned off. Remember
this whenever you are doing any kind of
maintenance.
Use the equipment and accessories according
to the instructions in this manual. Take in
consideration the working conditions and
the service to be done. Using the equipment
for other purposes than those included in this
manual can be dangerous.
Note:
According to the Brazilian standard
NBR 5410, it is compulsory to install a device to
protect against residual defferential current (DR
device) in the electrical installation. The function
of the "DR" is to protect the user against serious
electrical shock risk (consult an electrician).
Warning!
Using the equipment without the protection
skirt is considered loss of warranty.
