SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
ground which does not guarantee stability for
the operator;
– avoid using unstable ladders or platforms;
– never run, but walk carefully paying attention
to the lay of the land and any eventual obsta-
cles.
4) Start the engine when the machine is firmly on
the ground and hold it in place with your free
hand:
– start the motor in an area at least 3 metres
from where you refuelled;
– check that there are no persons in the vicinity
of the machine;
– do not direct the silencer and therefore the
exhaust fumes towards inflammable materials.
5) Do not change the engine tuning and do not
rev the engine excessively at maximum speed.
6) Check that when the machine is running at
minimum speed and ticking over, there is no
movement of the blades and, after accelerating,
the engine quickly returns to minimum speed.
7) Make sure the blades do not come into violent
contact with foreign bodies and try to prevent
any material from being hurled after trimming.
8) Stop the engine:
– whenever you leave the machine unattended.
– before refuelling.
9) Stop the engine and disconnect the spark
plug cable:
– before cleaning, checking or working on the
machine;
– after striking a foreign object. Inspect the
machine for any damage and make repairs
before restarting it again;
– If the machine starts to vibrate abnormally:
find and remove the cause of the vibration
immediately;
– when the machine is not in use.
D) MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
1) Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tightly fas-
tened to be sure the equipment is in safe work-
ing condition. Routine maintenance is essential
for safety and for maintaining a high perform-
ance level.
2) Do not store the machine with fuel in the tank
in an area where the fuel vapors could reach an
open flame, a spark or a strong heat source
3) Allow the engine to cool before storing in any
enclosure.
4) To reduce fire hazards, keep the engine,
exhaust silencer and fuel storage area free from
branches, leaves, or excessive grease; never
leave containers with the cut debris inside the
storage area.
5) If the fuel tank has to be emptied, this should
be done outdoors once the engine has cooled
down.
6) Always wear protective gloves when handling
the cutting device.
7) 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.
8) For safety reasons, never use the machine
with worn or damaged parts. Damaged parts are
to be replaced and never repaired. Only use orig-
inal spare parts. Parts that are not of the same
quality can seriously damage the equipment and
compromise safety.
9) 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 direc-
tion to that used during operations.
2) When using a vehicle to transport the
machine, position it so that it can cause no dan-
ger to persons and fasten it firmly in place to
avoid it from tipping over, which may cause
damage or fuel spillage.
