case for damages caused by improper or incorrect
use of this machine. The cutting tool is very sharp. If
you do not follow the instructions it can cause severe
damage.
Keep your body away from the cutting tool while using
the machine.
Do not force this machine. Use this machine for the
correct application. Using the correct machine for the
type of work to be done will allow you to work better
and safer.
Keep this machine. Check that the moving parts are
not misaligned or locked, that there are no broken
parts or other conditions that may affect the operation
of this machine. Whenever this machine is damaged,
repair it before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained machines.
Keep cutting instruments sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting instruments with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to lock and easier to control.
Follow the instructions regarding greasing, tensioning
and chain changing accessories. A chain whose
tension and greasing are incorrect can break and
increase the risk of recoil.
Keep the handles of this machine dry and clean. The
greasy or oiled handles are sliding and cause loss of
control over the machine.
Turn off the machine, disconnect the spark plug
and make sure that the cutting device is stopped
before making any adjustments, refueling, changing
accessories, cleaning, transporting or storing this
machine. Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of accidentally starting this machine. If the
machine starts to vibrate strangely, turn it off and
examine it to find the cause. If you do not detect the
reason, take your machine to the technical service.
Vibrations are always an indication of a problem in the
machine.
Stop the engine every time you leave the machine.
Reduce the engine speed when the engine is to shut
down, if the engine is equipped with a fuel shut-off
valve, cut the fuel when the engine has stopped.
2.6.1. IMPREVED REACTION FORCES WHILE
WORKING WITH THE MOWER
Always keep your attention while cutting with the
mower and be aware of possible unforeseen reaction
forces. The unforeseen reaction forces that occur in
a mower are rebound and recoil. These forces can
unbalance the user and cause dangerous situations.
2.6.1.1. REBOUND
A rebound of the mower may occur if an object is
touched with the cutting chain in the area of the tip
of the bar while it is running. The contact of the chain
at the tip of the bar can cause an unexpected reaction
force that can drive the tip of the bar backward
generating a movement in the rotary mower that can
cause loss of control of the machine and cause severe
body damage.
2.6.1.2. FORWARD PULL
A "forward pull" can occur when the chain stops
abruptly when it is caught in the cutting area with
a foreign body that is in the wood or because it is
not cut properly. The chain, when stopped, pushes
the mower forward which, if it is not properly secured,
produces an unexpected pull that can cause the user
to lose control of the mower, cause it to fall forward
and cause severe bodily damage.
To avoid this "forward pull", the full gas cutting will
begin and will always keep the machine at full speed
