ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

Safeguarding the environment must be a relevant and prior-
ity aspect of machine use, of benefit to the community and
the environment we live in.
• Avoid being a disturbance to the neighbourhood. Use
this machine at reasonable times of the day only (not
early morning or late evening when the noise could cause
disturbance).
• Comply with local regulations for the disposal of pack-
aging, deteriorated parts or any elements with a strong
environmental impact; this waste must not be disposed
of with regular waste, but must be separated and taken to
collection centres, who will recycle the materials.
• Comply with local regulations for the disposal of waste
materials.
• When the machine is withdrawn from service, do not
dispose of it in the environment, but take it to a waste
disposal facility in accordance with the local regulations
in force.
Do not throw electrical equipment away with
domestic waste. According to the European
Directive 2012/19/EU on electrical and electronic
equipment waste and its implementation in com-
pliance with national standards, old electrical
equipment must be collected separately, for eco-com-
patible recycling. If electrical equipment is disposed of in
dumps or in landfills, hazardous substances can leak into
the groundwater and contaminate the food chain, damaging
your health and well-being. For further information on the
disposal of this product, contact your dealer or a domestic
waste collection service.
Separate waste collection of the products
and packaging used allows the materials to
be recycled and reused. Reuse of recycled ma-
terials help to prevent environmental pollution and
reduces the demand for raw materials.

GETTING TO KNOW THE MACHINE

3.1 DESCRIPTION OF THE MACHINE AND
PLANNED USE
This machine is a pedestrian-controlled walk-behind
electrically powered lawn mower.
The machine is essentially composed of a motor which
drives a cutting means enclosed in a casing, equipped with
wheels and a handle.
The operator is able to operate the machine and use the
main controls, always staying behind the handle at a safe
distance from the rotating cutting means.
If the operator leaves the machine, the motor and cutting
means will stop within a few seconds.

Intended use

This machine is designed and built to cut (and collect) grass
in gardens and grassy areas, with a height according to its
cutting capacity, driven by an operator walking behind it.
Generally speaking this machine can:
1. Mow the grass and collect it in the grass catcher bag.
2. Mow the grass and discharge it on the ground through
the rear part.
Mow the grass, chop it and discharge it on the ground
3.
(mulching effect - if available).
The use of special attachments provided for by the Manu-
facturer as original equipment or which may be purchased
separately, allows this work to be done in various operating
modes, illustrated in this manual or the instructions that
accompany the single attachments.
3.1.1 Improper use
Any other usage, different than the afore-mentioned may be
hazardous and harm persons and/or damage things.
Examples of improper use may include, but are not limited
to:
• Allowing children, animals or other passengers on the
machine as they could fall off and injure themselves or
compromise safe driving by the operator;
• Letting oneself be transported by the machine;
• Using the machine to tow or push loads;
• Using the cutting means on surfaces other than grass;
• Using the machine for leaf or debris collection;
• Using the machine to trim hedges, or for cutting vegeta-
tion other than grass;
• using of the machine by more than one person.
IMPORTANT Improper use of the machine will in-
validate the warranty, relieve the Manufacturer from all
liabilities, and the user will consequently be liable for all
and any damage or injury to himself or others.
3.1.2 User types
This machine is intended for use by consumers, i.e.
non-professional operators.
It is intended for "DIY" use only.
IMPORTANT The machine must be used by one
operator.
3.2

SAFETY SIGNS

The machine has various symbols on it (fig. 2). Their func-
tion is to remind the operator of the correct conduct for use,
with due care and caution. Meanings of the symbols:
