capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they
have been given supervision or instructions concerning use
of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards
involved. Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning
and user maintenance shall not be made by children without
supervision.
• Never use the lawnmower while people, especially children, or
pets are nearby. Get another adult to keep the children under
supervision.
• 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 judgement.
• 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.
• If the machine is sold or lent to others, make sure that the
operator reads the user instructions contained in this manual
2.2
PRELIMINARY PROCEDURES
• Always wear suitable work attire, hard-wearing safety
footwear with non-slip soles and long trousers. Do not
operate the machine when barefoot or wearing open
sandals. Wear hearing protection devices.
• Never wear scarves, shirts, necklaces, bracelets, loose
flowing clothing, laces or ties or any hanging or flapping
accessory that could catch in the machine or in any objects
or materials in the work area.
• Tie your hair back if it is long.
• Wear protective gloves whenever your hands are at risk.
• Thoroughly inspect the entire work area and remove
anything that could be thrown by the machine or damage
the cutting means/rotating units (stones, branches, iron
wire, bones, etc.).
2.3
DURING OPERATION
• Do not use the machine in environments at risk of explosion,
in the presence of flammable liquids, gas or powder. Power
tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Do not expose the machine to rain or wet environments.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric
shock.
• Work only in daylight or with good artificial light in good
visibility conditions.
• Avoid working with wet grass, in the rain and when there is a
risk of a thunderstorm, especially lightening.
• Pay careful attention to uneven ground (hills, dips), slopes,
hidden hazards and obstacles that could limit visibility.
• The machine must not be used on slopes of over 20°,
regardless of the mowing direction.
• Do not incline the lawnmower during start up. Start up the
machine on a flat surface without obstacles or high grass.
• Be extremely careful when pull the lawnmower toward
you. Look behind you to make sure there are no obstacles
before and during operations in reverse gear.
• Never run, always walk.
• Do not allow the lawnmower to pull you along.
• Always keep hands and feet away from the cutting means,
when starting and when using the machine.
• Never operate the machine with damaged, missing or
incorrectly assembled guards.
• Never disengage, deactivate, remove or tamper with the
safety systems/micro switches installed.
If something breaks or an accident occurs during
mowing, turn off the motor immediately and move the
machine away to prevent further damage; if an accident
occurs with injuries or third parties are injured, carry
out the first aid measures most suitable for the situa-
tion immediately and contact the medical authorities for
any necessary health care. Carefully remove any debris
which could cause damage or injury to persons or ani-
mals if ignored.
2.4
MAINTENANCE, STORAGE
Ensure regular maintenance and correct storage to maintain
machine safety and high performance levels.
• Never use the machine with worn or damaged parts. Faulty
or worn-out parts must always be replaced and never
repaired. Only use original spare parts.
• Be careful during adjustment of the machine to prevent
entrapment of the fingers between moving parts of the
cutting means and fixed parts of the machine.
• To reduce fire risks, do not leave containers with debris
inside a room.
• Make sure that machine movements do not cause damage
or injuries.
The noise and vibration levels shown in these
instructions are the maximum levels for use of the ma-
chine. The use of an unbalanced cutting element, the
excessive speed of movement, or the absence of main-
tenance have a significant influence on noise emissions
and vibrations. Consequently, it is necessary to take
preventive steps to eliminate possible damage due to
high levels of noise and stress from vibration. Maintain
the machine well, wear ear protection devices, and take
breaks while working.
2.5
BATTERY / BATTERY CHARGER
IMPORTANT
The following safety instructions are in
addition to the safety requirements provided in the specific
battery and battery charger manual delivered with this

charger may cause electric shock, overheating or corrosive
liquid to leak from the battery.
• Use only batteries specifically designed for your power tool.
The use of other batteries may cause injuries and fire risks.
• Make sure that the machine is switched off before inserting
the battery. Inserting a battery into a machine that is
switched on can cause a fire.
