SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
2) Mow only in daylight or good artificial light.
3) Take on a firm and well-balanced position:
– w here possible, avoid working on wet, slippery
ground or in any case on uneven or steep ground
that does not guarantee stability for the operator;
– n ever run, but walk carefully paying attention to
the lay of the land and any eventual obstacles;
– assess the potential risks of the ground to be
mown and take all necessary precautions to en-
sure your own safety, especially on slopes or on
bumpy, slippery or unstable ground;
– work along the contour on slopes, never when
walking up or down and always keep downhill
of the cutter.
4) Make sure the machine is securely locked when
you start the engine:
– s tart the motor in an area at least 3 metres from
where you refuelled;
– c heck that there is nobody within at least 15 me-
tres of the machine's range of action or at least 30
metres for heavier mowing;
– d o not direct the silencer and therefore the ex-
haust fumes towards inflammable materials.
5) Do not change the engine governor settings
or overspeed the engine.
6) Do not strain the machine too much and do not
use a small machine for heavy-duty works. If you
use the right machine, you will reduce the risk of
hazards and improve the quality of your work.
7) Check that when the machine is running idle,
there is no movement of the cutting device and, af-
ter pressing the throttle trigger, the engine quickly
returns to minimum speed.
8) Ensure that the blade does not come into violent
contact with foreign bodies and beware of the pos-
sibility of material being thrown up by the bla d es.
9) Always keep the machine connected to the web-
bing when working.
10) Stop the engine:
– w henever you leave the machine unattended.
– b efore refuelling.
– during movements between work areas.
11) Stop the engine and disconnect the spark
plug cable:
– b efore cleaning, checking or working on the ma-
chine;
– a fter striking a foreign object. Inspect the ma-
chine for any damage and make repairs before
restarting it again;
– i f the machine starts to vibrate abnormally: find
the cause of the vibration immediately and have
it inspected at a Specialised Centre.
– when the machine is not in use.
D) MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
1) Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure
the equipment is in safe working condition. Rou-
ti n e maintenance is essential for safety and for
maintaining a high performance level.
2) Do not store the machine with fuel in the tank in
an area where the fuel vapours could reach an o p en
flame, a spark or a strong heat source.
3) Allow the engine to cool before storing in any
en c losure.
4) To reduce fire hazards, keep the engine, ex h aust
silencer and fuel storage area free from saw d ust,
branches, leaves, or excessive grease; ne v er 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) For safety reasons, never use the machine
with worn or damaged parts. Damaged parts
are to be replaced and never repaired. Only
use original spare parts. Parts that are not of the
same quality can seriously damage the equipment
and compromise safety. The cutting tools must al-
ways bear the manufacturer's trademark as well as
a reference to the maximum working speed.
8) Before putting the machine away, check you
have removed wrenches or tools used for main-
tenance.
9) Store the machine out of the reach of children!
E) TRANSPORTATION AND HANDLING
1) Whenever the machine is to be handled or trans-
ported you must:
– t urn off the engine, wait for the cutting device to
stop and disconnect the spark plug cap;
– fit the cutting device guard;
– o nly hold the machine using the handgrips and
position the cutting device in the opposite direc-
tion to that used during operation.
2) When using a vehicle to transport the machine,
position it so that it can cause no danger to persons
and fasten it firmly in place to avoid it from tip p ing
over, which may cause damage or fuel spil l age.
