legs. The force of the kickback can cause the
operator to lose control of the machine.
Kickback can also occur when cutting with any
type of blade in the hazardous zone (see N1); we
therefore recommend cutting using the
remaining zone.
CAUTION! Always use a sharp blade.
A blade with worn teeth can create
problems in cutting and cause the
blade to kickback.
CAUTION! Do not sharpen a
damaged or worn blade. Replace it
with a new one.
C. Description of the safety devices on the machine,
controls to be made and maintenance of the safety devices
CAUTION! Do not use the machine
for any reason with its safety devices
out of order.
This section describes the safety devices on the
machine, and provides instructions for control
and maintenance to keep them in perfect
working order.
The section "General Description" will help you
to identify the parts described in this section.
The risk of accidents increases considerably if
maintenance is not performed regularly or is not
done professionally. In case of any doubts
contact an authorized service center.
Safety lever
CAUTION! Never use the machine
with its Safety lever pressed with
adhesive tape, string or other.
• This device serves to prevent accidentally
pressing the throttle trigger (fig. A no. 3). In
fact, the trigger (fig. A no. 3), can only be
pressed if the safety lever is pressed at the
same time (fig. A no. 20).
• By means of 2 separate springs, upon
releasing the grip, the throttle trigger (fig. A no.
3) and safety lever (fig. A no. 20) return
automatically to their original positions.
Engine stop device
• Turn the stop button Stop (fig. A no. 8) to O /
STOP to stop the engine.
• To make sure this button works properly, start
the engine and check that it stops when the
Stop button (fig. A no. 8) is turned to the Stop
position.

CAUTION! We recommend the use of
original accessories and
replacements, which can be
purchased from authorized
distributors. The use of other
accessories and replacements
increases the danger of accidents
and in this case the manufacturer
has no liability for damages to
persons and/or property.
Protection for transport
CAUTION! Before applying the guard
switch off the engine and wait for the
cutting device to stop. Use the blade
guard whenever you have to
transport and store the machine.
The guard covers the sharp extremities of the
blade when the machine is in the resting position
for transport or storage (fig. A no. 24).
CAUTION! Never use the machine for
any reason without the specific
safety devices listed below! Though
they do not entirely eliminate all
risks, they greatly reduce the danger.
Safety guard
CAUTION! Never use the machine for
any reason without the
recommended safety guard for the
cutting device in use. The use of an
inadequate or defective guard can
cause serious injuries. Periodically,
check its conditions and replace if
necessary.
• This very important safety device (fig. A no.19)
prevents any objects that come into contact
with the cutting device, or the grass itself, from
flying up and striking the operator. It should be
checked regularly; check the assembly and
make sure the fastening screws are tight (see
"Assembly of safety guard").
• If you strike any hard objects that cause
structural damage to the guard on the cutting
device, take the machine to an authorized
service center for replacement of the guard.
