Maintenance & Storage; Environmental Protection; Description Of The Machine And Planned Use - Stiga EW 330 Operator's Manual

Restrictions for use
• Never operate the machine with damaged, missing
or incorrectly assembled guards (grass catcher,
side discharge guards rear discharge guards)
• Don't use the machine if the attachments/
tools are not installed in their seats.
• Never disengage, deactivate, remove or tamper
with the safety systems/micro switches installed.
• Do not strain the machine too much and do not
use a small machine for heavy duty work. If you
use the right machine, you will reduce the risk of
hazards and improve the quality of your work.
• Power up the machine using a differential
switch (RCD - Residual Current Device)
with a tripping current of max. 30 mA.
• Machine plugs must always match the relative
outlets. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not
use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded)
machines. Unmodified plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
• The permanent connection of any electrical
equipment to the mains of a building must be
installed by a qualified electrician in conformity
with the regulations in force. Incorrect wiring
can cause serious injury and even death.
• The quality of the power cables must be no less than
H07RN-F or H07VV-F, with a minimum section of 1.5
mm² and a recommended maximum length of 25 m.
2.4 MAINTENANCE, STORAGE
Ensure regular maintenance and correct storage to
maintain machine safety and high performance levels.
Maintenance
• Never use the machine with worn or damaged
parts. Faulty or worn-out parts must always
be replaced and never repaired.
• 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.
• The noise and vibration levels shown in these
instructions are the maximum levels for use of the
machine. The use of an unbalanced cutting element,
the excessive speed of movement, or the absence
of maintenance 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 whilst working.
Storage
• To reduce fire risks, do not leave containers
with debris inside a room.
2.5

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

Safeguarding the environment must be a relevant
and priority 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
packaging, deteriorated parts or any elements with
a strong environmental impact; this waste must
not be disposed of as normal waste, it must be
separated and taken to specified waste disposal
centres where the material will be recycled.
• Scrupulously 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 compliance with
national standards, old electrical equipment
must be collected separately, for eco-compatible
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.
At the end of their working life, dispose
of batteries paying due attention to
the environment. Batteries contain
material classified as hazardous for
you and the environment. They must
be removed and disposed of separately at a
facility that accepts lithium-ion batteries.
Separate waste collection of the products
and packaging used allows the materials to
be recycled and reused. Reuse of recycled
materials help to prevent environmental pollution
and reduces the demand for raw materials.
3. GETTING TO KNOW THE MACHINE
3.1 DESCRIPTION OF THE MACHINE
AND PLANNED USE
This machine is pedestrian controlled lawnmower.
The machine is essentially composed of an
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.
3.1.1 Intended use
This machine was designed and manufactured
for cutting (and collecting) grass in gardens and
grassy areas, in proportion to its cutting capacity,
carried out by a pedestrian operator.
Generally speaking this machine can:
• Mow the grass and collect it in the grass catcher
