Safety

!
1. WARNING - Before cleaning or doing
!
maintenance work, you need to stop the
engine and disconnect the spark plug cable
and read the relevant instructions. You need
to wear proper clothing and protective gloves
whenever your hands are at risk.
2. WARNING - If there are worn or
!
damaged parts, never use the machine. Faulty
or worn-out parts must be replaced and not
repaired. You must only use original spare
parts. The use of non-original and/or
incorrectly fitted parts will jeopardize the
safety of the machine. This may also cause
accidents or personal injuries for which the
manufacturer is under no circumstance liable
or responsible.
3. Any maintenance operations or adjustments
not explained in this manual must be carried
out by your Dealer or a specialised Service
Centre with the necessary knowledge and
equipment to ensure that the work is done
correctly maintaining the machine's original
safety level. Any operations performed in
unauthorised centres or by unqualified
persons will invalidate the Warranty and all
obligations and responsibilities of the
Manufacturer.
4. Disconnect the spark plug cable and
check for damage after each use.
5. To be sure the machine is in safe working
condition, keep all nuts, screws and bolts
tight. Routine maintenance is essential for
safety and for maintaining a high performance
level.
6. On a regular basis, check that the blades
screws are properly tightened.
7. When handling, disassembling and
re-assembling the blade, make sure to wear
work gloves.
8. Keep the blade well balanced during
34
sharpening. All work on the blade
(disassembly, sharpening, balancing,
re-assembly and/or replacing) should be
carried out at a specialised centre as they are
demanding jobs that require special skills and
special tools.
9. Be very careful during adjustment of the
machine to prevent entrapment of the fingers
between moving parts of the blade and fixed
parts of the machine.

has been disconnected and the blade is
completely stationery. When servicing the
blade, even though the spark plug cable is
disconnected, the blade can still move.
11. Check the grass collector frequently.
Replace if damaged.
12. If any warning message stickers or
instruction is damaged, replace them.

tank in an area where the fuel vapours could
reach an open flame, a strong heat source or a
spark.
15. Engine must be cooled down before storing.
16. To reduce fire hazards, keep the engine,
silencer, battery compartment and petrol
storage area free of grass, leaves, or
excessive grease. You must always empty the
grass collector and do not leave containers full
of cut grass inside storage areas.
17. To reduce fire hazards, check there is no oil
and/or fuel leaks on a regular basis.
18. If you need to empty the fuel tank, this
should be done outdoors once the engine has
cooled down.
