Do not start the machine in a closed area.
The exhaust fumes, the vapours of the petrol
and oil, all contain carbon monoxide and
other dangerous chemical substances. In case of gas
concentration due to insufficient ventilation, eliminate
from the work area everything that impedes the
correct flow of air and do not work in this area again
until it is well ventilated and the gas concentration
does not happen again.
Mow only at daylight or in good artificial light. Do not
use this machine at night, with fog and with reduced
visibility. Always make sure that you can clearly see all
the working area.
Avoid operating the equipment in wet grass, where
feasible. Take special care when using this machine
in the rain or after rain because the ground is slippery
and you can slip.
If you slip or fall stop accelerating and move the
switch to "O" (Off).
Do not bring any cutting elements near when the
machine is in use and the engine running.
Do not rely solely on the warning signs on the
machine. Be always alert.
It is neccesary to pay attention to posible loosening or
overheating of parts of the machine. If you detect any
anomalies stop inmediatly the machine and check it
carefully. In case of failure take the machine to
the repair service. In any case you should continue
working if you feel that the performance is not correct.
Remember to always use the machine with clean
hands and without petrol and oil.
Clean the work area and eliminate any obstacles that
could cause accidents. Check the working area and
remove any objects that could cause the cutting tool
of the machine to get tangled on. Also remove any
parts that the cutting tool could violently hit causing
these to move in the direction of the user or other
people and/or animals.
Do not allow any other person into the work area.
All other people must be at least at a distance of 15
metres as it is a dangerous area.
Never leave this machine unattended.
It is imperative that the engine is turned off when
carrying the machine from one working area to another.
Never touch elements that can be hot during
the start up or operating the machine, for
example, the escape, sparks or high voltage
cables.
Do not use accessories except those recommended
by our company as otherwise the use of other non
original accessories could cause severe damages to
the end user, to passers-by and to the machine.
Always follow the safety rules stated in this manual.
