PERSONAL SECURITY
Be alert and vigilant and use common sense when using the machine.
Do not use the machine when you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medicines. One moments distraction can cause serious personal injury.
Never use the machine without the safety features.
Avoid the accidental start up of the machine. Verify that the switch is in the ¨open¨ position before connecting to the mains. Never transport the machine with your finger on the switch or with the switch in the ¨closed¨ position as it can be dangerous to your security and can cause accidents.
Remove all tools from the working area before starting the machine. Any tools left in the working area can be touched by any moving part of the machine and be hurled causing personal damages.
Do not overreach. Maintain both feet firmly on the ground at all times. Do not use this machine on slopes surpassing 15o. Comber on small hillocks  can be dangerous. Be vigilant when walking on steep inclines and with wet grass. Be particularly careful when changing working direction on an incline.
Be careful when walking on slopes or wet grass. Take special caution when changing direction on slopes.
Do not comber backwards or pulling the machine. Be alert when pulling the machine backwards.
Dress adequately. Do not use the machine barefoot or wearing sandals. Always use resistant shoes and long trousers.
Do not place your hands or feet under the lawnmower. Maintain all parts of the body well away from the blade when the machine is running. Before starting the lawnmower, ensure that the blade has not come into contact with any object.
Hold the comber with both hands from the handle and place your body behind the comber.
Maintain all body parts well clear of any moving parts when the machine is in use. Before starting the machine, check that the moving element is not in contact with any object. One moment of carelessness and your clothing or any body part could get caught up in the moving parts.
If the machine vibrates abnormally, stop the engine and inspect the machine looking for the possible cause and repair it. If you do not find the motive, take the machine to your nearest after sales dealer.
Make sure the machine has stopped completely before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning work on the machine and the working area.
Store all electric machines well away from children.

VIBRATIONS
The prolonged use of the machine, exposes the client to vibrations that in extreme cases and through many hours of use of the machine could cause the ¨white finger syndrome¨ also known as Raynaud phenomenon. This causes a reduction in the tact of the fingers and their capacity to regulate temperature generating a lack of sensibility. This sickness could in extreme cases cause problems with the nerve endings.
The exposure to the vibrations is the cause of the white finger syndrome. To minimize this effect as much as possible, follow the following recommendations:

• Always use gloves.
• Always have your hands warm.
• Take frequent breaks.
• Always hold the machine tightly by the handles.

If you detect any of the symptoms of the white finger syndrome, consult immediately with your doctor.

WORKING AREA SECURITY
Maintain the working area clean and work with good light. Untidy working areas and dark conditions can cause accidents.
Inspect the working area and remove all stones, wood, cables and strange objects that could be touched and propelled by the moving parts of the machine.
Do not use the machine in explosive atmospheres or in the presence of inflammable liquids, gases and powders. Electric machines can release sparks that could ignite the inflammable liquids, gases and powders.
Maintain children, other people and animals well clear of the machine whilst working. Distractions can cause the loss of control. Be vigilant and stop any children, other people and animals coming into the working area.
Do not use this machine at night, with fog or with reduced visibility that does not allow you to see the working area.

ELECTRICAL SECURITY
The electrical switch of this machine must coincide with the mains switch. Do not modify the switch in any way. If no parts have been modified and they fit perfectly, there will be no electric shock accidents. Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces such as tubes, radiators, electric kitchens and refrigerators. There is a higher electric  shock possibility if your body is earthed.
Don’t expose this machine to rain, wet or humid conditions. If water enters the machine there will be a higher risk of electric shock.
Do not overstretch the cable. Do not use the cable to transport the machine, lift the machine and to unplug the machine. Maintain the cable far away from heat sources, oil, sharp edges or other moving parts. Damaged or tangled cables increase the risk of electric shock.
Never use this machine if the cable or the plug are damaged. Before connecting the machine check that the cable and the plug are not damaged. If you discover that either of these elements are damaged, take your machine to your nearest after sales dealer. Should the cable be damaged, unplug the machine immediately. Damaged or tangled cables increase the risk of electric shock. The substitution of the plug or cable should be
done by an approved and homologated after sales service. We recommend that this machine should be connected to residual differential whose current is lower or equal to 30mA.
Never use a connecting base that is damaged or that does not comply with current normative or with the requisites established for this machine in this manual.
When using a cable extension, make sure that its minimum section is 1.5mm2 and no longer than 25 meters, always unrolled and adequate for outdoor use. The use of the cable extension adequate for outdoor use, reduces the risk of electric shock.
Place the cable extension in such a way that it will not get caught in branches or other obstacles and in such a way that it is not in the working area. The cable and any extensions must always be behind the machine and the end user.
Always hold the cable extension in the hook provided on the machine.
Connect this machine to alternate current 230V/50Hz.
Do not touch this machine with wet hands. Risk of electric shock. Maintain the cable well clear of the moving element at all times.
Do not use this machine if the ¨open¨ and ¨closed¨ switch does not work. Any electric machine that cannot be controlled by the electric switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Always disconnect the machine before carrying out any work on the machine. Only manipulate the machine when disconnected.

USAGE AND CARE OF THIS MACHINE

Do not use this machine for other uses. The use of this machine for other uses for which it has not been designed could cause dangerous situations.
Use this machine, accessories and all its parts according to the instruction manual and taking into account working conditions and working area. The use of this machine for jobs different to those specified in the instruction manual can cause dangerous situations.
The manufacturer will not be in any case held responsible for damages caused through an inadequate or incorrect usage of this machine.
Do not overload the machine. Use the machine
for the work it has been designed for. The correct machine usage will allow you to work better and in a more secure way.
Do not run with the comber. Walk at the correct speed that will allow the machine to do its job.
Do not use this machine if the ¨open¨ and ¨closed¨ switch does not work. Any electric machine that cannot be controlled by the electric switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Look after the machine. Check that all moving parts are well aligned and that they are not blocked, that there are no broken pieces or other conditions that could affect the proper functioning of the machine. If this machine is damaged, always repair it before using it again. Most accidents occur because of poor maintenance.
Maintain the moving elements clean. The moving elements if clean will comber better, do a better job, have less chance of getting tangled and easier to control.
Turn off and disconnect the machine from the mains before carrying out any maintenance work such as adjustments, cleaning, transportation (even if you are just moving the machine from one working area to another however close by this might be), elevating the machine, maintenance or storage of the machine. These simple security measures reduce the risk of accidental start up.
