Work area/Machine

• Thoroughly inspect the entire work area and remove anything that could be thrown by the machine or damage the cutting means/rotating units (stones, branches, iron wire, bones, etc.).

DURING OPERATION

• Do not use the machine in environments at risk of explosion, in the presence of flammable liquids, gas or powder. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Do not expose the machine to rain or wet environments. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
• Work only in daylight or with good artificial light in good visibility conditions.
• Avoid working with wet grass, in the rain and when there is a risk of a thunderstorm, especially lightening.
• Keep persons, children and animals away from the working area. Get another adult to keep the children under supervision.
• Pay careful attention to uneven ground (hills, dips), slopes, hidden hazards and obstacles that could limit visibility.
• Be very careful near ravines, ditches or embankments. The machine could overturn if a wheel slides over the edge or if the earth gives way.
• Always mow across a slope and never up and down it, being very careful when changing direction, making sure you have firm footage and that the wheels do not hit any obstacles (such as stones, branches, roots, etc.) that may cause the machine to slide sideways or make you lose control of it.
• The machine must not be used on slopes of over 20°, regardless of the mowing direction.
• Stop the cutting device if the lawnmower must be inclined for transport, when moving over surfaces other than grass and when the lawnmower is transported from or to an area that must be cut.
• Do not incline the lawnmower during start up. Start up the machine on a flat surface without obstacles or high grass. Be extremely careful when pull the lawnmower toward you.
• Look behind you to make sure there are no obstacles before and during operations in reverse gear.
• Never run, always walk.
• Do not allow the lawnmower to pull you along.
• Always keep hands and feet away from the cutting means, when starting and when using the machine.
• Keep away from the discharge opening.
• Never operate the machine with damaged, missing or incorrectly assembled guards (grass catcher, side discharge guards rear discharge guards).
• Never disengage, deactivate, remove or tamper with the safety systems/micro switches installed.
• Disengage the cutting device, stop the engine and remove the safety key (for battery models) or disconnect the power cable (for models with electric cable), making sure that all moving parts have come to a complete stop:
  • When transporting the machine;
  • Whenever you leave the lawnmower unattended;
  • Before clearing blockages or unclogging the discharge chute;
  • Before checking, cleaning or working on the machine;
  • After striking a foreign object. Inspect the machine for damage and make repairs before using it again;
  • If the machine begins to vibrate abnormally: check for any damage; check for loose parts and tighten them; arrange for checks, replacements or repairs at a Specialized Centre.

If something breaks or an accident occurs during mowing, turn off the engine immediately and move the machine away to prevent further damage; if an accident occurs with injuries or third parties are injured, carry out the first aid measures most suitable for the situation immediately and contact the medical authorities for any necessary health care. Carefully remove any debris which could cause damage or injury to persons or animals if ignored.

MAINTENANCE, STORAGE AND TRANSPORT
Ensure regular maintenance and correct storage to maintain machine safety and high performance levels.

• Never use the machine with worn or damaged parts. Faulty or worn-out parts must always be replaced and never repaired. Only use original spare parts.
• While adjusting the machine, pay attention to avoid getting your fingers caught between the moving cutting device and the fixed parts of the machine.
• To reduce fire risks, do not leave containers with debris inside a room.

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 while working.
