B) PREPARATION

1. While mowing, always wear substantial footwear and long trousers. Do not operate the machine when barefoot or wearing open sandals.
2. Thoroughly inspect the area where the machine is to be used and remove all objects that may be thrown by the machine (stones, sticks, metal wire, bones etc.).
3. Before using the lawnmower, always carry out a visual inspection of the machine, particularly of the blade, checking that the screws and cutter assembly are not worn or damaged. Replace worn or damaged blades and screws in sets to preserve balance.
4. Before mowing, attach a discharge opening guard (stone deflector and/or grass catcher).
5. WARNING: DANGER! Damp and electricity do not go together.
   • The handling and connection of cables must be done in the dry.
   • Use a 30 mA residual-current device (RCD).
   • Never allow contact between an electric socket or cable and a wet area (e.g. a puddle or damp grass).
   • Connections between cables and sockets must be of the waterproof type. Only use extension cables with moulded-on waterproofing or approved sockets available commercially.
6. The power supply cables must not be of lower quality than the H05RN-F, H05RR-F, H05WF and H05VVH2-F types for outdoor use and must have a minimum cross-section size of 1.5 sq. mm.
7. Clamp the cable onto the cable hook before starting the machine.
8. Permanent connection of any electrical device to a building’s circuit must be performed by a qualified electrician under electrical regulations in force. An incorrect connection may cause severe injury or death.

OPERATION

1. Mow only in daylight or good artificial light.
2. Avoid operating the machine on wet grass or when it is raining.
3. Never run over the power cable with the lawnmower. While mowing, the cable should always be pulled behind the lawnmower and always from the area of grass already cut. Use the cable hook in the way already described in this manual to avoid unexpected disconnection of the cable. Ensure that the plug is properly inserted but avoid forcing it into the power socket.
4. Never pull the lawnmower by its power cable or pull the cable to remove the plug. Do not expose the cable to sources of heat or let it come into contact with oil, solvents or sharp objects.
5. Always be sure of your footing on slopes.
6. Walk, never run and do not allow yourself to be pulled along by the lawnmower.
7. Mow across the face of slopes, never up and down.
8. Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes.
9. Do not mow on slopes of more than 20°.
10. Exercise extreme caution when pulling the lawnmower towards you.
11. Stop the blade if the lawnmower has to be tilted for transportation when crossing surfaces other than grass, and also when transporting the lawnmower to and from the area to be mowed.
12. Never operate the lawnmower with defective or missing guards or safety devices, such as the stone deflector and/or grass catcher.
13. On those models with drive traction, disengage the drive clutch before starting the motor.
14. Start the motor carefully according to the instructions and with your feet well away from the blade.
15. Do not tilt the lawnmower when starting the motor. Start the motor on a flat surface that is free of obstacles and tall grass.
16. Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts. Keep clear of the discharge opening at all times.
17. Never pick up or carry a lawnmower while the motor is running.
18. Stop the motor and disconnect the power supply cable
    • before carrying out any work beneath the cutting deck or unclogging the chute;
    • before checking, cleaning or working on the lawnmower;
    • after striking a foreign object (inspect the lawnmower for damage and make repairs before restarting and operating the lawnmower);
    • if the lawnmower starts to vibrate abnormally (immediately check and remove the cause of the vibration);
    • whenever you leave the lawnmower unattended;
    • when transporting the lawnmower.
19. Stop the motor
    • every time the grass catcher is removed or replaced;
    • before regulating the grass-cutting height.
20. When mowing, always stay at a safe distance from the rotating blade. This distance is the length of the handle.

MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

1. Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the machine is in safe working condition. Regular maintenance is essential for safety and for maintaining performance levels.

2. To reduce the risk of fire, keep the lawnmower, and particularly the motor, free of grass, leaves and excessive grease. Do not leave garden waste containers inside a room.

3. Check the stone deflector and the grass catcher frequently for wear and deterioration.

4. Periodically check the power cables and replace them if they are damaged or if the insulation has been damaged. Never touch a badly insulated cable if it is still connected to the power supply.
   Remove the cable from the socket before taking any action.

5. Wear strong work gloves when removing and reassembling the blade.

6. Check the blade’s balance after sharpening.

7. For reasons of safety, do not use the machine with worn cables or damaged parts. Parts must be replaced, not repaired. Use genuine spare parts (blades should always bear the symbol). Parts that are not of an equivalent quality can damage the machine and be a risk to your safety.

ASSEMBLY

• Attach the stone deflector by inserting the pin (Fig. 3.01 item 1) and the spring (2) as shown.
• First, insert the pin into the right-hand housing (Fig. 3.01 item 4).
• Next, insert the spring’s eyelet end (3) into the central slot, and, lastly, insert the other end into the position shown (5).
• Insert the handle’s lower right part (Fig. 3.02 item.1) and lower left part (2) into the respective holes and lock them into position with the supplied screws (Fig. 3.02 item 3).
• Attach the upper part of the handle (Fig. 3.02 item 4) to the lower part using the knobs (5) and the supplied nuts and bolts, as shown.
• Attach the cable clamp (6) at the position shown, then attach the cable (7).
• The correct position of the power cable hook (8) is as shown.
• When using a rigid grass catcher, assemble the two parts (Fig. 3.03 items 1 and 2), making sure that the hooks are fully clicked into position.
• Attach the wheels, selecting the hole for the preferred cutting height (Fig. 3.04).

DESCRIPTION OF CONTROLS

• The motor is controlled by a dual-action switch to prevent it from being started accidentally.
• To start the motor, pull the lever (Fig. 4.01 item 1) and press the button (2). The motor automatically stops releasing the lever (Fig. 4.01 item 1).
• WARNING: The blade continues to rotate after the machine is switched off.
• The cutting height is adjusted by attaching the wheels to the required hole (Fig. 4.02). All the wheels must be at the same height. MAKE THIS ADJUSTMENT ONLY WHEN THE BLADE IS STOPPED.

GRASS CUTTING

• Lift the stone deflector and correctly attach the rigid grass catcher (Fig. 5.01 item 1).
• Start the motor by pulling the lever (Fig. 5.02 item 1) of the switchgear and pressing the safety button (2). If it is necessary to tilt the machine to encourage the motor to start on grass, it should only be tilted from the front.
• While mowing, ensure that the power cable is always behind you and on the area of grass already cut (Fig.5.03).
• The lawn’s appearance will be improved if it is always cut to the same height and is cut in alternate directions.
• Once mowing is finished, release the lever (Fig. 5.04 item 1). FIRST, disconnect the cable extension from the supply socket (2), THEN disconnect the other end of the cable extension from the lawnmower’s switchgear (3).
• Wait for the blade to stop before carrying out any type of work on the lawnmower.

IMPORTANT NOTE
If the motor stops due to overheating during use, wait for about 5 minutes before.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

• After work has been carried out on the blade, reassemble it as shown in the illustration, tightening the central screw (Fig. 6.01 item 1) to 16-18 Nm (1.6-1.8 km).
