21) On power-driven models, disengage the wheel drive
before igniting the engine.
22) Use manufacturer-recommended attachments only.
23) Don't use the machine if the attachments/tools are not
installed in their seats.
24) Disengage the cutting means, switch off the engine and
unplug the spark plug cable (making sure that all moving
parts are stationary):
– When transporting the machine;
– Whenever you leave the machine unattended; also re-
move the key on models with electric ignition systems;
– 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.
25) Disengage the cutting means and switch off the engine:
– Before refuelling;
– Whenever you remove or reattach the grass catcher;
– Whenever you remove or reattach the side discharge
chute;
– Before adjusting the cutting height, if this operation can
not be performed from the driving seat.
26) When working, always keep a safe distance from the
rotary cutting means, given by the length of the handle.
27) Reduce the throttle setting before stopping the engine.
Shut off the fuel supply on completing the work, following
the instructions in the engine manual.
28) WARNING – If something breaks or an accident occurs
whilst working, 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 immedi-
ately and contact the medical authorities for any necessary
health care. Carefully remove any debris that might cause
damage or harm persons or animals should it not be seen.
29) WARNING – The noise and vibration levels shown in
these instructions are the maximum levels for use of the
machine. The use of an unbalanced cutting means, the
excessive speed of movement, or the absence of mainte-
nance have a significant influence on noise emissions and
vibrations. Consequently, it is necessary to take preven-
tive 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.
D) MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
1) WARNING! – Before cleaning or doing maintenance
work, disconnect the spark plug cable and read the relevant
instructions. Wear proper clothing and protective gloves
whenever your hands are at risk.
2) WARNING! – Never use the machine with worn or dam-
aged parts. Faulty or worn-out parts must always be re-
placed and not repaired. Only use original spare parts: The
use of non-original and/or incorrectly fitted parts will jeop-
ardize the safety of the machine, may cause accidents or
personal injuries for which the Manufacturer is under no
circumstance liable or responsible.
3) Any adjustments or maintenance operations not de-
scribed in this manual must be carried out by your Dealer
or a specialized Service Centre with the necessary knowl-
edge and equipment to ensure that the work is done cor-
rectly maintaining the machine's original safety level. Any
operations performed in unauthorized centres or by un-
qualified persons will totally invalidate the Warranty and all
obligations and responsibilities of the Manufacturer.
4) After each use, disconnect the spark plug cable and
check for damage.
5) Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the ma-
chine is in safe working condition. Routine maintenance
is essential for safety and for maintaining a high perform-
ance level.
6) Check that the cutting means screws are properly tight-
ened on a regular basis.
7) Wear work gloves when handling, disassembling and re-
assembling all cutting means.
8) Keep the cutting means well balanced during sharpen-
ing. All work on the cutting means (disassembly, sharpen-
ing, balancing, reassembly and/or replacing) are demand-
ing jobs that require special skills as well as special tools.
For safety reasons, these jobs are best carried out at a
specialised centre.
9) Be careful during adjustment of the machine to prevent
entrapment of the fingers between moving parts of the cut-
ting means and fixed parts of the machine.
10) Do not touch the cutting means until the spark plug ca-
ble has been disconnected and the cutting means is com-
pletely stationary. When servicing the cutting means, bear
in mind that, even though the spark plug cable is discon-
nected, the cutting means can still move.
11) Check the side discharge guard, the rear discharge
guard and the grass catcher frequently. Replace them if
they are damaged.
12) Replace any instruction or warning message stickers,
if damaged.
13) Store the machine out of the reach of children.
14) Do not store the machine with fuel in the tank in an area
where the fuel vapours could reach an open flame, a spark
or a strong heat source.
15) Allow the engine to cool down before storing in any en-
closure.
16) To reduce fire hazards, keep the engine, silencer, bat-
tery compartment and petrol storage area free of grass,
leaves, or excessive grease. Always empty the grass
catcher and do not leave containers full of cut grass inside
storage areas.
17) To reduce fire hazards, check there are no oil and/or
fuel leaks on a regular basis.
18) If the fuel tank has to be emptied, this should be done
outdoors once the engine has cooled down.
E) TRANSPORTATION AND HANDLING
1) Whenever the machine is to be handled, lifted, transport-
ed or tilted you must:
– Wear sturdy work gloves;
– Grasp the machine at the points that offer a safe grip,
taking into account the weight and relative distribution
of the same
– Use an appropriate number of people for the weight of
the machine and the characteristics of the vehicle or the
place where it must be placed or collected
– Make sure that machine movements do not cause petrol
leaks, damage or injuries.
2) During transport, fasten the machine securely with ca-
bles or chains.
G) ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
1) Environmental protection should be a priority of consid-
erable importance when using the machine, for the benefit
of both social coexistence and the environment in which
