SAFETY REGULATIONS

TO BE FOLLOWED CAREFULLY
WARNING! When using the machine the safety rules must
be followed. For your own safety and bystanders please
read these instructions before operating the machine.
Please keep the instructions for later use.
A) TRAINING
1) Read the instructions carefully. Get familiar with the con-
trols and the proper use of the equipment. Learn how to stop
the engine quickly.
2) Only use the lawnmower for the purpose for which it was
designed, i.e. for cutting grass. Any other use can be haz-
ardous, causing injury or damage to people and/or property.
3) Remember that the operator or user is responsible for acci-
dents or hazards occurring to other people or their property.
B) PREPARATION
1) While mowing, always wear sturdy footwear and long
trousers. Do not operate the equipment when barefoot or
wearing open sandals.
2) Wear protective glasses or goggles.
3) Never allow children or people unfamiliar with these instruc-
tions to use the lawnmower. Local regulations may restrict the
age of the operator.
4) Never use the lawnmower:
– When people, especially children, or pets are nearby;
– If the operator has taken medicine or substances that can
affect his ability to react and concentrate.
5) Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be
used and remove all objects which may be thrown by the
machine (stones, sticks, metal wire, bones, etc.)
6) Before use, always inspect the machine, especially the con-
dition of the cutting elements, and check that the screws and
cutting assembly are not worn or damaged.
7) WARNING: DANGER! Damp and electricity do not go
together:
– cables must be handled and wired when dry
– never allow contact between an electric socket or cable with
a wet area (puddles or damp grass);
– connections between cables and sockets must be of the
waterproof type. Only use extension cables with moulded-on
waterproof or approved sockets available commercially.
– power the machine using a residual current device (RCD
Residual Current Device) with max. 30 mA tripping current.
8) The power supply cables must not be of lower quality than
the H05RN-F or H05VV-F type with minimum cross-section
size of 1.5 mm2 and max. 25 m long.
9) Attach the cable onto the cable clamp before starting the
machine.
10) The permanent wiring of any electrical device to the mains
must be carried out by a qualified electrician, in accordance
with electrical regulations in force. Incorrect wiring may cause
severe injury or death.
C) OPERATION
1) Mow only in daylight or good artificial light.
2) Avoid operating the equipment on wet grass or in the rain.
3) Never go over the electric cable with the lawnmower.
While cutting, the cable should always be pulled behind the
lawnmower and always from the area of grass already cut. Use
14
the cable clamp as described in this manual to prevent the
cable from disconnecting by accident. Ensure that it is proper-
ly inserted without forcing 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 in contact with oil, solvents or sharp
objects.
5) Always be sure of your footing on slopes.
6) Walk, never run.
7) Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on
slopes.
8) Stop the motor if the lawnmower has to be tilted for trans-
portation when crossing surfaces other than grass, and when
transporting the lawnmower to and from the area to be mowed.
9) Never operate the machine with damaged guards or without
the guards in place.
10) Start the engine carefully, following the instructions and
keeping feet well away from the cutting elements.
11) Do not tilt the lawnmower when switching on the engine
unless it is strictly necessary for start-up. In this case, do not
tilt it more than is strictly necessary and only lift the part fur-
thest away from the operator. Check that both hands are posi-
tioned correctly before lowering the lawnmower.
12) Keep hands and feet away from the cutting elements at all
times and especially when switching on the motor.
13) Never pick up or carry a lawnmower while the engine is run-
ning.
14) Stop the motor and disconnect the power supply cable:
– before carrying out any work underneath the cutting deck;
– 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, find and
remove the cause of the vibration immediately;
– whenever you leave the lawnmower unattended.
– when transporting the equipment.
15) Stop the motor:
– before adjusting the grass cutting height.
16) When mowing, always keep to a safe distance from the
rotating cutting elements. This distance is the length of the
handle.
D) MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
1) After use, disconnect the machine from the mains and check
for damage.
2) Disconnect the machine from the mains before check-
ing, cleaning or working on the machine and when it is not
in use.
3) When not in use store the machine out of the reach of chil-
dren.
4) To reduce the fire hazard, keep the lawnmower, especially
the engine, free of grass, leaves, or excessive grease. Do not
leave containers with grass cuttings in rooms.
5) Periodically check the electric cables and replace them
if they are damaged or if the insulation has been damaged.
Never touch a badly insulated cable if it still connected to the
power supply. Remove the cable from the socket before taking
any action.
6) Never use replacement parts or accessories not provided or
recommended by the manufacturer.
7) Never fit metal cutting elements.
8) The machine should only be repaired by an authorised
repairer.
9) After replacing the cutting elements, always return the
machine to its normal operating position before switching on.
10) Wear strong work gloves when removing and reassem-
bling the cutting elements.
11) For reasons of safety, do not use the equipment with
worn cables or damaged parts. Parts are to be replaced and
not repaired.
