SAFETY REGULATIONS
1) Read the instructions carefully. Get familiar
with the controls and proper use of the equip-
ment. Learn how to stop the engine quickly.
2) Only use the lawnmower for the purpose for
which it was designed, i.e. for cutting and col-
lecting grass. Any other use can be hazardous,
causing damage to the machine.
3) Never allow children or people unfamiliar with
these instructions 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 sub-
stances that can affect his ability to react and
concentrate.
5) Remember that the operator or user is
responsible for accidents or hazards occurring
to other people or their property.
1) While mowing, always wear sturdy footwear
and long trousers. Do not operate the equip-
ment when barefoot or wearing open sandals.
2) Thoroughly inspect the area where the equip-
ment is to be used and remove all objects which
may be thrown by the machine or damage the
cutter assembly and the engine (stones, sticks,
metal wire, bones, etc.)
3) WARNING: DANGER! Engine fuel is highly
flammable:
– Store fuel in containers specifically designed
for this purpose.
– Refuel using a funnel and outdoors only. Do
not smoke while refuelling or whenever han-
dling the fuel.
– Add fuel before starting the engine. Never
remove the cap of the fuel tank or add fuel while
the engine is running or when the engine is hot.
– If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the
engine but move the machine away from the
area of spillage and avoid creating any source
of ignition until the fuel has evaporated and the
vapour dispersed.
– Replace all fuel tanks and containers caps
securely.
4) Substitute faulty silencers.
5) Before use, always inspect the machine,
especially the condition of the blades, and
check that the screws and cutting assembly are
not worn or damaged. Replace worn or dam-
aged blades and screws in sets to preserve bal-
ance.
6) Before mowing, attach the discharge opening
guards (grass-catcher or stone-guard).
