Replace worn exhaust pipes.
18
-
Before starting the engine, always check that the blade, blade bolts and
all cutting parts are not worn or damaged. Replace any worm or dama-
ged blade or bolts an entire set at a time, to keep the machine in balance.
19
-
Do not run the engine in a confined space where fumes containing car-
bon monoxide can accumulate.
20
-
Only use the grass cutter in daylight or good artificial light
21

Do not stop or start suddenly on an incline. Slow down on inclines and
on close turns to avoid tipping over or loss of control. Be very careful if
you are turning on an incline.
22

Land-related risks :
- If the area is a steep incline : never trim going up or down the slope, but
follow a line at right ongles to the slope.
- If the area is covered with natural or man-made obstacles, such as
rocks, loose stones, tree trunks, bottles, pieces of metal, stakes, and all
types of foreign objects, these may become dangerous projectiles and
put undue pressure on the cutting tool. They should therefore be avoi-
ded.
- Beware of slipping on sloping or wet ground.
23
-
Never use scrub-cutters if housing protector covers are defective, or
without the safety mechanism in use.
24
-
Never modify the engine speed settings, and do not over-rev the
engine.
25
-
Make sure that the cutting equipment is not engaged when going over
gravel or earth paths, and when transporting the equipment in general.
26
-
Avoid cutting near residential areas, pathways and roads or parking
areas.
27
-
Never allow children or people unfamiliar with these instructions to use
this grass cutter.
28
-
Never cut pulling the machine towards you.
29
-
When transporting the grass cutter other than under its own power, the
engine must be switched off.

while work is in progress.
Since objects can be projected up to 40 metres, mark out the danger
zone according to the diagram opposite, as detailed in the following
paragraph:
Area for clearance =
A' - B' - C' - D'
Security perimeter =
A - B - C - D
The shaded strips must be at least 40 metres wide
