SAFETY REGULATIONS
to be observed scrupulously
A) TRAINING
1) Read the instructions carefully. Become familiar with the controls and
the proper use of the lawnmower. Learn how to stop the engine quickly.
2) Never allow children or persons unfamiliar with these instructions to
use the lawnmower. Local regulations can restrict the minimum age of
the operator.
3) Never use the lawnmower:
– when people, especially children or pets are nearby;
– if the operator is tired or unwell, or has taken medicine, drugs, alcohol
or any substances that may impair his ability to react and be attentive.
4) Bear in mind that the operator or user is responsible for accidents or
unexpected events occurring to other people or their property.
B) PRELIMINARY OPERATIONS
1) While mowing, always wear sturdy slip-resistant footwear and long
trousers. Do not operate the lawnmower when barefoot or wearing open
sandals.
2) Thoroughly inspect the entire work area and remove anything that could
be thrown by the machine or damage the cutting unit or engine (stones,
branches, iron wire, bones, etc.).
3) WARNING: DANGER! Petrol is highly flammable.
– store the fuel in suitable containers;
– add fuel using a funnel, only outdoors; never smoke while doing this and
whenever fuel is handled;
– add petrol before starting the engine; never add petrol or remove the
petrol tank cap while the engine is running or when it is hot;
– if you have spilt some fuel, do not attempt to start the engine but move the
lawnmower away from the area of spillage to avoid creating any source
of ignition until the fuel has evaporated and fuel vapours have dissipated.
– always put the tank and fuel container caps back on and tighten well;
4) Replace faulty silencers
5) Before use, always inspect generally the machine and in particular:
- the safety lever must move freely, it must not need forcing and should
return automatically and rapidly back to the neutral position determining
cutting means stopping;
- to see that the blade, screws and cutting unit are not worn or damaged.
Replace damaged or worn blades and screws to preserve balance. Re-
place damaged or unreadable labels.
6) Before starting work, fit the exit guards (grass-catcher or stone-guard).
GETTING TO KNOW THE MACHINE
DESCRIPTION OF THE MACHINE AND ITS RANGE OF USE
This machine is a garden equipment, namely a pedestrian controlled lawn-
mower.
The machine is essentially composed of a engine which drives a blade
enclosed in a casing, equipped with wheels and a handle. The operator
is able to operate the machine and use the main controls, always staying
behind the handle at a safe distance from the rotating blade. If the operator
leaves the machine, the engine and blade will stop within a few seconds.
Intended use
This machine was designed and manufactured for cutting (and collecting)
grass in gardens and grassy areas, in areas in proportion to its cutting
capacity, done by a pedestrian operator. The presence of accessories or
specific devices can prevent cut grass from being collected, depositing cut
grass on the ground.
Improper use ¶
Any other usage may be hazardous and harm persons and/or damage
things. Examples of improper use may include, but are not limited to:
– transporting persons, children or animals on the machine;
– letting oneself be transported by the machine;
– using the machine to tow or push loads;
– using the machine for leaf or debris collection;
– using the machine to trim hedges, or for cutting vegetation other than
grass;
– use of the machine by more than one person;
– using the blades on surfaces other than grass.
