for accidents or unexpected events occurring to other
people or their property. It is the user’s responsibility to
assess the potential risk of the area where work is to be
carried out and to take all the necessary precautions
to ensure his own safety and that of others, particularly
on slopes or rough, slippery and unstable ground.

2.2 PRELIMINARY PROCEDURES
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
• Always wear suitable work attire, hard-wearing safety
footwear with non-slip soles and long trousers. Do
not operate the machine when barefoot or wearing
open sandals. Wear hearing protection devices.
• Use of hearing protections can reduce the ability to
hear any warnings (shouting or alarms). Be careful
of what occurs around you in the work area.
• Wear protective gloves whenever your hands are at risk.
• Never wear scarves, shirts, necklaces, bracelets,
loose flowing clothing, laces or ties or any hanging or
flapping accessory that could catch in the machine
or in any objects or materials in the work area.
• Tie your hair back if it is long.
Work area/Machine
• Thoroughly inspect the entire work area and
remove anything that could be thrown by the
machine or damage the cutting means/rotating
units (stones, branches, iron wire, bones, etc.).
2.3 DURING OPERATION
Work Area
• Do not use the machine in environments at risk
of explosion, in the presence of flammable
liquids, gas or powder. Power tools create
sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Work only in daylight or with good artificial
light in good visibility conditions.
• Keep persons, children and animals away
from the working area. Get another adult to
keep the children under supervision.
• Avoid working with wet grass, in the rain and when
there is a risk of a thunderstorm, especially lightening.
• Do not expose the machine to rain or wet
environments. Water entering a power tool
will increase the risk of electric shock.
• Pay careful attention to uneven ground
(hills, dips), slopes, hidden hazards and
obstacles that could limit visibility.
• Be very careful near ravines, ditches or embankments.
The machine could overturn if a wheel slides
over the edge or if the earth gives way.
• Always mow across a slope and never up and down
it, being very careful when changing direction,
making sure you have firm footage and that the
wheels do not hit any obstacles (such as stones,
branches, roots, etc.) that may cause the machine
to slide sideways or make you lose control of it.
• Look out for traffic when using the
machine near the road.
Behaviour
• Exercise caution when reversing or moving backwards.
Look behind you to make sure there are no obstacles
before and during operations in reverse gear.
• Never run, always walk.
• Do not allow the lawnmower to pull you along.
• Always keep hands and feet away from the cutting
means, when starting and when using the machine.
• Attention: the cutting means will continue to
rotate for a few seconds after disengagement
or after you have switched off the motor.
• Keep away from the discharge opening.
If something breaks or an accident occurs during
mowing, turn off the motor 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 situa -
tion immediately and contact the medical authorities
for any necessary health care. Carefully remove any
debris which could cause damage or injury to persons
or animals if ignored.
Use limitations
• Never operate the machine with damaged, missing
or incorrectly assembled guards (grass catcher,
side discharge guards rear discharge guards).
• Don’t use the machine if the attachments/
tools are not installed in their seats.
• Never disengage, deactivate, remove or tamper
with the safety systems/micro switches installed.
• Do not strain the machine too much and do not
use a small machine for heavy-duty work. If you
use the right machine, you will reduce the risk of
hazards and improve the quality of your work.
2.4 MAINTENANCE, STORAGE
Ensure regular maintenance and correct storage to
maintain machine safety and high performance levels.
Maintenance
• Never use the machine with worn or damaged
parts. Faulty or worn-out parts must always
be replaced and never repaired.
• Be careful during adjustment of the machine to prevent
entrapment of the fingers between moving parts of
the cutting means and fixed parts of the machine.
