and vibrations. Consequently, it is necessary to take
preventive steps to eliminate possible damage due to
high levels of noise and stress from vibration; Maintain
the machine well, wear ear protection devices, and take
breaks while working.
Storage
• To reduce fire risks, do not leave containers
with debris inside a room.
2.5 BATTERY / BATTERY CHARGER
IMPORTANT The following safety instructions
are in addition to the safety requirements
provided in the specific battery and battery
charger manual delivered with this machine.
• Only use battery chargers recommended by the
manufacturer to recharge batteries. An inadequate
battery charger may cause electric shock, overheating
or corrosive liquid to leak from the battery.
• Use only batteries specifically designed for
your power tool. The use of other batteries
may cause injuries and fire risks.
• Make sure that the machine is switched off before
inserting the battery. Inserting a battery in a
machine which is switched on can cause a fire.
• Keep all unused batteries at a distance from
paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other
small metal objects as contact with the same
can cause short circuits. Short circuits between
battery contacts can lead to explosion or fires.
• Do not use the battery charger in places where
there are inflammable vapours, substances
or on easily inflammable surfaces like paper,
fabric, etc. During recharge, the battery charger
becomes heated and may cause fire.
• When transporting accumulators, make sure the
contacts never come into contact with each other
and never use metal containers to transport them.
2.6 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Safeguarding the environment must be a relevant
and priority aspect of machine use, of benefit to
the community and the environment we live in.
• Avoid being a disturbance to the neighbourhood.
Use this machine at reasonable times of the
day only (not early morning or late evening
when the noise could cause disturbance).
• Comply with local regulations for the disposal of
packaging, deteriorated parts or any elements
with a strong environmental impact; this waste
must not be disposed of with regular waste,
but must be separated and taken to collection
centres, which will recycle the materials.
• Comply with local regulations for the
disposal of waste materials.
• When the machine is decommissioned, do not dispose
of it in the environment, but take it to a waste disposal
facility in accordance with the local regulations in force.
Do not throw electrical equipment away with
domestic waste. According to the European
Directive 2012/19/EU on waste electrical and
electronic equipment and its implementation
in compliance with national standards, old
electrical equipment must be collected separately, for
eco-compatible recycling. If electrical equipment is
disposed of in dumps or in landfills, hazardous substances
can leak into the groundwater and contaminate the food
chain, damaging your health and well-being. For further
information on the disposal of this product, contact
your dealer or a domestic waste collection service.
At the end of their working life, dispose
of batteries paying due attention to
the environment. Batteries contain
material classified as hazardous for
you and the environment. They must be
removed and disposed of separately at
a facility that accepts lithium-ion batteries.
Separate waste collection of the products
and packaging used allows the materials to
be recycled and reused. Reuse of recycled
materials help to prevent environmental pollution
and reduces the demand for raw materials.
3. GETTING TO KNOW THE MACHINE
3.1 DESCRIPTION OF THE MACHINE
AND PLANNED USE
This machine is pedestrian-controlled lawnmower.
The machine is essentially composed of a motor
which drives a cutting means 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 cutting means.
If the operator leaves the machine, the motor and
cutting means will stop within a few seconds.
3.1.1 Intended use
This machine is designed and built to cut (and
collect) grass in gardens and grassy areas,
with a height according to its cutting capacity,
driven by an operator walking behind it.
Generally speaking this machine can:
1. Mow the grass and collect it in the grass catcher bag.
2. Mow the grass and discharge it on the
ground through the rear part.
3. Mow the grass and discharge it on the
ground laterally (if available).
4. Mow the grass, chop it and discharge it on
the ground (mulching effect - if available).
The use of special attachments provided for by the
Manufacturer as original equipment or which may be
purchased separately, allows this work to be done in
various operating modes, illustrated in this manual or the
instructions that accompany the single attachments.
3.1.2 Improper use
Any other usage not in keeping with the afore-
mentioned ones may be hazardous and
harm persons and/or damage things.
Examples of improper use may
include, but are not limited to:
– Allowing children, animals or other
passengers to ride on the machine as
