from the machine.
- Unplug the spark plug from the spark plug to prevent acciden-
tal starting. Wear heavy protective gloves to protect hands from
sharpening elements during cleaning, inspection or replacement
operations.

the operator, it is mandatory to protect with adequate individual
protection devices for both risks and to program suitable breaks
between the work phases.

training can cause serious personal injury.
- Wear strong, closed protective shoes, avoiding to operate the ma-
chine with bare feet or with open shoes or sandals

nearby electrical equipment is used.
- Pay close attention and turn off the motorcycle if children are
approaching the work area.
- Children are not allowed to use the machine, also under the su-
pervision of an adult.
Danger of accidental firing of objects
- Objects struck by rotating blades can be fired with great force,
causing personal injury.

Danger of fire or burns
Gasoline is highly flammable and vapors are potentially explosive.
Pay the utmost attention during handling.
Keep the gasoline out of the reach of children and kept in suitable
containers.
- The fuel supply must be carried out in well-ventilated areas and
with the engine switched off.
- Wait for the engine to cool down. Vapors or fuel leaks are poten-
tially explosive.
- The engine and exhaust system are heated during operation and
their temperature remains high for a certain period after the machi-
ne is turned off. Contact with hot engine components can cause
burns and danger of explosion.
- Do not touch the hot engine or the exhaust system.
- Allow the engine to cool down before carrying out any mainte-
nance work on the machine or before storing it in a closed place.
Danger of carbon monoxide poisoning
Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas.
Inhalation may cause fainting with fatal consequences. In the case
of operation in a fenced or partially enclosed area, the air being
breathed may have high concentrations of harmful exhaust gases.
Provide adequate ventilation.
