GETTING TO KNOW THE MACHINE
MACHINE DESCRIPTION AND SCOPE OF APPLICATION
This machine is a garden tool and precisely a pedestriancontrolled lawnmower.
The machine is essentially composed of an engine 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 ma-
chine, the engine and cutting means will stop within a few seconds.
Intended use

cut grass from being collected or produce a mulching effect, depositing cut grass
on the ground.
