• Pay attention when using attachments
that can alter the stability of the
machine, especially on slopes.
• Always keep hands and feet away
from the cutting means, when starting
and when using the machine.
• Keep hands and feet away from the seat
support. There is a risk of crushing injuries.
CAUTION
The cutting means will continue to rotate
for a few seconds after disengagement or
after you have switched off the motor.
CAUTION
Pay attention to cutting-means
assemblies with more than one cutting
means, as a rotating cutting means can
trigger the rotation of the others.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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 situation
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 guards
damaged, missing or incorrectly
assembled (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 machine unsuitable for heavy
work; the use of a suitable machine reduces
risks and improves the quality of work.
• The machine has not been approved
for use on public roads. It must be used
(as indicated by the highway code)
in private areas closed to traffic.
3.4 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.
• Have your machine serviced by an
Authorised Dealer person using only original
replacement parts. This will ensure that
the safety of the machine is maintained.
• Do not repair the battery. Repair work
must be done by the manufacturer
or a specialised service centre.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The noise and vibration levels shown in these
instructions are the maximum levels for use of
the machine. The use of an unbalanced cutting
element, the excessive speed of movement, or
the absence of maintenance have a significant
influence on noise emissions 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.
3.5 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.
• 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
as normal waste, it must be separated and
taken to specified waste disposal centres
where the material will be recycled.
• Scrupulously comply with local regulations
for the disposal of waste materials.
• When the machine is withdrawn from service,
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
electrical and electronic equipment waste
and its implementation in compliance with
national standards, old electrical equipment must
