SAFETY WAR NINGS
with flowing parts, laces or ties
or any hanging or flapping ac-
cessory that could catch in the
machine or in any objects or
materials in the work area.
– Tie your hair back if it is long.
2) Before using the machine,
carry out an ac cu rate inspection
of the machines efficiency and in
particular:
– the motor stop switch must
easily move from one position
to the other;
– the machine handgrips and
protection devices must be
clean and dry and well fas-
tened to the machine;
– the guards must never be dam-
aged;
– the rotor must never be dam-
aged;
– the bag must never be dama-
ged.
3) Thoroughly inspect the whole
work area and remove anything
that could be projected by the ma-
chine (when used as a blower) or
block the vacuum tube (when
used as vacuum collector) or
be a hazardous source (stones,
branches, iron wire, bones etc.).
C) OPERATION
1) Do not mount equipment or
accessories on the machine not
foreseen or approved by the ma-
nufacturer.
2) Mow only in daylight or good
artificial light.
3) NEVER use the machine in bad
weather conditions, especially in
case of lightning danger.
4) Never use the machine:
– without mounting all the ac-
cessories foreseen for each
use (as blower or vacuum col-
lector);
– when people, especially chil-
dren or pets are nearby;
– in confined spaces, in the pres-
ence of fumes, in an explosive
environment or close to inflam-
mable materials or electrical
equipment.
5) Take on a firm and well-bal-
anced position:
– where possible, avoid working
on wet, slippe ry ground or in
any case on uneven or steep
ground that does not guarantee
stability for the operator;
– never run, but walk carefully
paying attention to the lay of
the ground and any eventual
ob sta cles;
– assess the potential risks of the
ground to be mo wn and take
all necessary precautions to
en sure your own safety, espe-
cially on slopes or on bumpy,
slippery or unstable ground.
6) Make sure the machine is
securely locked when you start
the motor:
– check that there is nobody
within at least 15 me tres of the
machine's range of action;
7) Do not strain the machine
too much and do not use a small
machine for heavy-duty works. If
you use the right machine, you
will reduce the risk of hazards and
improve the quality of your work.
8) Ensure the machine does not
come into contact with foreign
bodies and possible flying debris
and dust being thrown up by the
air; do not direct the air jet in the
direction of people or a nimals.
9) Never insert objects into the
vaccum inlet (when being used
as vacuum collector) and avoid
the intake of large objects that
could damage the ro tor.
10) During use keep your hands
well away from the intake grille
