7. MACHINE USAGE

Use this machine only for jobs for which it has been
designed. The use of this machine for any other jobs
is dangerous and can cause dangers to the users and/
or to the machine.
Cut only with good light. Do not use this machine at
night, with fog or with reduced visibility that will not
allow you to control the working area correctly.
Avoid using the machine when the ground is wet or
humid. Be specially careful when using the machine
after it has rained as the ground will be slippery and
you could fall.
Do not use this machine in slopes of more than 30 %.
Cutting in areas with hillocks can also be dangerous.
Be alert when working on steep ground, wet or humid
ground. Be specially careful when changing direction
on a slope.
Do not cut the grass backwards or pulling the
machine.
Do not tilt the machine when starting the engine
unless it is necessary. In this case, do not tilt the
machine more than it is absolutely necessary and only
tilt the part furthest away from the end user. Only do
this when starting to cut high grass and only to allow
the entry of the lawnmower into the high grass. Stop
the engine when transporting the lawnmower from
one work area to the next.
Do not get near the cutting elements of the machine
when the machine is functioning.
Do not rely solely on the safety features of the
machine. Always be alert and use your common
sense.
It is important to check that all parts are well
tightened. If you detect any anomaly, stop the machine
straight away and check the machine carefully. In
case of any damage, take the machine to your nearest
service agent. Never carrying on working if the
machine is not working correctly.
Clean the work area and eliminate any obstacles
that could cause accidents. Check the work area and
remove any objects that could get entangled to the
cutting elements. Also remove any objects that could
be expelled by the machine or its parts when getting
in contact with these.
Do not allow anybody to enter the workng area.
Ths working perimeter is 15 metres and this is a
dangerous zone.
When moving from one working area to the next, turn
off the engine.
Never let the machine unattended.
Do not use any accessories that are not originals
and that have not been recommended by the
manufacturer. Use of other accessories can cause
accidents and can be dangerous for the end user
and those nearby as well as causing damages to the
machine.
Always follow the security rules that we indicate in the
manual.
