Check that all the safety devices are installed and in
good condition.
Remember that the machine operator is responsible
for the dangers and accidents caused to other people
or things. The manufacturer will not be in any way
liable for damages caused by improper or incorrect
use of this machine.
The cutting tool is very sharp. Not following the
instructions may cause severe damage.
Keep your body away from the cutting tool while using
the machine.
Do not force this machine. Use this machine to the
correct application. Using the machine for the type of
work meant to be done will allow you to work better
and more safely.
Do not use this machine if the switch does not change
between "open" and "closed". Any machine that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
Before starting work with the machine, check that the
milling cutters are not in contact with any object and
that they can move freely.
Do not use the machine on steep slopes where your
safety cannot be guaranteed. If you are working on
slopes slow down your work pace and ensure you
have a good stability.

Check that the moving parts are not misaligned
or locked, that there are no broken parts or other
conditions that may affect the operation of this

it before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained machines.
Keep the machine handles dry and clean. Greasy or
oily handles are slippery and cause loss of control
over the machine.
Turn off the machine, disconnect the spark plug
and make sure that the cutting tool has stopped
before making any adjustments, filling with
fuel, changing accessories, cleaning, transportation
and storage of this machine. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of accidental starting of this

If the machine starts to vibrate in a strange way, turn
it off and examine it to find the cause. If you cannot
discover the reason take the machine to the service
technician. The vibrations are always an indication of a
problem in the machine.
Stop the engine whenever you leave the machine
alone.
Reduce the rotation system of the motor when you
turn off the engine. If the engine is equipped with a
fuel valve, cut the fuel when the engine has stopped.
