can be dangerous. Be vigilant when walking on steep
inclines and with wet grass. Be particularly careful
when changing working direction on an incline.
Be careful when walking on slopes or wet grass. Take
special caution when changing direction on slopes.
Do not scarify backwards or pulling the machine. Be
alert when pulling the machine backwards.
Dress adequately. Do not use the machine barefoot
or wearing sandals. Always use resistant shoes and
long trousers.
Do not place your hands or feet under the
lawnmower. Maintain all parts of the body well
away from the blade when the machine is running.
Before starting the lawnmower, ensure that the blade
has not come into contact with any object.
Hold the scarifier with both hands from the handle and
place your body behind the scarifier.
Maintain all body parts well clear of any moving
parts when the machine is in use. Before starting
the machine, check that the cutting element is not in
contact with any object. One moment of carelessness
and your clothing or any body part could get caught

the machine to your nearest after sales dealer.
Make sure the machine has stopped completely
before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning work
on the machine and the working area.

2.2.1. VIBRATIONS
The prolonged use of the machine, exposes the
client to vibrations that in extreme cases and through
many hours of use of the machine could cause the
¨white finger syndrome¨ also known as Raynaud
phenomenon. This causes a reduction in the tact of
the fingers and their capacity to regulate temperature
generating a lack of sensibility. This sickness could
in extreme cases cause problems with the nerve
endings.
The exposure to the vibrations is the cause of
the white finger syndrome. To minimise this
effect as much as possible, follow the following
recommendations:
• Always use gloves.
• Always have your hands warm.
• Take frequent breaks.
• Always hold the machine tightly by the handles.
If you detect any of the symptoms of the white finger
syndrome, consult immediately with your doctor.
2.3. WORKING AREA SECURITY
Maintain the workng area clean and work with good
light. Untidy working areas and dark conditions can
cause accidents.
Inspect the working area and remove all stones, wood,
cables and strange objects that could be touched and
propelled by the moving parts of the machine.
Do not use the machine in explosive atmospheres
or in the presence of inflammable liquids, gases
and powders. Electric machines can release sparks
that could ignite the inflammable liquids, gases and
powders.
