2. SAFETY REGULATIONS

2.1 TRAINING
Become familiar with the
controls and the proper use
of the machine. Learn how
to stop the machine quickly.
Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions may result
in fire and/or serious injury.
• Never allow the machine
to be used by children or
individuals with reduced
physical, sensory or metal
abilities, or without experience
and know-how, or individuals
who do not have the necessary
familiarity with the instructions.
Local regulations may restrict
the age of the operator.
• Never use the machine if the
user is tired or unwell, or has
taken medicine, drugs, alcohol
or any substances which
may slow his reflexes and
compromise his judgement.
• Bear in mind that the operator
or user is responsible for
accidents or unexpected
events occurring to other
people or their property. It is the
user's responsibility to assess
the potential risk of the area
where work is to be carried out
and to take all the necessary
precautions to ensure his
own safety and that of others,
particularly on slopes or rough,
slippery and unstable ground.
• If the machine is sold or
lent to others, make sure
that the operator looks
over the user instructions
contained in this manual.
2.2 PREPARATION
Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE)
• Wear suitable clothing,
strong work shoes with anti-
slip soles, and long pants.
Do not operate the machine
barefoot or wearing open
sandals. Wear ear-protection
devices, anti-vibration
gloves, protective goggles,
and a half mask respirator.
• Use of hearing protections can
reduce the ability to hear any
warnings (shouting or alarms).
Be careful of what occurs
around you in the work area.
• Never wear scarves, shirts,
necklaces, bracelets, loose
flowing clothing, laces or ties
or any hanging or flapping
accessory that could catch in
the machine or in any objects
or materials in the work area.
• Tie your hair back if it is long.
Work area / Machine
• Thoroughly inspect the
whole work area and use
a rake or yard brush to
manually untangle debris,
remove anything that could
be projected by the machine
(when used as a blower),
block the vacuum tube
(when the machine is used
as vacuum collector - if
provided ), or be a source of
hazard (stones, branches,
steel wire, bones etc.)
• When operating in dry
dusty soil conditions, it is
recommended to moisten
the surface slightly.
• To avoid the risk of fire,
do not leave the machine
with the motor hot on
leaves or dry grass.
