SAFETY REGULATIONS

please follow meticulously
A) TRAINING
1)  WARNING! Read these instructions carefully before op-
erating the machine. Become acquainted with the controls 
and the proper use of the machine. Learn how to stop the 
engine quickly. Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions may result in fire and/or serious injury.  Save all warn-
ings and instructions for future reference.
2) Never allow children or persons unfamiliar with these in-
structions  to  use  the  machine.  Local  laws  can  restrict  the 
minimum age of the operator.
3) Never use the lawnmower while people, especially chil-
dren, or pets are nearby. 
4)  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  judge-
ment.
5) 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.
6)  If  the  machine  is  sold  or  lent  to  others,  make  sure  that 
the  operator  looks  over  the  user  instructions  contained  in 
this manual. 
B) PRELIMINARY OPERATIONS
1)  While  using  the  machine,  always  wear  anti-slip  and  re-
sistant  work  footwear  and  long  pants.  Do  not  operate  the 
machine  when  barefoot  or  wearing  open  sandals.  Avoid 
wearing  chains,  bracelets,  clothing  that  is  loose  fitting  or 
has hanging cords or ties. Tie hair back if it is long. Always 
wear protective earplugs.
2)  Thoroughly  inspect  the  entire  work  area  and  remove 
anything  that  could  be  thrown  by  the  machine  or  damage 
the  cutting  unit  or  engine  (stones,  branches,  iron  wire, 
bones, etc.).
3) WARNING: DANGER! Petrol is highly flammable.
– Store the fuel in special containers;
–    A dd  fuel,  using  a  funnel,  only  outdoors;  do  not  smoke 
during this operation and each time fuel is handled;
–    T op-up with fuel before igniting the engine; never remove 
the  tank  cap  or  add  fuel  while  the  engine  is  running  or 
when it is hot;
–    I f you have spilled some fuel, do not attempt to ignite the 
engine but move the machine away from the area of spill-
age and avoid creating any source of ignition until the fuel 
has evaporated and fuel vapours have dissipated:
–    A lways put the tank and fuel container caps back on and 
tighten well;
4) Replace faulty silencers.
5)  Before  using  the  machine,  check  its  general  condition 
and in particular:
–    t he  appearance  of  the  cutting  means,  and  check  that 
the  screws  and  cutting  unit  are  not  worn  or  damaged. 
Replace  the  entire  cutting  means  and  all  damaged  or 
All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com
–    d on't  force  the  safety  lever  as  it  must  move  freely;  it 
6)  Check  the  battery  status  regularly  (where  applicable). 
Replace  it  if  there  is  any  damage  to  the  casing,  cover  or 
terminals.
7)  Before  starting  work,  always  fit  the  exit  guards  (grass 
catcher, side discharge guard or rear discharge guard).
1)  Do  not  operate  the  engine  in  a  confined  space  where 
dangerous  carbon  monoxide  fumes  can  develop.  All  igni-
tion operations have to be effected in an open or well-venti-
lated area. Always remember that exhaust fumes are toxic. 
2) Work only in daylight or with good artificial light in good 
visibility  conditions.  Keep  persons,  children  and  animals 
away from the working area.
3) If possible, avoid mowing wet grass. Avoid working in the 
rain and when there is a thunderstorm risk. Do not use the 
machine in bad weather conditions, especially when there 
is risk of lightening.
4) Make sure you have a steady foothold on slopes.
5) Never run, always walk. Do not allow the lawnmower to 
pull you along.
6)  Pay  special  attention  when  approaching  obstacles  that 
could compromise visibility. 
7)  Always  mow  across  a  slope  and  never  up  and  down  it, 
being very careful when changing direction that the wheels 
do not hit any obstacles (such as stones, branches, roots, 
etc.) that may cause the machine to slide sideways or make 
you lose control of it.
8) The machine must not be used on slopes of over 20°, re-
gardless of the mowing direction.  
9) Be extremely careful when pulling the lawnmower toward 
you. Look behind you to make sure there are no obstacles 
before and during operations in reverse gear.
10)  Immobilise  the  cutting  means  if  the  lawnmower  must 
be inclined for transport, when moving over surfaces other 
than grass and when the lawnmower is transported from or 
to an area that must be cut.
11)  Pay  attention  to  traffic  when  using  the  machine  near 
roads.
12)  Never  operate  the  machine  with  damaged  guards  or 
without  the  grass  catcher,  side  discharge  guards  or  rear 
discharge guards.
13) Be very careful near ravines, ditches or embankments. 
14)  Ignite  the  engine  carefully  following  the  instructions, 
keeping feet away from the cutting means.
15) Do not incline the lawnmower during ignition. Ignite the 
machine on a flat surface without obstacles or high grass. 
16) Never place your hands and feet near or under rotating 
parts. Keep away from the discharge opening.
17) Do not lift or transport the lawnmower when the engine 
is running.
18) Do not tamper with or disable safety systems.
19) Do not change the engine settings or over-rev the en-
gine.
20) Do not touch the engine parts as they get very hot when 
running. Danger of burns.

worn  screws  to  preserve  balance.  Any  repairs  must  be 
done at a specialised centre
should  return  automatically  and  rapidly  back  to  the 
neutral  position,  resulting  in  the  stopping  of  the  cutting 
means
