POSITIONING
OF SAFETY LABELS
Your lawnmower should be used
with due care and attention.
Therefore, figured labels have
been placed on various parts of
the machine to remind you of the
main precautions to be taken. Their
full meaning is explained later on.
These labels are an integral part
of the lawnmower and so, if any
of them should become detached
or illegible, contact your Supplier
for their replacement. You are also
asked to carefully read the safety
regulations in the applicable chapter
of this handbook.
IMPORTANT: Before connecting
the lawnmower to the power
supply, ensure that the socket
has a differential switch (circuit
breaker) and that the supply voltage
is the same as that shown on the
machine's identification label.

3. Never allow children or people
unfamiliar with these instructions
to use the lawn mower. Local
regulations may restrict the age of
the operator.

- When people, especially children,
or pets are nearby;
- If the operator has taken medicine
or substances that can affect his
ability to react and concentrate.
5. Keep in mind that the operator or
user is responsible for accidents or
hazards occuring to other people or
their property.
B) PREPARATION
1. While mowing, always wear
substantial footwear and long trousers.
Do not operate the equipment, when
barefoot or wearing open sandals.
2. Thoroughly inspect the area
where the equipment is to be used
and remove all objects which may
be thrown by the machine (stones,
sticks, metal wire, Bones, etc.).
3. Before using, and with the
machine unplugged, make a visual
inspection, particularly of the blade,
checking that the screw and cutting
system are not work or damaged.
Replace blade or screw worned
damaged.
4. Before mowing, attach the
discharge opening guards (grass
catcher or deflector).
- The handling and connection of
cable must be done in the dry;
- Use a 30 mA residual current
device (RCD);
- Never allow contact between an
electric socket or cable with a wet
area (puddles or damp grass);
- Connections between cables and
sockets must be of the waterproof
type. Only use extension cables with
molded-on waterproof or approved
sockets available commercially.
5. The power supply cables must
not be of lower quality than the
H05RN-F, H05RR-F, H05WF,
H05VVH2-F type for outdoor use

6. Clamp the cable onto the cable-
hook before starting the equipment.
7. The permanent connection of
any electrical device to a building
is circuit must be performed by a
qualified electrician, in accordance
with electrical regulations in force.
An incorrect connection may cause
severe injury or death.
C) OPERATION
1. Mow only in daylight or good
artificial light.
2. Avoid operating the equipment in
wet grass or when raining.
3. Never go over the electric cable
with the lawnmower. While cutting,
the cable should always be pulled
behind the lawnmower and always
from the area of grass already cut.
Use the cable hook in the way already
described in this manual to avoid the
cable's unexpected disconnection.
Ensure that it is properly inserted and
avoid forcing into the power socket.
4. Never pull the lawnmower by its
power cable or pull the cable to remove
the plug. Do not expose the cable to
sources of heat or let it come in contact
with oil, solvents or sharp objects.
5. Always be sure of your footing
on slopes.
6. Walk, never run and do not allow
yourself to be pulled along by the
lawnmower.
7. Cut along the slopes, never up
and down.
8. Exercise extreme caution when
changing direction on slopes.
