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.
1. Never allow children,
persons with reduced
physical, sensory or mental
capabilities or lack of
experience and knowledge or
persons unfamiliar with these
instructions to use the machine.
Local laws may establish a
minimum age for users.
2. Never use the
machine if the user is tired
or unwell, or has taken
medication, drugs, alcohol
or substances that impair
reflexes and concentration.
3. Remember that the
operator or user is responsible
for accidents and unexpected
events that can occur to other
people or 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.
4. 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 PRELIMINARY
OPERATIONS
Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE)
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Keep hair away from
the air intake grille, as it could
get tangled in the rotor and
cause serious injuries. Tie
your hair back if it is long.
Work / Machine Area
1. 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.
2. When operating in dry
dusty soil conditions, it is
recommended to moisten
the surface slightly.
3. To avoid the risk
of fire, do not leave the
machine with the motor hot
on leaves or dry grass.
