SAFETY RULES
IMPORTANT: This cutting machine is capable of amputating hands and feet
and throwing objects. Failure to observe the following safety instructions could
result in serious injury or death.
I. Training
• Read the instructions carefully. Be
familiar with the controls and the proper
use of the equipment.
• Never allow children or people unfamiliar
with the instructions to use the lawnmower.
Local regulations may restrict the age of
the operator.
• Never mow while people, especially
children, or pets are nearby.
• Keep in mind that the operator or user is
responsible for accidents or hazards
occurring to other people or their property.
II. Preparation
• While mowing, always wear substantial
footwear and long trousers. Do not operate
the equipment when barefoot or wearing
open sandals.
• Thoroughly inspect the area where the
equipment is to be used and remove all
objects which may be thrown by the
machine.
•WARNING - Petrol is highly flammable.
- Store fuel in containers specifically
designed for this purpose.
- Refuel outdoors only and do not smoke
while refueling.

- If petrol is spilled, do not attempt to start
the engine but move the machine away
from the area of spillage and avoid creating
any source of ignition until petrol vapors
have dissipated.
- Replace all fuel tanks and container caps
securely.
• Replace faulty silencers.
• Before using, always visually inspect to
see that the blades, blade bolts and cutter
assembly are not worn or damaged.
Replace worn or damaged blades and
bolts in sets to preserve balance.
III. Operation
• Do not operate the engine in a confined
space where dangerous carbon monoxide
fumes can collect.
• Mow only in daylight or in good artificial
light.
• Avoid operating the equipment in wet
grass, where feasible.
• Always be sure of your footing on slopes.

defective guards, or without safety devices,
for example deflectors and/or grass
catchers, in place.

settings or overspeed the engine.
Operating the engine at excessive speed
may increase the hazard of personal injury.

before starting the engine.
• Start the engine carefully according to
instructions and with feet well away from
the blade.
• Do not tilt the lawnmower when starting
the engine, except if the lawnmower has to
be tilted for starting. In this case, do not tilt
more than absolutely necessary and lift
only the part which is away from the
operator.
• Do not start the engine when standing in
front of the discharge chute.
• Do not put hands or feet near or under
rotating parts.

plug wire:
- before cleaning blockages or un clogging
chute;
- before checking, cleaning or working on
the lawnmower;
- after striking a foreign object. Inspect the
lawnmower for damage and make repairs
before restarting and operating the
lawnmower;
- if the lawnmower starts to vibrate
abnormally (check immediately).
• Stop the engine:
- whenever you leave the lawnmower;
- before refueling.
• Reduce the throttle setting during engine
shut down and, if the engine is provided
with a shut-off valve, turn the fuel off at the
conclusion of mowing.

sure the equipment is in safe working
condition.

the tank inside a building where fumes may
reach an open flame or spark.
• Allow the engine to cool before storing in
any enclosure.
• To reduce the fire hazard, keep the
engine, silencer, battery compartment and
