• Prolonged use of hand held (operated) machines will cause the user to feel the effects of/from
vibrations. These vibrations can lead to white finger (Raynaud’s phenomenon) or carpal tunnel
syndrome. This condition reduces the ability of the hand to feel and regulate temperature,
causing numbness and heat sensations and may cause nerve damage and circulatory tissue
death.
• Not all factors that lead to white finger disease are known, but cold weather, smoking and other
diseases that affect blood vessels and blood circulation as well as large and long-lasting impact
of shocks are considered factors in the formation of white finger. Note the following to reduce the
risk of white finger and carpal tunnel syndrome;
• Wear gloves and keep your hands warm.
• Take regular breaks.
• All of the above precautions may help reduce the risk of white finger disease but not rule out
the carpal tunnel syndrome. Long-term and regular users are therefore recommended to observe

is essentially composed of an engine which drives a blade enclosed in a casing, equipped with
wheels and a handle. The operator is able to operate the machine and use the main controls,
always staying behind the handle at a safe distance from the rotating blade. If the operator leaves
the machine, the engine and cutting means will stop within a few seconds.
The lawnmower is manufactured according to the latest safety requirements. These include a
blade brake that stops the engine and blade when you let go of the OPC lever. Every precaution
is only effective when it is followed exactly.
Intended Use
This machine was designed and manufactured for cutting and collecting grass in gardens and
grassy areas, in areas in proportion to its cutting capacity, controlled by a pedestrian operator.
The presence of attachments or specific devices can prevent cut grass from being collected or
produce a mulching effect, depositing cut grass on the ground.
User Types
This machine is intended for use by consumers, i.e. non professional operators. The machine is
intended for “DIY” and domestic use only.
Improper Use
Any other usage not in keeping with the above mentioned ones may be hazardous and harm
persons and/or damage things. Examples of improper use may include, but are not limited to:
