during assembly, installation, and operation,
maintenance, repairing or moving.
• Start the engine carefully according to
instructions and with feet away from the
moving parts.
• Do not place your hands or feet near or
under rotating parts. Keep away from any
discharge openings.
• Keep in mind that the operator or user is
responsible for accidents, hazards or
unexpected events involving the machine that
occur to other people or their property. It is
the responsibilty of the user to assess the
potential risk of the area where work is being
carried out. The operator or user must take
all necessary precautions to ensure their own
safety and that of others, especially on slopes
or rough, slippery and unstable ground.
• This machine is not intended for use
by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning
use of the machine by a person responsible
for their safety. Children should be supervised
to ensure that they do not play with the
machine.
Inspect Your Machine
• Check your machine before starting it. Keep
guards in place and in working order. Make
sure all nuts, bolts, etc., are securely
tightened.
• You must check the general condition of the
machine before use.
• Never operate the machine when it is in
need of repair or is in poor mechanical
condition. Replace damaged, missing, or
failed parts before using it. Check for fuel
leaks. Keep the machine in safe working
condition.
• Do not use the machine if the engine’s
switch does not turn off the engine when
running. Any petrol powered machine that
can’t be controlled with the engine switch is
dangerous and must be replaced.
• Regularly check to see that keys and
adjusting wrenches are removed from the
machine area before starting it. A wrench or
a key that is left attached to a rotating part of
the machine may result in personal injury.
• Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the
engine’s switch is off before transporting the

Engine Safety
Replace worn out or damaged elements and
bolts in set to preserve balance.
• Keep the machine in good operating
condition. Operating a machine in poor or
questionable condition could result in serious
injury.
• Be sure all safety devices are in working
order and warning labels are in place. These
items are installed for your safety.
• Be sure the safety covers are in place. If the
attachments/tools are not installed in their
seats, do not use the machine.
• The use of an unbalanced blade, the
excessive speed of movement, or the absence
of maintenance have a significant influence on
noise emissions and vibrations. It is necessary
to take preventive steps to eliminate possible
damage due to high levels of noise and stress
from vibration. You must maintain the machine
well, wear ear protection and take breaks from
working.
• Where applicable, check the battery status
regularly. If there is any damage to the casing,
cover or terminals, you must replace it.
• Make sure to replace faulty silencers.
• You must check the general condition of the
machine before using and in particular:
- Check that the blade is not worn or
damaged. Replace the entire blade and all
worn or damaged fittings to preserve balance.
Any repairs must be done at a specialised
centre.
- Do not force the OPC safety lever as it must
move freely; it should return automatically and
quickly back to the neutral position, resulting
in the stopping of the blade.
• Before mowing make sure that the blade
and blade fixing screw are securely fastened.
When blade requires sharpening this must be
done evenly on both sides of the blade to
prevent any imbalance. If the blade is
damaged it must be replaced.
• This machine is equipped with an internal
combustion engine. Do not use on, or near,
forest-covered or brush-covered land unless
the exhaust system is equipped with a spark
arrester meeting applicable local, state, or
federal laws.
• A spark arrester, if used, must be maintained
in effective working order by the operator.
• Never start or run the engine inside a closed
area. The exhaust fumes are dangerous,
containing carbon monoxide, an odourless
and deadly gas. Operate this unit only in a
well-ventilated outdoor area. (See carbon
monoxide safety).
• Do not tamper with the engine in an effort to
get it to run at higher speeds. The maximum
engine speed is preset by the manufacturer
and is within safety limits.
• Keep a fire extinguisher on hand when
operating this machine in dry areas as a
precautionary measure.
• Never leave the operating position when the
engine is running.
• The engine parts get very hot when
running, do not touch. Danger of burns.
• Follow the instructions to ignite the engine
carefully whilst keeping feet away from moving
parts.
• Never incline the machine during ignition.

•Make sure you thoroughly inspect the entire
work area and remove all objects and anything
that could be thrown by the machine or could
damage the engine or machine (branches,
stones, wire, toys, etc). Stay alert for any
foreign objects which may have been missed.
If a stone or any foreign object is
contacted by the blade, it can be thrown out
of the cutting area at very high speed,
causing injury or damage. Attempting to clear
the work area whilst using the machine will
reduce your concentration and creates a trip
hazard. Any liquid spilled on the floor may
result in you slipping.
•You must only work in daylight or with good
artificial light in good visibility conditions. Keep
people, children and animals away from the
working area.
• Operate on flat, level ground.

• If your machine is suitable to work on
slopes, you must work across the slope and
not up and down it. When changing direction,
you need to be careful that the wheels do not
hit any obstacles (such as roots, branches,
stones, etc) that can cause the machine to
slide sideways or make you lose control of it.
The lawnmower must never be used on slopes
of over 20°, regardless of the mowing
direction. Make sure on slopes you have a
steady foothold.
• Find and locate all fixed objects in the
ground, such as sprinkler systems, poles,
water valves, bases for washing lines etc
Make sure that you check for hidden
electrical cables or similar on the surface of
the lawn. ALWAYS run the machine around
these objects. NEVER intentionally run the
machine over foreign objects.
• You must be careful near ravines, ditches or
embankments.
• Exercise extreme caution when operating on
or crossing gravel drives, walks, or roads. Stay
alert for hidden hazards or traffic.
• Pay the utmost attention when working on
frozen ground as the machine may tend to
skid.
• Do not work in the rain and when there is a
thunderstorm or lightning risk. If there is bad
weather conditions, do not use the machine.
• You must pay special attention when
approaching obstacles that could compromise
visibility.
