that does not guarantee stability for the operator;
- never run, but walk carefully paying attention to the
lay of the land and any eventual obstacles;
- assess the potential risks of the ground to be mown
and take all necessary precautions to ensure your
own safety, especially on slopes or on bumpy, slip-
pery or unstable ground;
- work along the contour on slopes, never when
walking up or down and always keep downhill of
the cutter.
4) Make sure the machine is securely locked when you
start the engine:
- start the motor in an area at least 3 metres from
where you refuelled;
- check that there is nobody within at least 15 metres
of themachine's range of action or at least 30 me-
tres for heavier mowing;
- do not direct the silencer and therefore the exhaust
fumes towards inflammable materials.
5) Do not change the engine governor settings or over-
speed the engine.
6) Do not strain the machine too much and do not use
a small machine for heavy-duty works. If you use the
right machine, you will reduce the risk of hazards and
improve the quality of your work.
7) Check that when the machine is running idle, there is
no movement of the cutting device and, after press-
ing the throttle trigger, the engine quickly returns to
minimum speed.
8) Ensure that the blade does not come into violent con-
tact with foreign bodies and beware of the possibility
of material being thrown up by the blades.
9) Always keep the machine connected to the webbing
when working.
10) Stop the engine:
- whenever you leave the machine unattended.
- before refuelling.
- during movements between work areas.
11) Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug
cable:
- before cleaning, checking or working on the ma-
chine;
- after striking a foreign object. Inspect themachine
for any damage and make repairs before restarting
it again;
- if the machine starts to vibrate abnormally: find
the cause of the vibration immediately and have it
inspected at a Specialised Centre.
- when the machine is not in use.
D) MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
1) Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the
equipment is in safe working condition. Routine main-
tenance is essential for safety and for maintaining a
high performance level.
2) Do not store the machine with fuel in the tank in an
area where the fuel vapours could reach an open
flame, a spark or a strong heat source.
3) Allow the engine to cool before storing in any en-
closure.
4) To reduce fire hazards, keep the engine, exhaust
silencer and fuel storage area free from sawdust,
