– check that there is nobody within at least 15
metres of the machine’s range of action or at
least 30 metres for heavier mowing;
– do not direct the silencer and therefore the
exhaust fumes towards inflammable materials.
5)
Do not change the engine governor settingsor overspeed 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 pressing the throttle trigger, the engine
quickly returns to minimum speed.
8) Ensure that the blade does not come into vio-
lent contact 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
machine;
– after striking a foreign object. Inspect the
machine for any damage and make repairs
before restarting it again; 
– If the machine starts to vibrate abnormally: find
and remove the cause of the vibration immedi-
ately;
– 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 maintenance 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
enclosure. 4) To reduce fire hazards, keep the engine,
exhaust silencer and fuel storage area free from
sawdust, branches, leaves, or excessive grease;
never leave containers with the cut debris inside
the storage area.
5) If the fuel tank has to be emptied, this should
be done outdoors once the engine has cooled
down.
6) Always wear protective gloves when handling
the cutting device.
7)
For safety reasons, never use the machine
with worn or damaged parts. Damaged parts
are to be replaced and never repaired. Only
use original spare parts. 
Parts that are not of the
same quality can seriously damage the equipment
and compromise safety. The cutting tools must
always bear the manufacturer’s trademark as well
as a reference to the maximum working speed.
8) Before putting the machine away, check you
have removed wrenches or tools used for mainte-
nance. 
9) Store the machine out of the reach of children!
E) TRANSPORTATION AND HANDLING
1) Whenever the machine is to be handled or
transported you must:
– turn off the engine, wait for the cutting device to
stop and disconnect the spark plug cap;
– fit the cutting device guard;
– only hold the machine using the handgrips and
position the cutting device in the opposite
direction to that used during operation.
2) When using a vehicle to transport the machine,
position it so that it can cause no danger to per-
sons and fasten it firmly in place to avoid it from
tipping over, which may cause damage or fuel
spillage.
