SAFETY REGULATIONS  
8) The permanent wiring of any electrical device  
to the mains must be carried out by a qualified  
electrician, in accordance with electrical regu-  
lations in force. Incorrect wiring may cause  
severe injury or death.  
A) TRAINING  
1) Read the instructions carefully. Get familiar  
with the controls and the proper use of the  
equipment. Learn how to stop the engine quick-  
ly.  
2) Only use the lawnmower for the purpose for  
which it was designed, i.e. for cutting and col-  
lecting grass. Any other use can be hazardous,  
causing injury or damage to people and/or  
property.  
C) OPERATION  
1) Mow only in daylight or good artificial light.  
2) Avoid operating the equipment on wet grass  
or in the rain.  
3) Never allow children or people unfamiliar with  
these instructions to use the lawnmower. Local  
regulations may restrict the age of the operator.  
4) Never use the lawnmower:  
3) Never go over the electric cable with the  
lawnmower. While cutting, the cable should  
always be pulled behind the lawnmower and  
always from the area of grass already cut. Use  
the cable clamp as described in this manual to  
prevent the cable from disconnecting by acci-  
dent. Ensure that it is properly inserted without  
forcing into the power socket.  
– When people, especially children, or pets are  
nearby;  
– If the operator has taken medicine or sub-  
stances that can affect his ability to react and  
concentrate.  
4) Never pull the lawnmower by its power cable  
or pull the cable to remove the plug. Do not  
expose the cable to sources of heat or let it  
come in contact with oil, solvents or sharp  
objects.  
5) Remember that the operator or user is  
responsible for accidents or hazards occurring  
to other people or their property.  
5) Always be sure of your footing on slopes.  
6) Walk, never run and do not allow yourself to  
be pulled along by the lawnmower.  
B) PREPARATION  
7) Mow across the face of slopes, never up and  
down.  
1) While mowing, always wear sturdy footwear  
and long trousers. Do not operate the equip-  
ment when barefoot or wearing open sandals.  
2) Thoroughly inspect the area where the equip-  
ment is to be used and remove all objects which  
may be thrown by the machine (stones, sticks,  
metal wire, bones, etc.)  
3) Before use, always inspect the machine,  
especially the condition of the blades, and  
check that the screws and cutting assembly are  
not worn or damaged. Replace worn or dam-  
aged blades and screws in sets to preserve bal-  
ance.  
4) Before mowing, attach the discharge opening  
guards (grass-catcher or stone-guard).  
5) WARNING: DANGER! Damp and electricity do  
not go together:  
– cables must be handled and wired when dry  
– never allow contact between an electric  
socket or cable with a wet area (puddles or  
damp grass);  
8) Exercise extreme caution when changing  
direction on slopes.  
9) Do not mow on slopes that are too steep.  
10) Exercise extreme caution when pulling the  
lawnmower towards you.  
11) Stop the blade if the lawnmower has to be  
tilted for transportation when crossing surfaces  
other than grass, and when transporting the  
lawnmower to and from the area to be mowed.  
12) Never operate the lawnmower with defec-  
tive guards, or without safety devices, such as  
the stone-guard and/or grass-catchers, in  
place.  
13) On power-driven models, disengage the  
drive clutch before starting the engine.  
14) Start the engine carefully, following the  
instructions and keeping feet well away from  
the blade.  
15) Do not tilt the lawnmower when switching  
on the engine unless it is strictly necessary for  
start-up. In this case, do not tilt it more than is  
strictly necessary and only lift the part furthest  
away from the operator. Check that both hands  
are positioned correctly before lowering the  
lawnmower.  
– connections between cables and sockets  
must be of the waterproof type. Only use exten-  
sion cables with moulded-on waterproof or  
approved sockets available commercially.  
– power the machine using a residual current  
device (RCD Residual Current Device) with max.  
30 mA tripping current.  
16) Do not put hands or feet near or under rotat-  
ing parts. Keep clear of the discharge opening  
at all times.  
6) The power supply cables must not be of  
lower quality than the H05RN-F or H05VV-F type  
with minimum cross-section size of 1.5 mm2  
and max. 25 m long.  
17) Never pick up or carry a lawnmower while  
the engine is running.  
18) Stop the engine and disconnect the power  
supply cable:  
7) Attach the cable onto the cable clamp before

cutting deck or before unclogging the chute;  
– before checking, cleaning or working on  
lawnmower;  
SERVICE  
– 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 abnormal-  
ly, find and remove the cause of the vibration  
immediately;  
ACCESSORIES/SPARE PARTS  
Always use genuine spare parts and  
accessories. Non-genuine spare parts  
and accessories have not been  
checked and approved by the lawn-  
mower manufacturer. Use of non-gen-  
uine spare parts and accessories can  
lead to the risk of injury even if they fit  
the machine. The lawnmower manufac-  
turer does not accept any liability for  
injuries caused by the use of such parts  
or accessories.  
– whenever you leave the lawnmower unat-  
tended.  
– when transporting the equipment.  
19) Stop the engine:  
– every time you remove or replace the grass-  
catcher.  
– before adjusting the grass cutting height.  
20) When mowing, always keep to a safe dis-  
tance from the rotating blade. This distance is  
the length of the handle.  
Genuine spare parts are stocked by authorised  
service centres and by many dealers.  
We recommend that you take the machine to an  
authorised service centre for annual servicing,  
maintenance and inspection of safety equipment.  
D) MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE  
1) Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be  
sure the equipment is in safe working condition.  
Regular maintenance is essential for safety and  
performance.  
For servicing and spare parts contact your distrib-  
utor.  
2) To reduce the fire hazard, keep the lawnmow-  
er, especially the engine, free of grass, leaves,  
or excessive grease. Do not leave containers  
with grass cuttings in rooms.  
PRODUCT IDENTITY  
3) Check the stone-guard and grass-catcher  
frequently for wear and deterioration.  
The identity of the product is determined by the  
article and serial numbers of the machine.  
4) Periodically check the electric cables and  
replace them if they are damaged or if the insu-  
lation has been damaged. Never touch a badly  
insulated cable if it still connected to the power  
supply. Remove the cable from the socket  
before taking any action.  
5) Wear strong work gloves when removing and  
reassembling the blade.  
6) Check the blade’s balance after sharpening.  
These can be found on the label fixed to the chas-  
sis of the machine:  
ART. NR  
SERIE NR.  
Use this identification whenever you contact a  
service centre or buy replacement parts.  
THE ENVIRONMENT  
After buying the machine, write the above numbers  
on the back page of this booklet as soon as possi-  
ble.  
In order to protect the environment, we recom-  
mend that the following points should be given  
special consideration:  
The manufacturer reserves the right to make  
changes to the product without prior notice.  
Do not dispose of used lead-acid batteries in a  
garbage bin. Take them to a battery collection  
point for recycling (applies to battery-powered  
machines and machines with battery start).  
When, after many years of service, your  
machine needs to be replaced or is no longer  
required, we recommend that the machine is  
returned to your distributor for recycling.
