SAFETY RULES
Training
a)Persons under 16 years of age and persons who are
not acquainted with the user instructions must not use
the bar mower.
b)The operator is responsible for the safety of other people
in the working area. Keep children and domestic animals
at a safe distance when the mower is in use.
c)The risk of injury to hands and/or feet due to the mowing
unit is very high.
d)This machine may be used exclusively for cutting natural
grass. Its use is not allowed for other purposes (e.g., for
flattening out bumps in the ground, such as mole-hills
or ant- hills).
e)Work only when there is sufficient light.
f)Before you start cutting the lawn, make sure to remove
any objects or obstacles that might be present. While
you are using the mower, keep your eyes open for the
possible presence of such objects that may have been
left on the lawn.
Setting up and operating the aspirator
a)When using the bar mower machine, wear strong
footwear (boots or heavy shoes) and long trousers.
b)Before starting mowing, make sure that the mowing
bar is properly fastened and the protective sheath has
been removed.
c)During engine startup, under no circumstances lift up
the machine.
d)Turn off the engine and disconnect the cap of the spark
plug whenever:
removing the protection devices
transporting, lifting or displacing the machine from the
working area
carrying out maintenance or cleaning
carrying out any operation on the cutting tools
leaving the bar mower machine unattended.
CAUTION! The tools keep turning for a few seconds even
after the engine has been turned off.
e)CAUTION! The fuel is highly inflammable:
keep the fuel only in the fuel cans provided for that
purpose

sure not to smoke
fill up the fuel tank before starting the engine. Under no
circumstances open the fuel tank cap or add petrol when
the engine is running or when it is still hot
if the petrol has overflowed, do not under any circum-
stances start up the engine. Take the machine out of
the area where the fuel has been spilt and avoid any
source of possible ignition until the petrol fumes have
dissipated
replace the fuel tank cap and tighten it down firmly.
f)The machines with internal combustion engines must
never be operated in closed environments on account
of the danger of carbon monoxide poisoning.
g)The safety distance, which is set by the length of the
handle, must always be kept. Furthermore, when the
aspirator is working, never run; you must always walk.
