C) OPERATION
1) Work
only
in
daylight
or
good artificial light.
2) Take on a firm and well-balanced position:
- where
possible
avoid working
on
wet
slippy
ground
or
in any case on uneven
or
ripid ground
which does not guarantee
stability
for
the oper-
ator;
- avoid using unstable ladders
or
platforms;
- never run, but
walk
carefully paying attention
to
the lay
of
the land and any eventual obstacles.
3) Check that when the machine
is
running
at
min-
imum
speed and ticking over, there
is
no move-
ment
of
the blades and, after accelerating, the en-
gine
quickly returns
to
minimum speed.
4) Make sure the
blades
do
not come into violent
contact with foreign bodies and
try
to prevent
any
material from being hurled after trimming.
5) Stop the engine:
- whenever you
leave the machine unattended.
- before
refuelling.
D) MAINTENANCE
AND
STORAGE
1) Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tightly fastened
to be sure the equipment is
in
safe working condi-
tion. Routine maintenance is
essential for safety
and for maintaining a high performance level.
2) Always
wear
protective gloves when handling
the cutting device.
3) Make sure the
blades are well sharpened. All
operations on the blades require a certain level of
experience and specialised tools. For safety rea-
sons, take
them to a specialised centre to be sharp-
ened.
4)
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
com-
promise safety.

out
of the reach of children!
E) TRANSPORTATION AND HANDLING
1)
Whenever
the machine
is
to
be
handled
or
transported you must:
-
tum
off the engine, wail
for
the blades
to
stop and
diconnect
the spark plug cap;
-
apply the protection devices
to
the blades;
- only hold the machine using the handgrips and
position the
blades
in
the opposite direction
to
that
used during operations.
2)
When using a vehicle
to
transport the machine,
position it
so
that it can cause no danger
to
persons
and fasten it
firmly in place
to
avoid
it
from tipping
over, which
may
cause damage
or
fuel spillage.
