petrol tank cap while the engine is running or when it is hot;
if you have spilt some fuel, do not attempt to start the engine but
move the lawnmower away from the area of spillage to avoid creat-
ing any source of ignition until the fuel has evaporated and fuel
vapours have dissipated.
always put the tank and fuel container caps back on and tighten well;
4) Replace faulty silencers
5) Before use, always inspect generally and in particular to see that the
blade, screws and cutting unit are not worn or damaged. Replace
damaged or worn blades and screws to preserve balance.
6) Before starting work, fit the exit guards (grass-catcher or stone-
guard).
1) Do not operate the engine in a confined space where dangerous
carbon monoxide fumes can develop.
2) Mow only in daylight or good artificial light.
3) If possible, avoid mowing wet grass.
4) Make sure you have a steady foothold on slopes.

9) Stop the engine:
whenever you leave the lawnmower unattended.Also remove the key
on models with electric start up;
before refuelling;
whenever you remove or reattach the grass-catcher;
before adjusting the cutting height.
20) Reduce the throttle setting before stopping the engine.Shut off the
fuel supply when mowing is done, following the instructions in the en-
gine manual.
21) When mowing, always keep a safe distance from the rotary blades,
given by the length of the handle.
1) Keep all nuts 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 lawnmower with fuel in the tank in an area where
fuel vapours could reach an open flame, a spark or a strong heat
source.
3) Allow the engine to cool before storing the lawnmower in any en-
closure.
4) To reduce fire hazards, keep the engine, silencer, battery compart-
ment and petrol storage area free of grass, leaves, or excessive grease.
Never leave containers with cut grass inside a storage area.
5) Check the stone-guard and grass-catcher frequently for wear or de-
terioration.
6) If the fuel tank has to be emptied, this should be done outdoors
once the engine has cooled down.
7) Wear work gloves for disassembling and reassembling blades.
8) Keep the blade balanced during sharpening. All work on the blade
(disassembly, sharpening, balancing, reassembly and/or replacing)
are demanding jobs that require special skill as well as special tools.
For safety reasons, these jobs are best carried out at a specialized cen-
tre.
9) For safety reasons, never use the machine when it has worn or dam-
aged parts. Parts must be replaced and not repaired. Use original
spare parts. Parts that are not of the same quality can damage the
equipment and impair your safety.

tilted you must:
wear sturdy work gloves;
grasp the machine at the points that offer a safe grip, taking ac-
count of the weight and its distribution.
