ened on a regular basis.

7) Wear work gloves when handling, disassembling and re-

assembling all cutting means.

8) Keep the cutting means well balanced during sharpen-

ing. All work on the cutting means (disassembly, sharpen- ing, balancing, reassembly and/or replacing) are demand- ing jobs that require special skills as well as special tools. For safety reasons, these jobs are best carried out at a specialised centre.

9) Be careful during adjustment of the machine to prevent

entrapment of the ngers between moving parts of the cut- ting means and xed parts of the machine.

10) Do not touch the cutting means until the machine is dis-

connected from the mains socket and the cutting means is completely stationary. When servicing the cutting means, bear in mind that, even though the power supply is switched o, the cutting means can still move.

11) Check the side discharge guard, the rear discharge

guard and the grass catcher frequently for signs of wear or deterioration. Replace them if they are damaged.

13) Store the machine out of the reach of children!

14) Allow the motor to cool down before storing in any en-

15) To reduce re hazards, keep the lawnmower and, in

particular, the motor free of grass, leaves, or excessive grease. Always empty the grass catcher and do not leave containers full of cut grass inside storage areas.

E) ADDITIONAL WARNINGS

1) Do not use the machine in explosive atmospheres, such

as in the presence of ammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

2) Keep the extension lead away from the cutting means.

The cutting means can damage the cable and cause con- tact with energised parts.

3) Never run the lawnmower over the electric cable. While

mowing, always drag the cable behind the lawnmower on the side where the grass has already been cut. Use the cable fastener to prevent the cable from disconnecting ac- cidentally as indicated in this manual. Make sure it is con- nected to the socket without being forced.

4) Power up the machine using a dierential switch (RCD

– Residual Current Device) with a tripping current of max. 30 mA.

5) Machine plugs must always match the relative outlets.

Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) machines. Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

6) If the machine’s power cable is damaged, it can only be

replaced with an original spare part by your dealer or an au- thorised service centre.

7) The permanent connection of any electrical equipment

to the mains of a building must be installed by a quali- ed electrician in conformity with the regulations in force. Incorrect wiring can cause serious injury and even death.

8) WARNING: DANGER! Moisture and electricity are not

compatible: Always handle and connect electric cables in dry condi- tions: – never allow electric sockets or cables to come into con- tact with wet areas (puddles or wet grass); – connections between cables and sockets must always be watertight. Only use extension leads with intact, wa- tertight and approved sockets sold on the market.3

9) The quality of the power cables must be no less than

H07RN-F or H07VV-F, with a minimum section of 1.5 mm² and a recommended maximum length of 25 m.

10) Attach the power cable to the cable fastener before ig-

11) Do not use the cable improperly. Never use the cable for

carrying, pulling or unplugging the machine. Keep the cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cables increase the risk of electric shock.

12) To avoid overheating, do not keep the extension lead

rolled up during use.

13) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces,

such as pipes, radiators, cookers and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

14) Do not overload the machine. Use a machine that is

suitable for the job. A suitable machine will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

F) TRANSPORTATION AND HANDLING

1) Whenever the machine is to be handled, lifted, transport-

ed or tilted you must: – Wear sturdy work gloves; – Grasp the machine at the points that oer a safe grip, taking into account the weight and relative distribution of the same – Use an appropriate number of people for the weight of the machine and the characteristics of the vehicle or the place where it must be placed or collected – Make sure that machine movements do not cause dam- age or injuries.

AND SCOPE OF APPLICATION

This machine is a garden tool and more precisely a pedes- trian-controlled lawnmower. The machine is essentially composed of a motor which drives a cutting means enclosed in a casing, equipped with wheels and a handle. The operator is able to operate the machine and use the main controls, always staying behind the handle at a safe distance from the rotary cutting means. If the operator leaves the machine, the motor and cutting means will stop within a few seconds. Intended use This machine was designed and manufactured for cutting (and collecting) grass in gardens and grassy areas, in ar- eas in proportion to its cutting capacity, done by a pedes- trian operator. The presence of attachments or specic devices can pre- vent cut grass from being collected or produce a mulching eect, depositing cut grass on the ground. User types This machine is intended for use by consumers, i.e. non- professional operators. The machine is intended for “DIY” use only. Improper use Any other usage not in keeping with the above-mentioned ones may be hazardous and harm persons and/or dam- age things. Examples of improper use may include, but are not lim- ited to: – transporting persons, children or animals on the ma- chine; – letting oneself be transported by the machine; – using the machine to tow or push loads; – using the machine for leaf or debris collection; – using the machine to trim hedges, or for cutting vegeta- tion other than grass; – use of the machine by more than one person; – using the rotary cutting means on surfaces other than grass.

2. CONTROLS DESCRIPTION

NOTE The meanings of the symbols on controls are explained in the previous pages.

2.1 Dual-action switch

The motor is controlled by a dual-action switch to prevent accidental start-ups. Press the button (2) and pull the lever (1) to ignite the motor. WARNING! Ignition of the motor simultaneously engages the cutting means. The motor stops automatically when the lever (1) is re- leased.

2.2 Cutting height adjustment

To adjust the cutting height, turn the machine over on one side and position the wheel axis in one of the three provid-5 ed slots inside the chassis. The height must be the same for both axes. DO THIS WHEN THE CUTTING MEANS IS STATIONARY.

NOTE This machine can be used to mow lawns in a num- ber of different ways; before starting work, prepare the ma- chine based on how the lawn is to be mowed. DO THIS WHEN THE MOTOR IS SWITCHED OFF.

3.1 Preparation for grass cutting

and collection in the grass catcher: Lift the rear discharge guard (1) and fasten the grass catch- er (2) correctly as shown in the illustration.

Fasten the extension lead correctly as shown. To ignite the motor, push the safety button (2) and pull the switch lever (1).

While mowing, make sure the electric cable is always be- hind you and on the side of the lawn that has already been cut. The appearance of the lawn will improve if you alternate cutting in both directions at the same height. When the grass catcher is too full, grass collection is no longer ecient and the sound of the lawnmower changes. To remove and empty the grass catcher, – release the switch lever and wait for the cutting means to stop; – lift the rear discharge guard, grasp the handle and re- move the grass catcher keeping it in an erect position. Lawn care recommendations Each type of grass has dierent characteristics and may thus require dierent ways of caring for the lawn; always read the instructions on seed boxes for mowing height for the growing conditions in the work area. Keep in mind that most grass is made up of a stem and one or more leaves. If leaves are fully cut, the lawn is damaged and growth is more dicult. The following indications generally apply: – cutting too low tears and uproots the grass, giving it a “spotted” appearance; – in the summer, cutting must be higher to prevent the ground from drying; – do not cut wet grass; this could reduce cutting means ef- ciency due to sticky grass and tear the lawn. – for particularly high grass, initially mow at the maximum height allowed by the machine then mow again after two or three days.

3.4 End of operations

Release the lever (1) when work has been completed. Disconnect the extension lead FIRST from the general mains socket (2) THEN from the side of the lawnmower switch (3). WAIT UNTIL THE CUTTING MEANS STOPS before mak- ing any adjustments to the lawnmower. IMPORTANT If the motor stops while mowing due to over- heating, you must wait about 5 minutes before restarting it.

4. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

Store the lawnmower in a dry place. IMPORTANT Routine and accurate maintenance is es- sential in maintaining original machine safety and perfor- mance levels. Adjustments or maintenance operations must only be per- formed with the motor switched o and the machine discon- nected from the mains power supply.

1) Wear strong protective gloves before cleaning, main-

taining or adjusting the machine.

2) Accurately wash the machine with water after cutting,

remove grass debris and mud accumulated in the chas- sis to prevent it from drying and causing problems the next time the lawnmower is used.

3) Always make sure the air intakes are free of debris.

4.1 Cutting means maintenance

It is best if all interventions on the cutting means are done at a specialised Centre that has the most appropriate tools and equipment. Only cutting means bearing the code indicated in table on page ii must be used on this machine. Given product evolution, the above mentioned cutting means may be replaced in time with others having similar interchangeable and operating safety features. Reassemble the cutting means (2) with the code facing the ground, following the steps indicated in the illustration. Tighten the central screw (1) using a torque wrench set to 15 Nm.

4.2 Cleaning the machine
