2. SAFETY REGULATIONS

2.1 TRAINING

⚠️ Become familiar with the controls and the proper use of the machine. Learn how to stop the machine quickly. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in fire and/or serious injury.

• Never allow the machine to be used by children or individuals with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or without experience and know-how, or individuals who do not have the necessary familiarity with the instructions. Local regulations may restrict the age of the operator.
• Never use the machine if the user is tired or unwell, or has taken medication, drugs, alcohol or substances that impair reflexes and concentration.
• Remember that the operator or user is responsible for accidents and unexpected events that can occur to other people or property. It is the user's responsibility to assess the potential risk of the area where work is to be carried out and to take all the necessary precautions to ensure his own safety and that of others, particularly on slopes or rough, slippery and unstable ground.
• If the machine is sold or lent to others, make sure that the operator looks over the user instructions contained in this manual.

2.2 PRELIMINARY OPERATIONS

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

• Always wear slim-fitting protective clothes with slash-proof protection, anti-vibration gloves, helmet, protective goggles, half-mask respirator, protective earplugs, cut resistant safety boots with non-slip soles.
• Use of hearing protections can reduce the ability to hear any warnings (shouting or alarms). Be careful of what occurs around you in the work area.
• Never wear scarves, shirts, necklaces, bracelets, loose flowing clothing, laces or ties or any hanging or flapping accessory that could catch in the machine or in any objects or materials in the work area.
• Tie your hair back if it is long.

Work / Machine Area

- Thoroughly inspect the entire work area and remove anything that could be thrown by the machine or damage the cutting means/rotating units (stones, branches, iron wire, bones, etc.).

2.3 DURING OPERATION

Work Area

• Do not use the machine in environments that pose the risk of explosion, in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or powders. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
  • Work only in daylight or with good artificial light in good visibility conditions.

• Keep people, children and animals away from the work area. Children must be supervised by another adult.

• Check that there is nobody within 15 metres of the machine's range of operation or within 30 metres for heavier cutting.
• Avoid working with wet grass, in the rain and when there is a risk of a thunderstorm, especially lightening.
• Do not expose the machine to rain or wet environments. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
• Where possible, avoid working on wet, slippery ground or on uneven or steep ground that does not guarantee stability for the operator.
• Pay careful attention to uneven ground (hills, dips), slopes, hidden hazards and obstacles that could limit visibility.
• Be very careful near ravines, ditches or embankments.
• Always work across the face of the slope and never up and down it, being very careful when changing direction, making sure the cutting means is always downstream.
• Look out for traffic when using the machine near the road.

Conduct

• When working, the machine must always be firmly held in both hands, keeping the power unit on the right of the body and the cutting group below the line of the belt. Do not excessively extend arms.
• 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.

• Always use caution and take on a firm and well-balanced position.
• Never run, always walk.
  • Always keep hands and feet away from the cutting means, when starting and when using the machine.
• Attention: the cutting means will continue to rotate for a few seconds after disengagement or after you have switched off the motor.
• Be careful of flying debris coming from the cutting means.
• Be careful of avoiding violent collisions between the cutting means and foreign objects/obstacles. Kickback may occur if the cutting means comes into contact with an obstacle/object. This contact can cause a rapid jerk in the opposite direction, pushing the cutting means up and towards the operator. Kickback can cause the operator to lose control of the machine, leading to serious consequences. To avoid kickbacks, take all the appropriate precautions indicated below:

– Firmly hold the machine, with two hands, and place your body and arms in a position that allows you to resist kickback.
- Do not extend the arms too high and do not cut above waist height.
– Use only the cutting means specified by the manufacturer.

– Follow the manufacturer's instructions concerning cutting means maintenance.

- Beware of injuries caused by devices used to cut the line length.

⚠️ If something breaks or an accident occurs during work, turn off the motor immediately and move the machine away to prevent further damage; if an accident occurs with injuries or third parties are injured, carry out the first aid measures most suitable for the situation immediately and contact the medical authorities for any necessary health care. Carefully remove any debris which could cause damage or injury to persons or animals if ignored.

Prolonged exposure to vibrations can cause injuries and neurovascular disorders (also called "Raynaud's syndrome" or "white hand"), especially to people suffering from circulation disorders. The symptoms can regard the hands, wrists and fingers and are shown through loss of sensitivity, torpor, itching, pain and discolouring of or structural changes to the skin. These effects can be worsened by low ambient temperatures and/or by gripping the hand grips excessively tightly. If the symptoms occur, the length of time the machine is used must be reduced and a doctor consulted.

Restrictions of use

- Do not use the machine if you are unable to hold it with both hands or keep steady on your legs while working.

• Never assemble metal cutting means. The use of metal or rigid blades of any type with this machine is prohibited.
• Never use the machine with damaged, missing or incorrectly positioned guards.
• Don't use the machine if the attachments/tools are not installed in their seats.
• Never disengage, deactivate, remove or tamper with the safety systems/micro switches installed.
• Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Do not strain the machine too much and do not use a small machine for heavy-duty work; if you use the right machine, you will reduce the risk of hazards and improve the quality of your work.

Ensure regular maintenance and correct storage to maintain machine safety and high performance levels.

Maintenance

• Never use the machine with worn or damaged parts. Faulty or worn-out parts must always be replaced and never repaired.
• Be careful during adjustment of the machine to prevent entrapment of the fingers between moving parts of the cutting means and fixed parts of the machine.

The noise and vibration levels shown in these instructions are the maximum levels for use of the machine. The use of an unbalanced cutting element, the excessive speed of movement, or the absence of maintenance have a significant influence on noise emissions and vibrations. Consequently, it is necessary to take preventive steps to eliminate possible damage due to high levels of noise and stress from vibration; maintain the machine well, wear ear protection devices, and take breaks whilst working.

Storage

- To reduce fire risks, do not leave containers with debris inside a room.

2.5 RESIDUAL RISKS

Despite compliance with all safety prescriptions, some further hazards may remain:

– danger of injuries to fingers and hands if caught in the rotation of the cutting line;
– danger of injuries to feet if struck by the cutting line,
- stones and soil projections.

2.6 BATTERY / BATTERY CHARGER

IMPORTANT The following safety instructions are in addition to the safety requirements provided in the specific battery and battery charger manual delivered with this machine.

- Only use battery chargers recommended by the

manufacturer to recharge batteries. An inadequate battery charger may cause electric shock, overheating or corrosive liquid to leak from the battery.

• Use only batteries specifically designed for your power tool. The use of other batteries may cause injuries and fire risks.
• Make sure that the machine is switched off before inserting the battery. Inserting a battery in a machine which is switched on can cause a fire.
• Keep all unused batteries at a distance from paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects as contact with the same can cause short circuits. Short circuits between battery contacts can lead to explosion or fires.

- Do not use the battery charger in places where there are inflammable vapours, substances or on easily inflammable surfaces like paper, fabric, etc. During recharge, the battery charger becomes heated and may cause fire.

- When transporting batteries, do not allow the contacts ever to come into contact with each other and never use metal containers to transport them.

2.7 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

Protecting the environment must be a significant and top priority for machine use, to the benefit of civil co-habitation and of the environment that we live in.

- Avoid being an element of disturbance to the surrounding

area. Use this machine at reasonable times of the day only (not early morning or late evening when the noise could cause disturbance).

• Scrupulously comply with local regulations for the disposal of packaging, deteriorated parts or any elements with a strong environmental impact; this waste must not be disposed of with regular waste, but must be separated and taken to collection centres, which will recycle the materials.
• Comply with local regulations for the disposal of waste materials.
• When the machine is withdrawn from service, do not dispose of it in the environment, but take it to a waste disposal facility in accordance with the local regulations in force.

Do not throw electrical equipment away with domestic waste. According to European Directive 2012/19/EU on electrical and electronic equipment waste and its implementation, according to UK Regulation “The waste electrical and electronic equipment regulations 2013 (as amended)” and according to national regulations, old electrical equipment must be collected separately, for eco-compatible recycling. If electrical equipment is disposed of in a landfill or in the ground, the harmful substances can reach the water table and enter the food chain, damaging your health and well-being. For further information on the disposal of this product, contact

your dealer or a domestic waste collection service.

At the end of their working life, dispose of batteries safely in an eco-friendly manner. Batteries contain material classified as hazardous for you and the environment. They must be removed and disposed of separately at a facility that accepts lithium-ion batteries.

Separate waste collection of the products and packaging used allows the materials to be recycled and reused. Reuse of recycled materials help to prevent environmental pollution and reduces the demand for raw materials.

5. Press the safety button (Fig. 10.C),
6. engage the blade control lever (Fig. 10.A) and the safety switch simultaneously (Fig. 10.B).

6.4 OPERATION

NOTE Before tackling a mowing job for the first time, get to know the machine, learn the most suitable cutting techniques, grip the machine firmly and make the movements required by the job.

To use the machine proceed as follows: – always hold the machine firmly with two hands, using the cutting unit below the operator's belt level.

NOTE During use, the battery is protected against total drainage with a protective device that switches off the machine and stops it from working.

NOTE The battery power reserve (and therefore the mowable vegetation area before recharging is required) depends on various factors (par. 7.2.1).

NOTE After one minute of inactivity, if turned on, the machine will automatically switch off.

6.4.1 Work techniques

Use ONLY nylon lines. The use of metal lines, plastic coated metal lines and/or lines that are not suitable for the head can cause serious injuries and wounds.

a. Cutting motion (Scything)

• Make sure the cutting means is in grass trimmer mode (par. 6.1.3);
  – proceed at a regular pace, with a circular motion similar to a traditional scythe, without tilting the cutting line head during the operation (Fig. 17).

Start cutting at the correct height in a small area, so as to achieve a uniform cutting height keeping the cutting line head at a constant distance from the ground.

For heavier cutting it can be useful to tilt the cutting line head to the left by about 30^ .

Do not work in this way if there is the possibility of causing objects to be thrown, which could harm people, animals or cause damage.

b. Precision cutting (Trimming)

Keep the machine slightly tilted so that the lower part of the cutting line head does not touch the ground and the cutting line is at the required point, always keeping the cutting means at a distance from the operator.

c. Cutting near fences/foundations

- Adjust the cutting limit indicator (if applicable, par. 6.1.4); - move the cutting line head slowly towards fences, posts, rocks, walls, etc. without hitting them hard (Fig. 14).

If the line strikes a solid object it could break or become worn; if it gets tangled in a fence it could break suddenly. In any case, cutting around pavements, foundations, walls, etc. can cause greater wear than normal to the line.

d. Cutting around trees

- Adjust the cutting limit indicator (if applicable, par. 6.1.4); - walk round the tree from left to right, approaching the trunks slowly so as not to strike the tree with the line and keeping the cutting line head tilted forward slightly.

Remember that the nylon line could lop off or damage small shrubs and that the impact of the nylon line against the trunk of bushes or trees with soft bark could seriously damage the plant.

6.4.2 Automatic line release

This machine is fitted with an automatic line release head.

To release new line:

1. stop the machine (par. 6.6);
2. wait for two seconds and restart the machine.
   The cutting diameter is set to 30 cm.
   Repeat the procedure until the line length reaches the line cutting knife (Fig. 18.A) that will cut any excess length.

6.5 OPERATING SUGGESTIONS

During use it is advisable to periodically remove weeds that wrap around the machine to avoid the motor overheating (Fig. 1.A), as well as under the cutting means guard (Fig. 1.D).

Proceed as follows:

• stop the machine (par. 6.6);
• remove the battery (par. 7.2.2);
• wear protective gloves;
  – remove the caught-up grass with a screwdriver to allow the engine to be properly cooled.

6.6 STOP

To stop the machine:

1. release the throttle control lever (Fig. 10.A);
2. Wait until the cutting means stops.
