Land-related risks :
- If the area is a steep incline : never trim going up or down the slope, but follow a line at right ongles to the slope.
- If the area is covered with natural or man-made obstacles, such as rocks, loose stones, tree trunks, bottles, pieces of metal,
stakes, and all types of foreign objects, these may become dangerous projectiles and put undue pressure on the cutting
tool. They should therefore be avoided.
- Beware of slipping on sloping or wet ground.
Never use scrub-cutters if housing protector covers are defective, or without the safety mechanism in use.
Never modify the engine speed settings, and do not over-rev the engine.
When trimming, wear a soundproof helmet or ear protectors.
Make sure that the cutting equipment is not engaged when going over gravel or earth paths, and when transporting the equipment
in general.
Avoid cutting near residential areas, pathways and roads or parking areas.
Never allow children or people unfamiliar with these instructions to use this grass cutter.
Never cut pulling the machine towards you.
When transporting the grass cutter other than under its own power, the engine must be switched off.
