Safety rules for petrol lawn mowers
Training
• Read the instructions carefully. Get familiar with the
controls and proper use of the equipment.
• Only use the lawn mower for the purpose for which it was
designed, i.e. for cutting and collecting grass. Any other
use can be hazardous, causing damage to the machine.
• Never allow children or people unfamiliar with these
instructions to use the lawn mower. Local regulations may
restrict the age of the operator.
• Never use the lawn mower:
– When people, especially children, or pets are nearby.
– If the operator has taken medicine or substances that
can affect his ability to react and concentrate.
• Remember that the operator or user is responsible
for accidents or hazards occurring to other people
or their property.
Preparation
• While mowing, always wear sturdy footwear and long
trousers. Do not operate the equipment when barefoot
or wearing open sandals.
• Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be
used and remove all objects which may be thrown by the
machine or damage the cutter assembly and the engine
(stones, sticks, metal wire, bones, etc.)
• WARNING: DANGER! Engine fuel is highly flammable:
– Store fuel in containers specifically designed for this purpose.
– Refuel using a funnel and outdoors only. Do not smoke
while refuelling or whenever handling the fuel.
– Add fuel before starting the engine. Never remove
the cap of the fuel tank or add fuel while the engine is
running or when the engine is hot.
– If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine but
move the machine away from the area of spillage and
avoid creating any source of ignition until the fuel has
evaporated and the vapour dispersed.
– Replace all fuel tanks and containers caps securely.
• Substitute faulty silencers.
• Before use, always inspect the machine, especially the
condition of the blades, and check that the screws and
cutting assembly are not worn or damaged. Replace worn or
damaged blades and screws in sets to preserve balance.
• Discharge openings must be guarded at all times. Do not
remove the discharge guard or hold it up while mowing.
• It is advisable to wear suitable eye protection when
operating the mower.

Operation
• Do not operate the engine in a confined space where
dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can collect.
• Mow only in daylight or good artificial light.
• If possible, avoid operating the equipment in wet grass.
• Always be sure of your footing on slopes.
• Walk, never run and do not allow yourself to be pulled
along by the lawn mower.
• Mow across the face of slopes, never up and down.
• Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes.
• Do not mow on slopes of more than 20°.
• Exercise extreme caution when pulling the lawn-mower
towards you.
• Stop the blade if the lawn mower has to be tilted for
transportation when crossing surfaces other than grass,
and when transporting the lawn mower to and from the
area to be mowed.
• Never operate the lawn mower with defective guards, or
without safety devices, such as the stoneguard and/or
grass-catcher, in place.
• Do not change the engine governor settings or over
speed the engine.
• On power-driven models, disengage the drive clutch
before starting the engine.
• Start the engine carefully, following the instructions and
keeping feet well away from the blade.
• Do not tilt the lawn mower when starting the engine.
Start the engine on a flat surface that is free of obstacles
and tall grass.
• Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts.
Keep clear of the discharge opening at all times.
• Never pick up or carry a lawn mower while the engine
is running.
• Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug wire:
– Before carrying out any work underneath the cutting deck
or before unclogging the chute;
– Before checking, cleaning or working on lawn mower;
– After striking a foreign object. Inspect the lawn mower for
damage and make repairs before restarting and operating
the lawn mower;
– If the lawn mower starts to vibrate abnormally (find and
remove the cause of the vibration immediately).
• Stop the engine:
– Whenever you leave the lawn mower unattended.
Remove the key from models with electric starters.
– Before refuelling.
– Every time you remove or replace the grass-catcher.
• Reduce the throttle before turning off the engine and turn
the fuel off when you have finished mowing, following the
instructions in the engine handbook.
• When mowing, always keep to a safe distance from the
rotating blade. This distance is the length of the handle.
• Never cut grass while walking backwards.
• Stop the engine before pushing mower across gravel
drives, walks or roads.
Maintenance and storage
• Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the
equipment is in safe working condition. Regular
maintenance is essential for safety and performance.
• Never store the equipment with fuel in the tank inside a
building where vapour may reach a flame or a spark or
a source of extreme heat.
• Allow the engine to cool before storing in an enclosed
space.
• To reduce the fire hazard, keep the engine, exhaust
silencer, battery compartment and fuel storage area
free of grass, leaves, or excessive grease. Do not leave
containers with grass cuttings in rooms.
