• Make sure you know how to stop the engine and blade if necessary (see section entitled “Starting and stopping the engine”).

• All users should be familiar with the operations for use of the machine under absolutely safe conditions as described in this manual, and should be instructed in the proper cutting techniques to use, possibly by practical demonstration.

• Do not use the machine if you are tired, in poor health or under the effects of alcohol or medication that could affect your reactions.

• Do not allow children or persons who are not familiar with these instructions and are not sufficiently trained to use the brush cutter. Local regulations may specify an age limit for users.

• Keep this manual with the machine when selling or lending it, to enable the future users to familiarize themselves with the product and instructions for safe use.

• Always inspect the machine carefully prior to use: make sure it is correctly assembled and that there are no loose screws, damaged parts, fuel leaks.

• Prolonged use of the machine or other equipment can cause discomfort, stress, fatigue, hearing damage. Wear suitable hearing protection when using the machine. Correct and scrupulous maintenance can also help to protect you further from the risk of noise and vibration.

• Never start or run the engine in a closed or poorly ventilated place.

CAUTION! The exhaust fumes are toxic if inhaled, and may cause asphixiation and even death.
