12) Start up the motor carefully according to the instructions, keeping feet away

from the blade.

13) Do not incline the lawnmower when starting the motor, unless necessary for

start up.In this event, do not incline it more than is absolutely necessary and only

lift the part that is far from the operator. Always ensure that both hands are in the

working position before lowering the lawnmower again.

14) Never place your hands and feet near or under rotating parts. Keep away from

the discharge opening.

15) Do not lift or transport the lawnmower when the motor is running.

16) Stop the machine and remove plug from the socket.Make sure that all moving

parts have come to a complete stop:

– when transporting the machine;

– whenever you leave the machine.

– before clearing blockages or unclogging chute;

– before checking, cleaning or working on the machine;

– after striking a foreign object.Inspect the machine for damage and make repairs

before restarting and operating the machine.

If the machine starts to vibrate abnormally (check immediately):

– inspect for damage;

– replace or repair any damaged parts at a specialised centre;

– check for and tighten any loose parts.

17) Stop the motor:

– whenever you remove or reattach the grass-catcher;

– whenever you adjust the cutting height.

18) When mowing, always keep a safe distance from the rotary blade, given by the

length of the handle.

19) WARNING – If something breaks or an accident occurs during mowing, turn

o

ff 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 au-

thorities for any necessary health care. Carefully remove any debris that might

c

ause damage or harm persons or animals should it not be seen.

1) Be careful during adjustment of the machine to prevent entrapment of the fin-

g

ers between moving blades and fixed parts of the machine.

2

) Always allow the machine to cool down before storing.

3)When servicing the blades be aware that, even though the power sources is swit-

ched off, the blades can still be moved.

4) Keep all nuts and screws tight to be sure the machine is always in safe working

c

ondition. Routine maintenance is essential for safety and for maintaining a high

performance level.

5) To reduce fire hazards, keep lawnmower and in particular, the motor, free of

grass, leaves, or excessive grease. Never leave containers with cut grass inside

a storage area.

6

) Check the stone-guard and grass-catcher frequently for wear or deterioration.

7) For safety reasons, never use the machine when it has worn or damaged parts.

P

arts must be replaced and not repaired. Use original spare parts. Parts that are

not of the same quality can damage the equipment and impair your safety.

1) Before each use, check the machine for damage. Any repairs must be done at

a specialised centre.Turn off the machine and disconnect the plug from the soc-

ket if the machine begins to vibrate abnormally, then contact a specialised centre

f

or inspection.

2) Keep both hands on the grip during start up.

3

) Parts subject to wear must only be replaced at a specialised centre.

4) Never use the machine if the power cable or extension cable are damaged or

w

orn.

5) Never connect a damaged cable to a mains socket and never touch a damaged

c

able that is connected to the mains socket. Damaged or deteriorated cables may

cause contact with energised parts.

6) Do not touch the blade until the machine is disconnected from the mains soc-

ket and that the blade is completely still.

7) Keep the extension cable away from the blade.The blade can damage the ca-

ble and cause contact with energised parts.

8) Carefully read the instructions for using the machine safely.

9) Power up the machine using a differential switch (RCD - Residual Current De-

vice) with a tripping current of max. 30 mA.

10) If the machine’s power cable is damaged, it can only be replaced with an ori-

ginal spare part by your dealer or an authorised service centre.

1) The permanent connection of any electrical equipment to the mains of a buil-

ding must be installed by a qualified electrician in conformity with the regulations

in force. Incorrect wiring can cause serious injury and even death.

2) WARNING: DANGER! Moisture and electricity are not compatible:

– always handle and connect electric cables in dry conditions;

– never allow electric sockets or cables to contact wet areas (puddles or wet

grass);

– connections between cables and sockets must always be watertight. Only use

extension leads with intact, watertight and approved sockets sold on the mar-

ket.

3) The quality of the extension leads must be no less than H07RN-F or H07VV-F,

with a minimum section of 1.5 mm

2

and a recommended maximum length of 25

m.

4) Attach the extension lead to the cable fastener before starting the machine.

5) Before starting work, fit the discharge guards (grass-catcher or stone-guard).

6) Never run the lawnmower over the electric cable.While mowing, always drag the

cable behind the lawnmower on the side where grass has already been cut. Use

the cable fastener to prevent the cable from disconnecting accidentally as indica-

ted in this manual. Make sure it is connected to the socket without being forced.

7) Never use the power cable to pull the lawnmower or pull the cable to remove the

plug. Do not expose the cable to sources of heat, or let it come into contact with

oil, solvents and sharp objects.

8) Wear work gloves for disassembling and reassembling blades.

9) Keep the blade balanced during sharpening. All work on the blade (disassem-

bly, sharpening, balancing, reassembly and/or replacing) are demanding jobs

that require special skills as well as special tools. For safety reasons, these jobs

are best carried out at a specialised centre.

1) Whenever the machine is to be handled, lifted, transported or tilted you must:

– wear sturdy work gloves;

– grasp the machine at the points that offer a safe grip, taking account of the

weight and its distribution.

– 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 collec-

ted.

2) During transport, fasten the machine securely with cables or chains.

in a single passage! Regulate the forward speed according

to the lawn conditions and the amount of grass removed.

When finished mowing, release the lever (1) or both

levers (1a).

Disconnect the extension cable FIRST from the general

socket (2) THEN from the side of the lawnmower switch (3).

WAIT UNTIL THE BLADE STOPS before making an adjust-

ments to the lawnmower.

while mowing, you must wait about 5 minutes before restart-

ing it.

IMPORTANT - Routine and accurate maintenance is es-

sential in maintaining original machine safety and per-

formance levels.

Store the lawnmower in a dry place.

1) Wear sturdy work gloves before cleaning, maintaining or

adjusting the machine.

2) Accurately wash the machine with water after cutting, re-

move grass debris and mud accumulated in the chassis 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.

If necessary, the machine can be stored vertically,

hanging from a hook.

WARNING - Make sure the hook and its fastening system

are adequate and able to sustain the machine’s weight;

exercise caution and make sure children or animals do

not climb on the machine, weighing down the hook.

Fasten the machine so that the blade faces a wall or is

properly covered, so it is not dangerous in the event of

accidental contact with persons, children or animals.

To store the machine vertically, release the levers (1 -Type “I”)

or loosen the knobs (2 - Type “II”) and turn the handle forward

so the tooth marked with «>» matches EXCLUSIVELY with the

compartment marked «S» of the teeth, then lock the levers

(1 - Type “I”) or the knobs (2 - Type “II”).The position must be

the same for both sides.

The position must be the same for both sides.

Each adjustment made to the blade is best if done at

a specialised Centre that has the most appropriate tools.

Only blades with the following code must be used on this ma-

chine:

81004154/0 (for model 380)

81004155/0 (for model 420)

Blades must always be marked «GGP». Given product evo-

lution, the above mentioned blades may be replaced in time

by others, with similar interchangeable and operating safety

features.
