2. Istruzioni di sicurezza
Per evitare lesioni o danni, osservare sempre le seguenti precauzioni di sicurezza:
- Leggi il manuale: Familiarizzare con tutti i comandi e con il corretto utilizzo della macchina.
- Dispositivi di protezione individuale: Always wear sturdy footwear and long trousers. Do not operate the machine barefoot or in open sandals.
- Cancella l'area: Before mowing, clear the area of stones, sticks, wires, bones, and other foreign objects that could be thrown by the blade.
- Inspect the Mower: Before each use, check the power cord for damage. If damaged, have it replaced by a qualified technician.
- Tenere lontani gli astanti: Keep children, pets, and other people away from the mowing area.
- Evitare l'erba bagnata: Do not mow in wet conditions, as this can be hazardous and reduce cutting efficiency.
- Mantenere una distanza di sicurezza: Always keep hands and feet away from the cutting blade.
- Scollegare l'alimentazione: Always disconnect the power supply before cleaning, adjusting, or performing maintenance on the mower.
- Funzionamento in pendenza: Prestare la massima attenzione quando si taglia l'erba sui pendii. Tagliare l'erba in senso trasversale, mai in salita e in discesa.

5. Manutenzione
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your lawn mower.
5.1 Pulizia del tosaerba
- Scollegare sempre l'alimentazione prima della pulizia.

5.2 Cura della lama
A sharp blade is crucial for a clean cut and efficient operation. Inspect the blade regularly for wear, damage, or dullness. If the blade is damaged or excessively dull, it should be sharpened or replaced by a Stihl authorized service center. Never attempt to sharpen or replace the blade without disconnecting the power and wearing appropriate protective gloves.
