• The PELLENC SAS company accepts no responsibility for any damage caused by improper or unspecified use

different from its original intention.

• The PELLENC SAS company accepts no responsibility for any damage caused by the use of non-original parts

Operating rules to be respected for your safety when using lawn mowers with electric motors.

2.1.1. TRAINING

1. Read the instructions carefully. Become familiar with the controls and the proper use of equipment.

2. Never allow children or individuals who are unfamiliar with these instructions to use the machine. National

regulations may restrict operator age.

3. Never operate the machine while other people, especially children, or pets, are nearby.

4. Keep in mind that the operator or user is responsible for any accidents caused by them and the dangers that

other people or their property may run.

2.1.2. PREPARATION

1. During operation of the machine, always wear protective footwear and long trousers. Do not operate the ma-

chine barefoot or in sandals. Avoid wearing loose clothing or items with loose cords, or a tie.

2. Inspect the entire area where the machine will be used and remove all objects that might be thrown by it.

3. Before use, always visually inspect the machine to ensure that its cutting elements, bolts and the assembly in

general, are not worn or damaged. Replace sets of worn or damaged components in order to maintain proper

balance. Replace damaged or difficult to read labels.

4. Before use, check the power cable to detect signs of damage or aging. Immediately disconnect the battery if

the cable becomes damaged during use. Do not touch the cable before turning off the battery. Do not use

the machine if the cable is damaged or worn.

2.1.3. OPERATION

1. Only operate the machine in daylight or in good artificial light. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protec-

tion.

2. Avoid operating the machine on wet grass. Remove any adjusting wrenches before switching the tool on.

GRASS STRIMMER EXCELION ALPHA

53_144013_C

3. Always place your feet firmly when on slopes.

4. Walk, never run.

5. Mow transversely on slopes, never up and down.

6. Be very careful when changing direction on slopes.

7. Do not mow excessively steep slopes.

8. Use the machine with extreme caution when using it in reverse or pulling it toward you.

9. Turn off the cutting elements if the machine has to be tilted for transport through non-grassy areas and when

it has to be transported to or brought back from the location where it is to be used.

10. Never use the machine with defective guards or without safety devices in place, for example deflectors and/

or grass catchers.

11. Start the engine, drive carefully according to instructions and with your feet at a safe distance from the cutting

elements.

12. Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts. Never allow the ejection opening to get clogged.

13. Do not transport the machine while the power source is attached.

14. To stop the machine, turn off the battery and remove the battery connector. Make sure all moving parts have

completely stopped.

15. Stop the machine and remove the power-off device. Make sure all moving parts have completely stopped

• before leaving the machine,

• before cleaning any jams, or emptying the chute,

• before checking, cleaning or repairing the machine,

• after hitting an object inspect the machine to detect any damage and carry out repairs before restarting and

using it.

If the machine begins to vibrate abnormally, it is essential at once to:

• inspect the machine to see if it is damaged,

• check if any parts have worked loose, and tighten them if necessary,

• repair or replace any damaged parts.

2.1.4. MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

1. Make sure all nuts, bolts and screws are kept tight to be sure that the equipment is in good operating condition.

2. Check for wear or damage to the grass catcher frequently.

3. Replace worn or damaged parts so that the machine remains safe.

4. Take all precautions necessary when it comes to multi-blade machines, since the rotation of one cutting element

can cause all the others to rotate.

5. When adjusting the machine, avoid getting fingers caught between the moving blades and the fixed parts.

6. Always allow the machine to cool down before storing.

7. Pay attention during routine maintenance of the cutting elements, as they may still be moving, even if the power

source is cut off.

8. Replace worn or damaged parts so that the machine remains safe. Only use certified spare parts and acces-

sories.
