drives a cutting means enclosed in a casing, equipped with
wheels and a handle.
The operator is able to operate the machine and use the
main controls, always staying behind the handle at a safe
distance from the rotating cutting means. If the operator
leaves the machine, the engine and cutting means will stop
within a few seconds.

vent cut grass from being collected or produce a mulching
effect, depositing cut grass on the ground.
