SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Safety Alert Symbol

This safety alert symbol indicates important safety

messages. When you see this symbol be alert to the

possibility of injury. Carefully read the following and

inform others.

Your mower is perfectly safe if used correctly. Failure

to observe the following precautions may result in

serious injury.

Training

Before using the mower read the owners handbook

carefully. Pay particular attention to the safety precautions.

Ensure that you are familiar with the controls and the

proper use of the equipment. Learn how to stop the mower

quickly in an emergency.

Never allow children or people unfamiliar with these

instructions to use the mower. Local regulations can

restrict the age of the operator.

Never mow while people, especially children, or pets are

nearby.

Keep in mind that the user is responsible for accidents or

hazards occurring to other people or their property.

Preparation

It is recommended that a high sensitivity Residual Current

- Operated Circuit - Breaker (RCCB) with a trip current

of not more than 30mA is installed at the mains socket.

This will provide the user with additional protection

against electric shock. The fuse installed in the plug only

provides protection for the electrical equipment and will

not safeguard against electrocution. Always check the

RCCB before using the mower.

WARNING: Regularly inspect the supply cable for signs

of damage or ageing. Replace immediately if defective.

While mowing, always wear substantial footwear and long

trousers. Do not operate the equipment when barefoot or

wearing sandals.

Thoroughly inspect the area where the mower is to be

used and remove all objects which may be thrown by the

machine.

A damaged cutterblade or loose fixing bolt are major

hazards. Before use, always visually inspect the cutting

mechanism to ensure that it is in good condition. A

damaged cutterblade must be replaced immediately with a

genuine Hayter replacement part.

Operation

SWITCH OFF AND REMOVE PLUG FROM

MAINS:

- Before clearing blockages or unclogging the

discharge chute.

- Before cleaning/checking or working on the

machine.

- Whenever you the leave the machine.

- After striking a foreign object. Inspect the machine

for damage and ensure necessary repairs are made

before re-starting and operating.

- If the machine starts to vibrate abnormally (check

immediately).

- If the supply cable is entangled.

THE CUTTERBLADE CAN CONTINUE TO RO-

TATE AFTER THE MACHINE IS SWITCHED OFF.

Keep the supply cable clear of the cutterblade at all

times.

Do not mow across the supply cable. If this occurs, dis-

connect the mains supply and check for damage. Do not

use a defective supply cable.

Mow only in daylight or good artificial light.

Avoid using the machine on wet grass, where feasible.
