SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
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.
Read the instructions carefully. 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.
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.
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 power 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.
Always wear substantial footwear and long trousers while mowing. Do
not operate the equipment when barefoot or wearing sandals.
Thoroughly inspect the area where the mower is to be used and remove
all stones, sticks, wires, bones and other foreign objects.

PRECAUTIONSSAFETY
Always ensure that the mower is in a safe operating condition.
Frequently check all nuts, bolts and screws for tightness. Use only genuine Hayter parts.
A damaged cutterblade and loose fixing bolt are major hazards. Before
use, 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. Cutterblades which are slightly
worn can be resharpened. Ensure that both cutting edges are resharpened equally to maintain balance.
An unbalanced cutterblade may cause serious damage to your
machine.
Refer to "Maintenance."

- Before cleaning, checking or working on the mower.
- Whenever you leave the mower.
- After striking a foreign object. Inspect the mower for damage
and make repairs before re-starting and operating the mower.
- If the mower starts to vibrate abnormally (check immediately).
- If the supply cable is entangled.
THE CUTTERBLADE CAN CONTINUE TO ROTATE AFTER
THE MACHINE IS SWITCHED OFF.
Keep the supply cable clear of the cutterblade at all times.
Do not mow across the supply cable. Immediately disconnect the cable
from the mains supply if this occurs and check for damage. Do not use
a defective supply cable.
Mow only in the daylight or in good artificial light.
Avoid using the mower on wet grass, where feasible.
Always be sure of your footing on slopes.
