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 xing 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.

- Before clearing blockages or unclogging the
discharge chute.

THE CUTTERBLADE CAN CONTINUE TO RO-
TATE AFTER THE MACHINE IS SWITCHED OFF.
Keep the supply cable clear of the cutterblade at all
