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.
