The Possibility Of Injury. Before Using The Machine
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.
