Hayter SPIRIT 41 Electric Owner's Handbook Manual page 9

Always ensure that the mower is in a safe operating condition.
Frequently check all nuts, bolts and screws for tightness. Use only gen-
uine 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 resharp-
ened equally to maintain balance.
An unbalanced cutterblade may cause serious damage to your
machine.
Refer to "Maintenance."
SWITCH OFF AND REMOVE PLUG FROM MAINS.
- Before clearing blockages or unclogging the discharge chute.
- 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.
Walk, never run.
Mow across the face of slopes, never up and down.
Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes.
Do not mow excessively steep slopes.
