Maintenance and Storage
1. Stop the machine, remove the electric-start button, remove the battery pack from the machine, and
wait for all movement to stop before adjusting, servicing, cleaning, or storing the machine.
2. Do not attempt to repair the machine except as indicated in the instructions. Have an Authorised Service
Dealer perform service on the machine using identical replacement parts.
3. Wear gloves and eye protection when servicing the machine.
4. Sharpen a dull blade on both cutting edges to maintain balance. Clean the blade and ensure that it is
balanced.
5. Replace the blade if it is bent, worn, or cracked. An unbalanced blade causes vibration, which could
damage the motor or cause personal injury.
6. When servicing the blade, be aware that the blade can still move even though the power source is off.
7. Check the grass collection bag frequently for deterioration or wear, and replace a worn bag with a Hayter
[replacement] bag.
8. For best performance, use only genuine Hayter replacement parts and accessories. Other replacement
parts and accessories could be dangerous, and such use could void the product warranty.
9. Maintain the machine—Keep cutting edges sharp and clean for the best and safest performance. Keep
handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Keep guards in place and in working order. Keep blades
sharp. Use identical replacement blades only.
10. Check the machine for damaged parts—If there are damaged guards or other parts, determine whether
the machine will operate properly. Check for misaligned and binding moving parts, broken parts,
mounting, and any other condition that may affect its operation. Unless indicated in the instructions,
have an Authorised Service Dealer repair or replace a damaged guard or part.
11. When the battery pack is not in use, keep it away from metal objects such as paper clips, coins, keys,
nails, and screws that can make a connection from 1 terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals
may cause burns or a fire.
12. Check the blade and motor mounting bolts frequently for tightness.
13. When you are not using the machine, store it indoors in a dry, secure place out of the reach of children.
14. CAUTION—A mistreated battery pack may present a risk of fire or chemical burn. Do not disassemble
the battery pack. Do not heat the battery pack above 68°C (154°F) or incinerate it. Replace the battery
pack with a genuine Hayter battery pack only; using another type of battery pack may cause a fire or
explosion. Keep battery packs out of the reach of children and in the original packaging until you are
ready to use them.
15. Do not dispose of the battery in a fire. The cell may explode. Check with local authorities for possible
special disposal instructions.
