Overview
There are a wide range of mowers in use today, and if they are used correctly and maintained properly then they should pose very little risk to you or to anyone that is near to the machine. Sometimes accidents can happen, normally for very simple reasons, and that is why training is always important.
This one day training course will suit you if you are currently using a pedestrian mower as part of your work, and our one day course is for both the novice and experienced user who would like their skills to be verified with certification.
A maximum of two cutting mechanisms can be completed during this training course. The duration of training would be increased if additional mechanisms need to be used.
Most commonly used are rotary, cylinder or flail.
