Operating Safety

Congratulations on purchasing a superior-quality piece of 

lawn and garden equipment.  Our products are designed and 

manufactured to meet or exceed all industry standards for 

safety.  
Power equipment is only as safe as the operator.  If it is 

misused, or not properly maintained, it can be dangerous!  

Remember, you are responsible for your safety and that of 

those around you.  
Use common sense, and think through what you are doing.  If 

you are not sure that the task you are about to perform can 

be safely done with the equipment you have chosen, ask a 

professional: contact your local authorized dealer.

Read the Manual

The operator’s manual contains important safety information you need to be aware 

of BEFORE you operate your unit as well as DURING operation.  
Safe operating techniques, an explanation of the product’s features and 

controls, and maintenance information is included to help you get the most 

out of your equipment investment.  
Be sure to completely read the Safety Rules and Information found on the 

following pages.  Also completely read the Operation section.

Children

Tragic accidents can occur with children.  Do not allow them 

anywhere near the area of operation.  Children are often 

attracted to the unit and usage activity.  Never assume 

that children will remain where you last saw them.  If there 

is a risk that children may enter the area where you are 

operating, have another responsible adult watch them.
