SAFETY INFORMATION
■ Never operate the machine while people, especially
children, or pets are nearby.
■ Use extreme care when approaching blind corners,
doorways, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure
your view of a child or animal that may run into the path of
the mower.
■ Keep in mind that the operator or user is responsible for
accidents or hazards occurring to other people or their
property.
■ While operating the mower always wear substantial
footwear and long trousers. Do not operate the mower
when barefoot or wearing open toed sandals. Avoid
wearing clothing that is loose fitting or that has hanging
cords or ties.
■ Thoroughly inspect the area where the mower is to be
used. Remove all stones, sticks, and other objects that could
be tripped over or thrown by the blade. Thrown objects can
cause serious personal injury.
■ Before using, always visually inspect to see that the
blade, blade bolt and the blade assembly are not worn or
damaged. Replace worn or damaged components in sets
to preserve balance. Replace damaged or unreadable
labels.
■ Operate the mower only in daylight or in good artificial light.
■ Do not use the lawn mower in damp or wet conditions or
operate in the rain.
■ Working on sloping areas can be dangerous. Do not mow
on excessively steep slopes. Always be sure of your footing
on slopes or wet grass.
■ Walk, never run.
