SAFETY
Child Safety
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not
alert to the presence of children and other curious
by-standers. Children are naturally attracted to
machines and the work being done. Never assume
children will remain where you last saw them.
1. Keep children and others out of the operating
area and under the watchful eye or another
responsible adult.
2. Be alert and turn machine off if children enter
the work area.
3. Before and when backing, look behind for
children and others.
4. Never carry children while operating the
machine. They may fall off and be seriously
injured or worse.
5. Never allow children to play on the machine
or attachment even when machine(s) are
turned off.
6. Never allow children to operate the machine
even under adult supervision.
7. Use extra care when approaching blind
corners, shrubs, trees, or other obstructions
that might hide children from sight.
