keep bystanders, helpers, children and pets at least 75 feet 

from the machine while it is in operation. Stop machine if

foreign objects which could be picked up and thrown by 

the blade(s). Thrown objects can cause serious personal 

injury. 

Plan your mowing pattern to avoid discharge of material

avoid discharging material against a wall or obstruction 

which may cause discharged material to ricochet back

to protect your eyes. Thrown objects which ricochet can 

cause serious injury to the eyes.

9. 

slacks and shirts. Loose fitting clothes and jewelry can be 

caught in movable parts. Never operate this machine in 

bare feet or sandals. 

Be aware of the mower and attachment discharge direction

and do not point it at anyone. Do not operate the mower 

without the discharge cover or entire grass catcher in its 

proper place.
Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts or under the
