Mowing Safely

• Wear appropriate clothing: regular shoes (NO SANDALS) and full-length trousers.
• Use of eye and hearing protection is recommended.
• Operate grass-cutting equipment in dry conditions only - never when it is raining, lighting or the grass is slick.
• Before starting the mower clear the mowing area: pick up any rocks, sticks, toys, etc.
• Objects left in the mowing path may be picked up and shot through the air by the machine causing bodily injury and also damage to the machine.
• Never leave the operator’s position without stopping the engine first.
• Avoid putting hands, feet, etc close to the blade path when the engine is running -REMEMBER- the blade will take a few seconds to stop rotating after the engine is switched off.
