Specific Safety Rules - Craftsman 138.37097 Manuel Del Operador

■ Do not operate the mower without the entire grass
catcher, discharge guard, rear guard, or other safety
protective devices in place and working.
■ Follow manufacturer's instructions for proper
operation and installation of accessories. Only use
accessories approved by the manufacturer.
■ Clear the work area before each use. Remove all
objects such as rocks, sticks, wire, bones, toys, or
other objects which can be thrown by the blade. Stay
behind the handle when the motor is running.
■ Avoid holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden
objects. Uneven terrain could cause a slip and fall
accident.
■ D o n o t m o w n e a r d r o p - o f f s , d i t c h e s , o r
embankments.
■ Mow across the face of slopes, never up and down.
Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on
slopes.
■ Plan your mowing pattern to avoid discharge of
material toward roads, sidewalks, bystanders, and the
like. Also, avoid discharging material against a wall or
obstruction, which may cause the material to ricochet
back toward the operator.
■ Do not mow on wet grass or excessively steep
slopes. Poor footing could cause a slip and fall
accident. Walk, never run.
■ Use extra care when approaching blind corners,
shrubs, trees, or other objects that may block your
view.
■ Do not pull the mower backward unless absolutely
necessary. If you must back the mower away from a
wall or obstruction, first look down and behind to avoid
tripping.
■ Never direct discharged material toward anyone.
Avoid discharging material against a wall or
obstruction. Material may ricochet back toward
the operator. Stop the blade when crossing gravel
surfaces.
■ Objects struck by the lawn mower blade can cause
severe injuries to persons. The lawn should always be
carefully examined and cleared of all objects prior to
each mowing.
