◾ ◾
Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be used. Remove all stones, sticks, wire, toys and other
foreign objects that could be tripped over or picked up and thrown by the blade. Thrown objects can cause serious
personal injury.
◾ ◾
Plan your mowing pattern to avoid discharge of material toward roads, sidewalks, bystanders and the like. Also,
avoid discharging material against walls or obstructions, which may cause discharged material to ricochet back
toward the operator.
◾ ◾
To help avoid blade contact or an injury from thrown objects, stay in the operator zone behind the handles and
keep children, bystanders, helpers and pets at least 100 feet (30m) from the mower while it is in operation. Stop
the machine if anyone enters the area.
◾ ◾
Always wear safety glasses or safety goggles during operation and while performing an adjustment or repair to
protect your eyes. Thrown objects that ricochet can cause serious injury to the eyes. Always use a face or dust
mask if the operation is dusty.
◾ ◾
Dress properly – Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can be caught in moving parts. Use of rubber gloves
and footwear is recommended when working outdoors. Wear sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and close-fitting
slacks and shirts. Shirts and pants that cover the arms and legs and steel-toed shoes are recommended. Never
operate this machine in bare feet, sandals, slippery or lightweight (e.g., canvas) shoes.
◾ ◾
Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts or under the cutting deck. Contact with the blade can amputate hands
and feet.
◾ ◾
A missing or damaged discharge cover can cause blade contact or injuries from thrown objects.
◾ ◾
Many injuries occur as a result of the mower being pulled over the foot during a fall caused by slipping or tripping.
Do not hold onto the mower if you are falling; immediately release the handle.
◾ ◾
Never pull the mower back toward you while you are walking. If you must back the mower away from a wall or
obstruction, first look down and behind you to avoid tripping, and then follow these steps:
◾ ◾
Step back from mower to fully extend your arms.
◾ ◾
Be sure you are well balanced with sure footing.
◾ ◾
Pull the mower back slowly, no more than half way toward you.
◾ ◾
Repeat these steps as needed.
◾ ◾
Do not operate the mower while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
◾ ◾
Stay alert – watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate the lawn mower when you are tired.
◾ ◾
The motor/blade control handle is a safety device. Never attempt to bypass its operation. Doing so makes the safety
device inoperative and may result in personal injury through contact with the rotating blade. The motor/blade control
handle must operate easily in both directions and automatically return to the disengaged position when released.
◾ ◾
Avoid dangerous environments – Don't use lawn mowers in damp or wet locations so as to avoid slipping and
falling during operation.
◾ ◾
Always be sure of your footing. A slip and fall can cause serious personal injury. If you feel you are losing your
footing, release the motor/blade control handle immediately and the blade will stop rotating within three seconds.
◾ ◾
Mow only in daylight or good artificial light. Walk, never run while operating.
◾ ◾
Stop the blade when crossing gravel drives, walks or roads.
◾ ◾
If the equipment should start to vibrate abnormally, immediately stop the motor, remove the battery and check for
the cause. Vibration is generally a warning of trouble.
