8. To help avoid blade contact or a thrown object injury,
stay in operator zone behind handles and keep children,
bystanders, helpers and pets at least 75 feet from mower
while it is in operation. Stop machine if anyone enters area.
9. Always wear safety glasses or safety goggles during
operation and while performing an adjustment or repair
to protect your eyes. Thrown objects which ricochet can
cause serious injury to the eyes.
10. 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 light
weight (e.g. canvas) shoes.
11. Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts or under
cutting deck. Contact with blade can amputate hands and
feet.
12. A missing or damaged discharge chute can cause blade
contact or thrown object injuries.
13. 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 on to the mower if you are falling; release the
handle immediately.
14. 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 to avoid tripping
and then follow these steps:
a. Step back from mower to fully extend your arms.
b. Be sure you are well balanced with sure footing.
c. Pull the mower back slowly, no more than half way
toward you.
d. Repeat these steps as needed.
15. Do not operate the mower while under the influence of
alcohol or drugs.
16. Stay alert — Watch what you are doing. Use common
sense. Do not operate lawn mower when you are tired.
17. 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.

18. Never operate the mower in the rain or in damp or wet
grass. 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.
19. Mow only in daylight or good artificial light. Walk, never
run.
20. Stop the motor/blade when crossing gravel drives, walks
or roads.
21. If the equipment should start to vibrate abnormally, stop
the engine and check immediately for the cause. Vibration
is generally a warning of trouble.
22. Shut the motor off and wait until the blade comes to
a complete stop before removing the grass catcher or
unclogging the chute. The cutting blade continues to
rotate for a few seconds after the motor is shut off. Never
place any part of the body in the blade area until you are
sure the blade has stopped rotating.
23. Never operate mower without proper trail shield,
discharge chute, grass catcher, motor/blade control handle
or other safety protective devices in place and working.
Never operate mower with damaged safety devices. Failure
to do so, can result in personal injury.
24. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection should
be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for the
lawn mower. Receptacles are available having built-in GFCI
protection and may be used for this measure of safety.
25. To prevent electric shock use only with a UL listed
extension cord set suitable for outdoor use, such as Type
SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A, SJOW-A, SJTW-A, or
SJTOW-A.
26. Extension Cord—Make sure your extension cord set is in
good condition and is heavy enough to carry the current
load your lawn mower will draw. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gauge cord. The smaller the gauge number, the
heavier the cord. An undersized cord will cause a drop in
line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
