Do not operate the lawn mower when barefoot or wearing open sandals.

Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields when operating the lawn mower.

Warning: Gasoline is highly flammable. Take the following precautions:

±Store fuel in containers specifically designed for this purpose.

±Refuel outdoors only and do not smoke while refuelling.

±Add fuel before starting the engine. Never remove the cap of the fuel tank or add gasoline while the engine is running or when the engine is hot.

±If gasoline is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine. Move the lawn mower away from the area of spillage to avoid creating any source of ignition until the gasoline vapors have dissipated.

±Replace all fuel tank and container caps securely.

±If you must drain the fuel from the fuel tank, do it outdoors.

Replace faulty mufflers.

Before using, always visually inspect the blades, blade bolts, and cutter assembly for wear or damage. Replace worn or damaged blades and bolts in sets to preserve balance.

On multibladed lawn mowers, use care as rotating one blade can cause the other blades to rotate.

Operation

Do not operate the engine in a confined space where dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can collect.

Mow only in daylight or in good artificial light.

Always be sure of your footing on slopes.

Walk; never run.

Keep a firm hold on the handle.

For wheeled rotary lawn mowers, mow across the face of slopes, never up and down.

Exercise extreme caution when changing the direction on slopes.

Do not mow excessively steep slopes.

Use extreme caution when reversing or pulling the lawn mower toward you.

Before and while moving backward, look behind and down for small children.

Stop the blade(s) if you must tilt the lawn mower for transportation when crossing surfaces other than grass and when transporting the lawn mower to and from the area to be mowed.

Never operate the lawn mower with damaged or missing guards or shields, or without safety devices (such as deflectors and grass catchers) in place.

Do not change the speed settings on the engine.

Disengage all blade and drive clutches before starting the engine.

Start the engine carefully according to instructions and with feet well away from the blade(s).

Do not start the engine when standing in front of the discharge chute.

Do not put your hands or feet near or under rotating parts. Keep clear of the discharge opening at all times.

Never pick up or carry a lawn mower while the engine is running.

Stop the engine and disconnect the spark-plug wire:

±before clearing blockages or unclogging the chute;

±before checking, cleaning, or working on the lawn mower;

±after striking a foreign object. Inspect the lawn mower for damage and make repairs before starting and operating the lawn mower; and

±if the lawn mower starts to vibrate abnormally (check it immediately).

Stop the engine:

±whenever you leave the lawn mower; and

±before refuelling.

Reduce the throttle setting during engine run-out and, if the engine has a shutoff valve, turn the fuel off after mowing.

Stop the blade(s) when crossing gravel drives, walks, or roads.

Shut the engine off and wait until the blade comes to a complete stop before removing the grass catcher.

Do not operate the lawn mower while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

If the lawn mower should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the engine and check immediately for the cause. Vibration is generally a warning of trouble.

Slopes are a major factor related to slip and fall accidents which can result in a severe injury. If you feel uneasy on a slope, do not mow it.
