The operation of any snow thrower can re- sult in foreign objects being thrown into the eyes, which can result in severe eye dam- age_ Always wear safety glasses or eye shields while operating the snow thrower.
We recommend standard safety glasses or a wide vision safety mask for over your glasses, available at Craftsman Retail Stores or Service Centers°
CAUTION: Read owner's manual before operating machine. Never direct discharge toward bystanders. Release the auger control bar and stop the engine before unclogging discharge chute or auger housing and before leaving the machine.
