A FEW WORDS ABOUT SAFETY
Your safety, and the safety of others, is very important. And using this
lawn mower safely is an important responsibility.
To help you make informed decisions about safety, we have provided
operating procedures and other information on labels and in this
manual. This information alerts you to potential hazards that could hurt
you or others.
Of course, it is not practical or possible to warn you about all the
hazards associated with operating or maintaining a lawn mower. You
must use your own good judgment.
You will find important safety information in a variety of forms
including:
•Safety Labels — on the lawn mower.
•Safety Messages — preceded by a safety alert symbol and
one of three signal words: DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION.
These signal words mean:
•Safety Headings —
such as IMPORTANT SAFETY REMINDERS or
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS.
•Safety Chapter — such as LAWN MOWER SAFETY.
•Instructions — how to use this mower correctly and safely.
This entire book is filled with important safety information — please
read it carefully.
DANGER You WILL be KILLED or SERIOUSLY HURT if you don't follow instructions.
WARNING You CAN be KILLED or SERIOUSLY HURT if you don't follow instructions.
