OPERATION
The operation of any lawn
mower can result in foreign objects thrown into the
eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Always
wear safety glasses or eye shields while operating your lawn mower or performing any adjustments or repairs. We recom- mend standard safety glasses or a wide vision safety mask worn over spectacles.
