OPERATION

The operation of any snow thrower 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 snow thrower or performing any adjust- ments or repairs. We recommend standard safety glasses

or a wide vision safety mask worn over spectacles.
