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 recommend
a wide vision safety mask
over spectacles
or standard safety
