OPERATING
YOUR
TRAILMOWER
The operation
of any mower can produce
foreign objects to be thrown into the
eyes, resulting
in severe eye damage.
Always wear certified
safety glasses or
wide-vision
safety goggles over spectacles
before starting any cutting machine
and
while operating
such a machine.
The operation
of any cutter produces
sound waves that are damaging
to the
human ear. Ear protection
is recommended.

CAUTION_
Tragic accidents
can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence
of
children.
Children
are often attracted
to the machine
and the mowing
activity.
Never assume
that children
will remain
where you last saw them.
