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 over spectacles.
