Make sure there is adequate surrounding workspace. Cluttered areas invite injuries.
Keep your work area clean with sufficient light. Keep area around the lawnmower clear of
obstructions, stones, sticks, wires and other debris or foreign bodies which could cause damage to
the lawnmower.
INSPECT YOUR MACHINE
Check all bolts, nuts, and screws for tightness before each use, especially those securing guards and
drive mechanisms. Vibration during use may cause these to loosen.

caught in moving parts.

not be used on steep slopes and always be sure of footing.
AVOID INJURY FROM UNEXPECTED ACCIDENT
Keep hands out of the way of moving parts, particularly the cutting cylinder. Do not place any part of
your body or any tool. When operating, do not pass hands through the clearance between frame,
roller and cutting cylinder. The hardened steel blades are very sharp.
