Operating Tips

General Tips
Review the safety instructions and read this manual
carefully before operating the lawn mower.
Clear the area of sticks, stones, wire, branches, and
other debris which could be picked up or hit by the
blade and become thrown objects.
Keep everyone, especially children and pets, away
from the area of operation.
Avoid striking trees, walls, curbs, or other solid
objects. Never deliberately mow over any object.
If the lawn mower strikes an object or starts to vibrate,
immediately stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug
wire, and examine the lawn mower for damage.
