Install Chain Shielding
Full chain shielding must be installed when operating in populated
areas or other areas where thrown objects could injure people or damage
property.

If this machine is not equipped with full chain shielding, operation
must be stopped when anyone comes within 300 feet (92 m).

This shielding is designed to reduce the risk of thrown objects.

from escaping the blade enclosure in every mowing condition. It is
possible for objects to ricochet and escape, traveling as much as 300
feet (92 m).
