(Original instructions)
Keep blades sharp. Always use protec-
u
tive gloves when handling the lawn-
mower blade.
If you are using the grass collector,
u
check it frequently for wear and dete-
rioration. If excessively worn, replace
with a new grass collector for your
safety.
Use extreme caution when reversing
u
or pulling the lawnmower towards you.
Do not put hands or feet near or under
u
the lawnmower. Keep clear of the
discharger opening at all times.
Clear the area where the lawnmower
u
is to be used of objects such as rocks,
sticks, wire, toys, bones etc., which
could be thrown by the blade. Objects
struck by the blade can cause severe
injury to persons. Stay behind the
handle when the motor is running.
Do not operate the lawnmower bare-
u
footed or while wearing sandals.
Always wear substantial footwear.
Do not pull lawnmower backward un-
u
less absolutely necessary. Always look

Never direct discharged material
u
toward anyone. Avoid discharging
material against a wall or obstruction.
Material may ricochet back toward the
operator. Release the bail bar to turn
the lawnmower off and stop the blade
when crossing gravel surfaces.
