Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. The blade turns when the
engine is running.

BEFORE USING YOUR LAWN MOWER, AGAIN REFER TO THE "SAFETY RULES" AS SHOWN ON PAGE
2 OF THIS MANUAL. ALWAYS BE CAREFUL.
The operation of any lawn mower can result in foreign objects being thrown into the
eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields
before starting power tool operation or while performing any adjustments or repairs.
We recommend Wide Vision Safety Mask for over spectacles or standard glasses
available at Sears Retail or Catalog Stores.
