Preparation
1. While operating the mower, always wear sub-
stantial footwear and long trousers. Do not
operate the mower when barefoot or wearing
open sandals. Avoid wearing clothing or jew-
elry that is loose fitting or that has hanging
cords or ties. They can be caught in moving
parts.
2. Before use, always visually inspect the mower
for damaged, missing or misplaced guards or
shields.
3. Be sure the area is clear of other people before
mowing. Stop mower if anyone enters the area.
4. Do not insert the lock key into mower until it is
ready to be used.
5. Always wear protective goggles to protect
your eyes from injury when using power tools.
The goggles must comply with ANSI Z87.1 in
the USA, EN 166 in Europe, or AS/NZS 1336
in Australia/New Zealand. In Australia/New
Zealand, it is legally required to wear a face
shield to protect your face, too.
It is an employer's responsibility to enforce
the use of appropriate safety protective equip-
ments by the tool operators and by other per-
sons in the immediate working area.
6. Check the blades or blade bolts carefully for
cracks or damage before operation. Replace
cracked or damaged blades or blade bolts
immediately.
7. Remove foreign matters such as rocks, wire,
bottles, bones and large sticks from the work
area before mowing to prevent personal injury
or damage to the mower.
Objects struck by the mower blade can cause
8.
severe injuries to persons. The lawn should
always be carefully examined and cleared of
all objects prior to each mowing.
Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other
9.
hidden objects. Uneven terrain could cause a slip
and fall accident. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
10. Do not insert or remove the lock key in the
rain.
11. Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment such
as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
