◾
Dress properly – Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can be caught in
moving parts. Use of rubber gloves and footwear is recommended when working
outdoors. Wear sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and close-fitting slacks and
shirts. Shirts and pants that cover the arms and legs and steel-toed shoes are
recommended. Never operate this machine in bare feet, sandals, slippery or
lightweight (e.g., canvas) shoes.
◾
Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts or under the cutting deck. Contact with
the blade can amputate hands and feet.
◾
A missing or damaged discharge cover can cause blade contact or injuries from
thrown objects.
◾
Many injuries occur as a result of the mower being pulled over the foot during a
fall caused by slipping or tripping. Do not hold onto the mower if you are falling;
immediately release the handle.
◾
Never pull the mower back toward you while you are walking. If you must back the
mower away from a wall or obstruction, first look down and behind you to avoid
tripping, and then follow these steps:
◾
Step back from mower to fully extend your arms.
◾
Be sure you are well balanced with sure footing.
◾
Pull the mower back slowly, no more than half way toward you.
◾
Repeat these steps as needed.
◾
Do not operate the mower while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
◾
Stay alert – watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate the
lawn mower when you are tired.
◾
The motor/blade control handle is a safety device. Never attempt to bypass its
operation. Doing so makes the safety device inoperative and may result in personal
injury through contact with the rotating blade. The motor/blade control handle must
operate easily in both directions and automatically return to the disengaged position
when released.
◾
Avoid dangerous environments – Don't use lawn mowers in damp or wet locations
so as to avoid slipping and falling during operation.
◾
Always be sure of your footing. A slip and fall can cause serious personal injury.
If you feel you are losing your footing, release the motor/blade control handle
immediately and the blade will stop rotating within three seconds.
◾
Mow only in daylight or good artificial light. Walk, never run while operating.
