OPERATING Personal protective equipment You must use approved personal protective equipment whenever you use the machine. Personal protective equipment cannot eliminate the risk of injury but it will reduce the degree of injury if an accident does happen. Ask your dealer for help in choosing the right equipment. Always wear: • Sturdy, non-slip boots or shoes. • Heavy, long pants. Do not wear shorts sandals or go barefoot. • Gloves must be worn when required, for example when fitting, inspecting or cleaning the blade. • Wear ear protectors to avoid damage to hearing. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss. • Always wear safety glasses or eye shields while operating your lawn mower or performing any adjustments or repairs. We recommend standard safety glasses or a wide vision safety mask over spectacles. General safety precautions This section describes basic safety directions for using the machine. This information is never a substitute for professional skills and experience. • Please read the operator's manual carefully and make sure you understand the instructions before using the machine. • Keep in mind that the operator is responsible for accidents or hazards occuring to other people or their property. • See manufacturer's instructions for proper operation and installation of accessories. Only use accessories approved by the manufacturer. • The machine must be kept clean. Signs and stickers must be fully legible. • Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as necessary. • Always disconnect the spark plug before performing maintenance or service. Children WARNING! Children can be seriously ! injured or killed by this equipment. Carefully read and follow all of the safety instructions below. CHILDREN CAN BE INJURED BY THIS EQUIPMENT. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children be a minimum of 12 year of age before operating a pedestrian controlled lawn mower and a minimum of 16 years of age before operating a riding lawn mower. Serious accidents may occur if you fail to be on your guard for children in the vicinity of the machine. Children are often attracted to the machine and mowing. Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them. • Keep an eye out and shut off the machine if children enter the work area. • Never use the machine if persons, especially children or pets, are in the immediate vicinity. • Before and during reversing procedures, look behind you and down for small children. 14 - English
