[. . . ] FAILURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. GENERAL OPERATION • • • Read, understand and follow all instructions in the manual and on the machine before starting. Only allow responsible adults, who are familiar with the instructions, to operate the machine. Clear the area of objects such as rocks, stones, toys, wire etc. , which could be picked up and thrown by the blades. Be aware of the mower discharge direction and do not direct it towards anyone. [. . . ] Keep children out of the mowing area and under the watchful care of another responsible adult. They may fall off and be seriously injured or interfere with safe machine operation. Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure vision. The operation of any mower can result in foreign objects thrown into the eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields while operating your mower or performing any adjustments or repairs. We recommend a wide vision safety mask over spectacles or standard safety glasses. - Never store the machine or fuel container inside where there is an open flame, such as a water heater. Keep nuts and bolts, especially blade attachment bolts, tight and keep equipment in good condition. Grass catcher components are subject to wear, damage, and deterioration, which could expose moving parts or allow objects to be thrown. Frequently check components and replace with manufacturer’s recommended parts, when necessary. Wrap the blade(s) or wear gloves, and use extra caution when servicing them.
