Children

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the 

presence of children. Children are often attracted to the 

machine and the mowing activity. Never assume that children 

will remain where you last saw them. 

• 

Keep children out of the mowing area and under the 

watchful care of a responsible adult other than  

the operator.

•  Stay alert and turn the lawn mower off if a child enters 

 

the area.

• 

Never let children operate the machine.

• 

Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, 

trees, or other objects that may block your view of a child.

Service

• 

Keep all nuts and bolts tight.

• 

Never tamper with safety devices. Regularly check to 

ensure these devices are in place and in proper  

working order.

•  Keep the lawn mower free from grass, leaves, or other 

 

debris buildup.

• 

Never make any adjustments or repairs with the engine 

(motor) running. Always unplug electric lawn mowers 

before adjusting, cleaning, or repairing.

• 

Check the grass bag components and the discharge 

guard frequently and replace with manufacturer’s 

recommended parts when necessary.

• 

Mower blades are sharp. Wrap the blade or wear gloves, 

and use extra caution when servicing them.

• 

Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels,  

as necessary.
