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 before starting your
mower and while mowing. Standard
safety glasses are recommended or
a wide vision safety mask for over
spectacles.
WARNING!
Engine exhaust, some of its
constituents, and certain vehicle
components contain or emit
chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer and birth
defects or other reproductive harm.
