The operation of any lawn mower can result in foreign objects thrown in the eyes, which can result in severe eye
damage. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields before starting your lawn mower and while mowing. We recom-
mend standard safety glasses or a wide vision safety mask worn over the spectacles or standard safety glasses,
available at Sears Stores.
