WARNING: ALWAYS INSPECT AREA WHERE
MOWER IS TO BE USED AND REMOVE ALL STONES,
STICKS, WIRE, BONES, AND OTHER DEBRIS WHICH
MIGHT BE THROWN BY THE ROTATINGBLADE.

WARNING: Mow across the face of slopes, never
up‑and‑down. Exercise extreme caution when
changing direction on slopes. Do not mow excessively
steep slopes (greater than 15 degrees). Always
maintain goodfooting.

remove too much grass at one time. Slow down your cutting
pace, or raise the cutheight.
