A FEW WORDS ABOUT SAFETY
Your safety, and the safety of others, is very important. And using this 
lawn mower safely is an important responsibility.
To help you make informed decisions about safety, we have provided 
operating procedures and other information on labels and in this 
manual. This information alerts you to potential hazards that could hurt 
you or others. 
Of course, it is not practical or possible to warn you about all the 
hazards associated with operating or maintaining a lawn mower. You 
must use your own good judgment.
You will find important safety information in a variety of forms including:
• Safety Labels — on the lawn mower.
• Safety Messages — preceded by a safety alert 
! symbol and one 
of three signal words: DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION.
These signal words mean:
• Safety Headings — such as IMPORTANT SAFETY REMINDERS or 
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS.
• Safety Chapter — such as LAWN MOWER SAFETY.
• Instructions — how to use this mower correctly and safely.
This entire book is filled with important safety information — please 
read it carefully.
