The operation of any lawn 

mower can result in foreign objects being 
thrown into the eyes, which can damage your 
eyes severely. Always wear safety glasses 
while operating the mower, or while performing 
any adjustments or repairs on it.

This blade control mechanism is 

a safety device. Never attempt to bypass its 
operations.
