Understand Your Equipment

Before you make a single cut, familiarize yourself with the operating manual. Specific instructions about safe use, as well as maintenance requirements and potential hazards of your mower model, can be found here.

Wear The Right Clothing

Proper attire is crucial for lawn mower operation. Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes with slip-resistant soles to protect your feet and maintain grip. Long pants, gloves, and safety glasses are also recommended.

Inspect The Mowing Area

Ensure the area is free of rocks and other debris before mowing. These items could turn into dangerous projectiles if hit by the mower blades.

Handle Fuel Safely

Refuel your mower only when the engine is cool to avoid the risk of ignition. Store gasoline in approved containers away from children secured properly to minimize any chance of spills.

Operate With Caution

Never mow wet grass as it increases the risk of slipping or clogging the mower. Keep children and pets inside while mowing to prevent accidents.
