Such objects could be accidentally thrown by the mower in any direction and cause serious personal injury to the operator and others. For a healthy lawn, always cut off one-third or less of the total length of the grass When cutting heavy grass, reduce walking speed to allow for more effective cutting and a proper discharge of the clippings.

Failure to heed this warning could result in serious personal injury. Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields during power tool operation or when blowing dust.
