sult in foreign objects being thrown into the

age. Always wear safety glasses or eye
shields while operating the snow thrower.
We recommend standard safety glasses or
a wide vision safety mask for over your
glasses, available at Craftsman Retail
Stores or Service Centers.
L_ CAUTION: Read owner's manual

discharge toward bystanders. Release the
auger control bar and stop the engine
