The operation of any lawn
mower can result in foreign
objects thrown into the eyes,
which can result in severe eye damage.
Always wear safety glasses or eye
shields while operating your lawn mower
or performing any adjustments or repairs.
We recommend a wide vision safety
mask over spectacles or standard safety
glasses.
ENGINE SPEED
The engine speed is controlled by a
throttle control located on the side of the
upper handle. Choke position is for
starting a cold engine and fast position
is for normal cutting, trimming, and better
grass bagging. Slow position is for light
cutting, trimming and fuel economy.
