WARNING! Do not use your STANLEY mower to carry
passengers. Keep bystanders, helpers, children and
pets at a safe distance from the machine while it is in
operaon since rotang blades can throw rocks and
other items, causing serious injury. Check the area
before you begin mowing for stones, scks, wire, and
other foreign objects. These objects may become
projecles when struck by the mower.
WARNING! Wear protecve clothing while mowing.
Long pants and safety glasses help reduce the risk of
injury from thrown objects. Adequate footwear, such
as steel toe shoes with aggressive soles, is
recommended to help protect your feet and maintain
tracon on slopes or uneven grounds. Always wear

1. Walk around the mower and look for any uid
spills or leaks on or underneath the mower.
Remove any and all excessive debris, dirt, and
uids.
2. Look for signs of damage or excessive wear.
Check the ghtness of all nuts, bolts, pins and

Before operang the mower, replace any
guarding that is damaged or missing.
