LAWN MOWING
  • Before you mow, clear the yard of rocks, sticks and anything else the mower might fling.
  • Wait for grass to dry before mowing. Wet grass might make you slip or clog the mower chute.
  • Clear a clogged chute using a stick--never with your hands -- with the mower off.
  • With a riding mower, mow up and down the slope so you are less likely to tip over.
  • Never leave a running mower unattended.
  • Keep kids and pets away while you are mowing.
  • Never refuel a hot mower.
  • Never mow in bare feet or sandals.
  • Wear heavy-duty shoes or boots with non-slip soles.
  • Avoid wearing loose clothing that could get caught in the machine.
