THE CLOTHMAKEH Power MowerHandle With Respect The family power mower can be a friend or enemy ? depending on how you use it. Last year there were more than 70,000 lawn mower accidents. The toll of injuries from home mowers continues to climb higher each year. Ofttimes we fail to recognize how powerful ? and potentially dangerous ? our home mowers can be. Respet 1 for the hazards of an 18-inch rotary mower is not hard to come by when you consider the blade turns at 2,500 revolutions per minute. Rocks, clothes pins, nails, wire, etc. become flying missiles traveling at 120 miles per hour when picked up by the blade tip, which is traveling at a speed slightly in excess of two miles per minute. Accidents Can Be Prevented But with a little care accidents can be prevented. Clemson Extension Agricultural it* i_ tt ?tj ? ^ngiiieei rrariK neaaen says. "Most power accidents are due to carelessness or lack of knowledge on the part of the operator." Hedden makes these suggestions for safe operation of power lawn mowers: 1. Before mowing, pick up wire, toys, metal objects, rocks, bones, and other debris in the yard. 2. Be thoroughly familiar with how to operate your mower. If you haven't read the operator's manual, take time to do so. And follow the manufacturer's instructions. 3. Don't tilt the mower when in operation.

It is possible to start the engine with the mower blade ? especially if the engine is hot. 4. Get children out of yard before mowing. 5. Keep the blade sharp to allow slower motor speed. Objects picked up by the slower blade will have less velocity. 6.
