Know how to stop the engine quickly in emergencies. 3. Make sure your feet are safely away from the blade when starting the engine. 4. Wear sturdy shoes; never mow while barefooted. 5. Do not allow children or pets in the mowing area. 6. Never leave the mower unattended while the engine is running. 7. Never mow in an up-and-down direction on hills and banks. 8.
