The operation of any lawn mower can result in foreign objects being
thrown into the eyes, which can damage your eyes severely. Always
wear safety glasses while operating the mower, or while performing
any adjustments or repairs on it.
Be sure no one other than the operator is standing near the lawn
mower while starting engine or operating mower. Never run  engine
indoors or in enclosed, poorly ventilated areas. Engine  exhaust
contains carbon monoxide, an odorless and deadly  gas. Keep hands,
feet, hair, and loose clothing away from any moving parts

Use extreme care when handling gasoline. Gasoline is  extremely
flammable and the vapors are explosive. Never fuel machine indoors
or while the engine is hot or running. Extinguish  cigarettes, cigars,
pipes, and other sources of ignition.

however, you MUST check the oil level before operating. Oil should be
changed once after the first two hours of operation  and every 25 hours
of operation thereafter. Use the grade of engine oil specified  in the

Make sure to wipe off any spilled fuel before starting  the engine.
