to be towed behind. A good rule of thumb is “too young to drive equals too young to mow,” Kronen said. “Children should never operate a lawnmower until at least the age of 16, when he or she can demonstrate adequate strength, coordination and judgment,” he said. “Even then, direct parent supervision is required.” Safety guidelines include: Review the operator manual before using the equipment. Most importantly know how to quickly stop the lawnmower in an emergency situation. Don’t wear sandals or opentoed shoes when using a lawn mower. Never remove safety shields and guards or emergency shutoff mechanisms. Debris removal should only be done after the lawnmower’s motor is turned off. This should always be done with a broom or stick handle not with hands, because lawnmower blades are sharp even when not moving. When repairing, remove the spark plugs to prevent accidental powering of the mower.
Never allow passengers, other than you, the operator, on riding mowers. Never consume alcohol beverages before or during operation as this leads to impaired judgment leading to serious injury. Always clear potential objects from the area which may either clog the mower or have the potential to be projectiles. Dress appropriately. Always wear goggles, gloves and protective boots. Wear long pants. Push mowers: mowing should be done across a slope and not up and down. Always walk behind a push mower. Riding mowers: mowing should be done up and down a slope and not across, because the riding mower can tip over and discharge the operator. Always check behind you before going in reverse. Never cut grass when it is damp or wet, because the chute can become clogged. Never leave a running mower unattended. Children should be kept indoors and away from lawnmowers of any type while being utilized.
