There'll be no accidents—only smooth performance—if you master a few simple rules / Is Your Power Mower Safe with You?

There'll be no accidents—only smooth performance—if you master a few simple rules Is Your Power Mower Safe with You? WHEN YOU ROLL your power mower out on your lawn, do you look upon the machine as friend or foe? It's a nice feeling to know that you aren't going to strain your back with an old-fashioned, man-powered mower which, even after you put in a couple of sweaty hours, still didn't give you a trim lawn. But it's certainly true that, with all that power in your hands, a power mower that's mishandled can mean trouble. Painful and sometimes tragic accidents do happen, with many a mangled toe and bruised shin as evidence. They needn't happen to you. At the request of the power-mower manufacturers, the American Standards Association has studied all conceivable sources of mishaps, and devised rules to prevent them. The tips that follow apply to all standard power mowers. Follow them and your mower will be the best friend your lawn ever had: Getting Ready to Use 1. Before starting work, clear your whole lawn area of any debris that could catch onto or be thrown by the blade. 2. Plan your cutting route so it won't be necessary for you to pull your mower back toward you, particularly on a downgrade. 3. When you mow on rough ground or in high grass or weeds, set the blade at the highest cutting point to keep down the amount of debris thrown by the mower. 4. Mow only during daylight, unless you have very good artificial light. 5. Don't operate a power mower in wet grass, which may clog the mower and may also increase the danger of your slipping and falling and thus possibly coming in contact with the blade. 6. Be sure to put the mower guards into place before starting. 7. Fill a gasoline-driven mower outdoors. Avoid spilling gasoline. Don't fill the tank while the engine is running or while you're smoking. 8. Check an electric power mower to see that the cord is good. Avoid mowing over wet ground. 9. Don't mow when you're barefoot or wearing open sandals. Wear long, heavy denim trousers and brogues. If you have safety shoes, wear them. ILLUSTRATIONS BY JOHN HUEHNERGARTH Suburbia Today, May 1962 34
