Get to Know Your Lawn Mower

First of all, you need to get to know your lawn mower. After all, how do you expect to stay safe while you ride it if you don't even know how it operates or how you should maintain it? To learn more about it, it is highly suggested that you read your owner's manual thoroughly. Keep in mind that while your lawn mower has a small engine, it's still is a complex machine that could be dangerous, so don't neglect this step. ;

Have Common Sense

Do you think it is a good idea to ride your lawn mower while you're drunk or high? How about letting children drive it around? Would you be looking at your phone while you're mowing the lawn? Should you leave the lawn mower on and unattended? If you answered 'yes' to any of these questions, then you're probably better off not using your lawn mower at all. This is because, reckless behavior can lead to accidents when you mow your lawn. Have and use your common sense to keep your and other people's safety intact. ;

Take Proper Care of It

As mentioned above, it's important that you understand that even though your lawn mower has a smaller engine, it's still a vehicle and a complex machine. That's why, like with any other vehicle, you should make sure that it's in mint condition at all times, to ensure that a malfunction won't put you or others in peril. This includes taking it to a professional mechanic with some regularity, and noticing any issues it may have, so you can fix them promptly and keep it working perfectly for longer. ;

Mind What You're Wearing

Something that you may not think about, but that could have a big impact in your safety while riding the lawn, is what you're wearing. This is because, wearing the wrong items could get you into trouble. To stay safe, you first need to wear a pair of sturdy closed-toe shoes. It's also strongly advised that you avoid loose or long clothing, since the fabric could get caught in the mechanism. Lastly, if you'll be working on your lawn during a sunny day, remember to wear sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat, to keep your skin safe from the intense rays. ;

Keep Children Safe

Of course, you'll want to take some extra measures to keep your children safe while you're mowing the lawn. This is because children are curious and playful, and they may be intrigued by the vehicle. This could lead to accidents. To keep everybody safe, you firstly need to ensure children aren't present while you're mowing the lawn. Needless to say, you should also keep them from riding (and obviously, driving) the lawn mower. You should also watch out where they stick their tiny hands, so they don't end up touching the mower's blades. ;

Inspect the Area You'll Be Mowing

As it is to be expected, your lawn may have rocks, twigs, and other items laying around it. That's why you need to inspect the area before you start mowing, since one of those objects could get caught by the mower's mechanism, damaging it, or it could get thrown out aggressively. To prevent a dire situation, remove any of those items from your lawn before you start working on it. ;

Remove Stuck Items Carefully

Lastly, if upon mowing your lawn, something does get stuck in the lawn mower's mechanism, you will need to remove it with great care, to avoid injuries as much as possible. To that end, you firstly need to turn the lawn mower off. This is a very important step, as you could end up seriously hurt if you're not careful. Other than that, it is suggested that you avoid touching the blades. If you can, try to reach for the object with another tools, so you don't cut your hands. ;
