New safety guidance from the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute warns that children should not operate mowing equipment or be nearby while adults mow. Homeowners are advised to clear yards of toys and small objects, read the manual, keep feet away from blades, avoid accidental starting, and push the mower rather than pull.
