Is it "legal" and "safe" for yard work?

It will depend on your state. Florida, Georgia, most western states should be no problem. If you live in the People's Republics of Maryland, Massachusetts, NY, NJ, Illinois or California... you might want to check it out. If my memory still works, these states and a couple of others restrict the ownership of swards, "ninja stars", brass knuckles, etc... So reasonably I'm betting an "unusual" axe like this could fall under some "unlawful weapon" law. Better to check now than find out at a "routine traffic stop"; and if you are legal you might get to educate the cop. It will depend on your state.

Yes it is legal and safe. Legal as long as you carry it in the open. Safe if you under stand it is quite sharp and keep a firm grip on it. I have mine mounted to the side of my back pack. Jimycee

It is legal. Probably not ideal for yard work except for maybe splitting small peices of wood.

"legal" is going to depend on where you live. far as "safe" if you use is properly it should perform as expected without worrying about structural failure.

It is manually operated so you have to use your body strength to mow depending upon what kind of grass you have, how high is the grass or how thick it is. If you have more than 200 Sq. Ft. of grass then it should be okay but more than that you have to use electric or motor operator lawn mower. Blades are sharp though.

It's safe. But not a good idea. If you want to put on grass. Place something beneath it like bricks or something. The heat from the pit will brown out your lawn if you don't protect it. Obviously if you put something down, don't forget to pick it back up after pit cools and you are done. Otherwise that will kill the lawn too.

The line is nylon, the motor is small, electric doesn't have enough tork to do that sort of damage. Even the heavy duty gasoline jobs the pro landscapers use don't cause damage. Now because of the power in an electric motor vs gas engine you do make one or two passes.as where the pros just blow right thru weeds, etc. besides there is an extra benefit... whacky weeds is a great stress reliever!

Yes, it is a safety feature. It's easy to accomplish, the Teho trimmers are very light and well balanced

if you are worried about theft, do not count on this for protection. I secure it to the ground and my back yard fence but do not have to worry about theft there. I would imagine a thief could just pick the whole thing up and take it if they were motivated. It also would be easy to cut into. It is not very big, but holds all of my yard tools and equipment nicely.

If it's wet outside then no way...short dry grass for short distances would probably be ok, but I would probably get a different tool if I was doing lots of this sort of thing.

not at all dangerous. when you relesae the trigger the saw comes to a stop. just don't try to cut real big branches. let the saw do the work, don't force the cut.

The paperwork says for outdoor use only, but I use it in my shed with no problem. To be safe, don't sleep with it on

It's not safe at all. I only used mine for a few minutes.. I regret buying it. I was trying to cut 1 - 1 1/2 inch diameter wood slices and the wood was flying everywhere.. twice the whole limb flew out of my hand all together because the saw blade was vibrating.. I was afraid the blade would fly off.. so I won't use it anymore.

No it is not safe for lawns unless you don't like your lawn. and it is hard to kill horsetail weed horsetail will die and slowly grow back.

Based on all that I have read it should be safe. I do not recall a warning for garden use. Ultimately, I think the manufacturer may be best suited to answer your question definitively.

Barbara, This lawn mower is not self-propelled. However, I don't have any problems with it doing my yard. It is kind of difficult to answer your question as I don't know what your physical capabilities are. This is definitely the lighter of the two larger models of GreenWorks mowers and it works great. I would say if the slope was not too great in your yard there shouldn't be a problem. I hope this was of some help.Nancy Winslow

Yes it is. I have an acre and a half with lots of trees. It reduces the amount of lawn and leaf bags you would normally use.

You would use it in addition to a rake. Best use is both hands to pickup yard debris, or on one hand to scope the debris into the bag. Really makes work easier, and I'm all for that!

Yes it is and it does a surprisingly good job, actually there is nothing to say you could not use it outside, but it is designed for inside use. ron

No. I purchased for my lawn, and when I reviewed the application instructions found out it is only for ornamental areas. I contacted the seller to return because of this, and they said it was also for yards and that I could contact Dow to verify. I contacted Dow and was told it is only for ornamentals, and that it is illegal to apply to lawns and could kill them. I returned the product.
