Safety Guard
!
DANGER
Rotary Cutters have the ability to discharge objects at high
speeds; therefore, the use of front and rear safety guards is
strongly recommended when cutting. Specifically, double row
chain guards should be used along highways and in areas
where people may be present.
!
DANGER
Safety shields will not stop all objects. Use extreme caution
when cutting in public areas. Stop blade rotation if bystanders
come within several hundred feet.
Great Plains offers three types of safety guards to best
suit your application: rubber skirt guards, single row
chain guards, and double row chain guards.
•
Rubber skirt guards are designed for light duty
applications.
•
Single row chain guards are constructed with a single
row of hanging chain links. They can withstand harsher
applications than rubber skirts.
•
Double row chain guards are constructed with two
staggered rows of hanging chain links. The second row
provides an additional barrier for stopping thrown
objects.
