Chain Safety Guards (Optional)

!

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 along highways or in
areas where people may be present.

!

WARNING

Not all objects will be stopped by safety guards. Therefore, use
extreme caution when cutting in areas where people may be
present. It is best to operate the cutter when no one is nearby.
Stop blade rotation if someone is within several hundred feet.
