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.
