Safety
Tragic accidents involving machinery operation, main-
tenance, and repair are normally caused by failure to
observe basic safety rules or precautions. A machine
designed for powerful benefit can become an even
more powerful setback when potentially hazardous
situations go unrecognized. RAYCO Manufacturing,
Inc. is greatly concerned with the safety of the opera-
tor, as well as all in the vicinity of his work. RAYCO
has provided shields, guards, safety decals and other
important safety features to aid in using the machine
properly. In order to further ensure your safety we ask
that you properly operate and service your stump
cutter.
