Cutting Unit Safety
A worn or damaged cutting unit can break, and a
piece of a reel or bedknife could be thrown at you
or bystanders, resulting in serious personal injury or
death.
•
Inspect the cutting units periodically for wear or
damage.
•
Use care when checking the cutting units. Wrap
the blades or wear gloves, and use caution when
servicing the reels and bedknives. Only replace or
sharpen the reels and bedknives; never straighten
or weld them.
•
On multi-bladed machines, take care as rotating 1
reel can cause other blades to rotate.
