Chain Safety Guards (Optional)
DANGER
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Rotary Cutters have the ability to discharge objects at high
speeds; therefore, the use of front & rear safety guards is
mandatory with this cutter. Double row chain guards should
be used when cutting along roadways and in areas where
people may be present. Stop blade rotation if bystanders are in
or around the area. It is recommended that a safety shield be
placed between the operator and cutter on an open air tractor.
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Keep all safety guards in place. Rotary Cutters have the
ability to discharge objects at high speeds. 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 in or around the area.
