Rear Safety Guards
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
required and should always be used when cutting along
roadways and in areas where bystanders are present. Stop
blade rotation if bystanders are in or around the area.
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.
