Front & Rear 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
mandatory with this cutter. 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.
•
Do not remove rear guard unless it is replaced by an
approved safety guard. Serious body injury or loss of life
can result without an approved rear guard.
!
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.
