accessories and attachments are needed to
properly and safely perform the job.
Only use accessories and attachments
approved by the manufacturer.

footwear, long trousers, hard hat, safety
glasses, mask, and ear protection.
Long hair, loose clothing, or jewelry may get
tangled in moving parts.
Do not operate the equipment when barefoot
or wearing open sandals.

be used and remove all objects such as
rocks, toys and wire which can be thrown by

are not worn or damaged.
When some vertical blades are worn or
damaged, replace all the installed vertical
