IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

• Keep all parts of the body away from the cutter
head when the tool is connected to a power
source.
• Do not dress the blade or inspect, adjust, or clean
tool when it is connected to a power source.
Accidental start-up can result in serious injury.
• Inspect the blade every operating day. Remove
and destroy the blade if cracks, chips, or gouges
are evident. A damaged blade can break and
strike nearby personnel.
• Maintain a firm grip on tool, using both hands at
all times. Serious injury can result if an operator
does not control the tool.
• Do not lock the trigger in the Power-ON position.
Operator cannot stop tool when trigger is locked.
• Wear protective gloves when handling,
sharpening, or adjusting the blade. The blade can
cut even when stationary.
Failure to observe these warnings can result in
severe injury or death.
Do not exceed the maximum hydraulic flow,
pressure relief, or back pressure listed in the
Specifications and Parts manual.
Failure to observe this warning can result in severe
injury or death.
Do not disconnect tool, hoses, or fittings while the
power source is running or if the hydraulic fluid is
hot. Hot hydraulic fluid can cause serious burns.
