Rear Guard Assembly

DANGER
To avoid serious injury or death:
•
Rotary Cutters have the ability to discharge objects at
high speeds; therefore, the use of front and rear safety
guards is mandatory with this cutter. Stop blade
rotation if a bystander is in or around the area.
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.
