Blade Safety

•
A worn or damaged blade or bedknife can break,
and a piece could be thrown toward you or
bystanders, resulting in serious personal injury or
death.
•
Inspect the cutting units periodically for excessive
wear or damage.
•
Use care when checking the cutting units. Wrap
the blades or wear gloves, and use caution when
servicing the reels and bedknives. Only replace or
sharpen the reels and bedknives; never straighten
or weld them.
•
On machines with multiple cutting units, take care
when rotating a reel; it can cause the reels in the
other cutting units to rotate.
