IMPORTANT SAFETY MESSAGE FOR OWNERS/OPERATORS OF ROTARY CUTTERS
Rotary Cutter Manufacturer Product Council
Safety is a primary concern in the design, manufacture,
sale, and use of rotary cutters. As manufacturers of rotary
cutters, we want to confirm to you, our customers, our
concern for safety. We also want to remind you about the
simple, basic, and common sense rules of safety when
using a rotary cutter. Failure to follow these rules can result
in severe injury or death to operators or bystanders.
It is essential that everyone involved in the assembly,
operation, transport, maintenance, and storage of this
equipment be aware, concerned, prudent, and properly
trained in safety. The majority of accidents involve
entanglement on the driveline or thrown objects. These
risks become greater when you do not use proper shielding
specified by the manufacturer.
Our current production machines include, as standard
equipment, guards or shields for drivelines and input shafts,
safety signs and operators manuals. If you have an older
machine which does not have current standard safety
equipment, please contact your dealer about bringing your
machine up to the current level of safety.
Below are some of the most important safety rules to be
understood and followed by anyone who works with rotary
cutters:
Before operating a rotary cutter, an operator must read and
understand all the information in the owner's manual and
in the safety signs attached to the product. A person who
has not read or understood the owner's manual and safety
signs is not qualified to operate the cutter. Accidents occur
often on machines that are loaned or rented to someone

SAFETY
who has not read the owner's manual and is not familiar with
a rotary cutter. If you do not have an owner's manual or
current production safety signs, contact the manufacturer or
your dealer immediately.
Rotary cutters are designed for one-man operation. Never
operate the cutter with anyone near, or in contact with, any
part of the implement or PTO driveline. Be sure no one else,
including bystanders, is near you when you operate this
product
If operation of a rotary cutter around bystanders, animals,
or property that may sustain damage (such as highway,
park, or airport) is absolutely necessary, use safety guarding
recommended by the manufacturer for thrown object
prevention.
Following these simple, basic safety rules, as well as others
identified in the owner's manual and in product safety signs,
will help minimize the possibility of accidents and increase
your productivity in using this product. Be careful and make
sure that everyone who operates the cutter knows and
understands that it is a very powerful piece of machinery,
and if used improperly, serious injury or death may result.
The final responsibility for safety rests with the operator of
this machine.
A safety manual for Rotary Cutters is available through
the FEMA office.
