    Thank you for choosing Swisher’s 44” Trail Cutter. Before operating your cutter, please read, understand and follow all of the safety precautions and other instructions explained in this manual.

  • Page 5 OPERATING YOUR TRAIL CUTTER The operation of any mower can produce foreign objects to be thrown into the eyes, resulting in severe eye damage. Always wear certified safety glasses or wide-vision safety goggles over spectacles before starting any cutting machine and while operating such a machine. The operation of any cutter produces sound waves that are damaging to the human ear.
