    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. As with all power equipment, lawn mowers, and cutters can be potentially dangerous if improperly used.
  • Page 4 • Turn off the blades when not cutting. Before leaving the machine, turn off the blades and stop the engine. • Watch for traffic when operating near or crossing roadways. • Do not operate the cutter if it has been dropped or damaged in any manner or if the mower vibrates excessively.
  • 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 mower produces sound waves that are damaging to the human ear.

  • Page 7 When offsetting the cutter do so to the side opposite the discharge of the tow vehicle. • Swisher recommends if the tow vehicle is equipped with a mid-mount mower to overlap the cut approximately 6”.
