Cutting Unit Safety

•
The cutting unit is only a complete machine when
installed on a traction unit. Read the traction
unit Operator's Manual carefully for complete
instructions on the safe use of the machine.
•
Stop the machine, remove the key (if equipped),
and wait for all movement to stop before inspecting
the attachment after striking an object or if there
is an abnormal vibration in the machine. Make all
necessary repairs before resuming operation.
•
Keep all parts in good working condition and all
hardware tightened. Replace all worn or damaged
decals.
•
Use only accessories, attachments, and
replacement parts approved by the manufacturer.

Blade Safety

A worn or damaged blade can break, and a piece of
the blade could be thrown toward you or bystanders,
resulting in serious personal injury or death.
•
Inspect the blade periodically for wear or damage.
•
Use care when checking the blades. Wrap the
blades or wear gloves, and use caution when
servicing the blades. Only replace or sharpen the
blades; never straighten or weld them.
•
On multi-bladed machines, take care as rotating 1
blade can cause other blades to rotate.
