DANGER
Rotary Cutters have the ability to discharge objects at
high speeds; therefore, the use of front and rear safety
guards is strongly recommended when cutting along
highways or in areas where people may be present.
!
WARNING
Not all objects will be stopped by safety guards.
Therefore, use extreme caution when cutting in areas
where people may be present. It is best to operate the
cutter when no one is near-by. Stop blade rotation if
someone is within several hundred feet!
!
DANGER
Do not operator cutter without a rear guard. Do not
remove rear metal guard unless it is replaced by a Land
Pride chain guard. Serious body injury or loss of life can
result without a rear guard.

be removed before the rear chain guard option can
be installed.
