Rotary Cutter Manufacturer Product Council

rotary cutters. As manufacturers of rotary cutters, we want to confi rm 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
specifi ed 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

Accidents occur often on machines that are loaned or rented to someone

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 (such as chain guards).
Following these simple, basic safety rules, as well as others identifi ed
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 fi nal
responsibility for safety rests with the operator of this machine.
