IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Wear eye protection when operating
or servicing this tool.
Failure to wear eye protection can
result in serious eye injury from
flying debris or hydraulic oil.
• Keep all parts of the body away from the cutter
head when the tool is connected to a power
source.
• Do not dress the blade or inspect, adjust or clean
tool when it is connected to a power source.
Accidental start-up can result in serious injury.
• Inspect the blade every operating day. Remove
and destroy the blade if cracks, chips or gouges
are evident. A damaged blade can break and
strike nearby personnel.
• Maintain a firm grip on tool, using both hands at
all times. Serious injury can result if an operator
does not control the tool.
• Do not lock the trigger in the Power-ON position.
Operator cannot stop tool when trigger is locked.
• Wear protective gloves when handling, sharpen-
ing or adjusting the blade. The blade can cut even
when stationary.
Failure to observe these warnings can result in
severe injury or death.
Do not disconnect tool, hoses or fittings while the
power source is running or if the hydraulic fluid is
hot. Hot hydraulic fluid can cause serious burns.
Do not reverse hydraulic flow. Operation with
hydraulic flow reversed can cause tool malfunction.
Connect the pressure hose and tank hose to the
proper ports.
