* Perform cutting work with caution to avoid to hurting people and animals and

damaging crops, buildings, automobiles, and other objects or structures with
stones or other object thrown by the machine.

* Perform cutting work only while travelling forward. Cutting while travelling

backward may cause damage to surrounding area due to thrown stones or
other objects.

* Drive the machine around obstacles on the left side of the machine to avoid

thrown material rebanding off objects and striking machine.

* Perform cutting work with cutter cover closed to prevent thrown material

from damaging the surrounding area. Apply the cutting blade clutch just
before starting cutting work. Always keep clutch in "STOP" position unless
performing cutting work.

* Avoid perform cutting work close to sides of ditches or banks, to prevent

machine turning over due to collapsing shoulders. Use extra care when
operating on ground affected by recent rainfall or earthquakes.

* Always check holes and obstacles in the working area before performing

cutting work. Use care when performing work near holes and obstacles.

* Avoid performing cutting work at an inclined area steeper than 25°.

* Avoid turning the machine on inclined areas to prevent operator imbalance.

* Avoid performing cutting work in slippery areas.

* Immediately replace broken cutting blades. Broken blades may unbalance the

rotary blade and cause vibrations and failure.
