GENERAL INFORMATION
Some illustrations in this manual show the equipment with safety shields removed to provide a better view. This equipment should never be operated with any necessary safety shielding removed.
The purpose of this manual is to assist you in operating and maintaining your cutter. Read it carefully. It fur- nishes information and instructions that will help you achieve years of dependable performance. These instructions have been compiled from extensive field experience and engineering data. Some information may be general in nature due to unknown and varying
operating conditions. However, through experience and these instructions, you should be able to develop procedures suitable to your particular situation.
The illustrations and data used in this manual were cur- rent at the time of printing but, due to possible inline production changes, your machine may vary slightly in detail. We reserve the right to redesign and change the machines as may be necessary without notification.
Throughout this manual, references are made to right and left directions. These are determined by standing behind the equipment facing the direction of forward travel. Blade rotation is clockwise (left wing) and coun- terclockwise (right wing and center section) as viewed from the top of the cutter.
