What are the precautions for farmers when using a hay cutter

Precautions for using a hay cutter:

(1) When operating the grass cutter, safety protective equipment must be complete.

(2) Operators must fully understand the performance of the machine. It is strictly prohibited to operate the machine after drinking, when sick, or when excessively fatigued. During work, people and objects must not approach the rotating parts.

(3) Teenagers under the age of 16 and individuals who have not mastered the rules for using machinery are not allowed to work alone.

(4) The working area for the hay cutter should be spacious and equipped with fire-fighting equipment.

(5) When feeding grass, the operator should stand on the side of the feeding hopper, and it is strictly prohibited to put both hands into the protective cover of the feeding hopper. At the same time, strict precautions must be taken to prevent wooden sticks, metal objects, bricks, and stones from accidentally entering the machine, so as to avoid damaging the machine and injuring people.

(6) It is strictly prohibited to reverse the cutter head.

(7) The hay cutter must operate at the specified speed, and overspeed and overload operations are strictly prohibited.

(8) When replacing the fasteners for the moving and stationary blades, only Grade 8.8 bolts and Grade 8 nuts should be used, and it is prohibited to substitute them with lower-grade bolts and nuts.

(9) If any abnormal noise is detected during work, the machine should be stopped immediately for inspection. Prior to inspection, the power must be cut off, and it is prohibited to troubleshoot while the machine is running.

(10) The feeding amount of material should be appropriate. Too much can easily cause overload and stoppage. Of course, it cannot be too little either, as too little will affect the cutting efficiency.

(11) Before stopping work, first turn the shift lever to position 0 and let the machine idle for about 2 minutes to blow out the dust and weeds inside the machine before shutting it down.
