inherently safe. In addition, there are these safety systems: 

.Before starting engine, you must turn "OFF" the cutter blade 

clutch switch. 

.An operator must be standing on the platform to engage the 

cutter blades (machines with pull start, you must cycle blade 

clutch switch "OFF" then "ON"). 

.Completely letting go of control levers will brake machine to 

instant stop.
