As machines are made of moving parts, wearing loose clothes, jewelry, or loosely tied hair may be caught by one of the moving parts leading to bodily harm. Never become complacent with the usage of the machine and ignore safety measures to keep away from injuries.

Machine Use & Care

Identify mostly worn out and have spares ready. In case of breakdowns, let a professional fix them to avoid errors.

Conclusion

The most significant responsibility on the shoulder of the machine operator is to ensure that preventable accidents are preventable by all means. By observing the simple rules and guidelines, these accidents shall be a thing of the past. Feed choppers come in 3 types, handheld, diesel, and electricity, and the variety is there to give the customer an option to buy as per needs and requirements.
