PREFACE
To work in safety you must:
Apply the general precautions for the use of all mechanical means as set out in Chap. 3;
Always follow the instructions for use given in the USE and MAINTENANCE manual or, in the case of particularly complex equi-
pment, follow specific courses offered by manufacturers, dealers, technical assistants, etc.;
Do not remove, tamper with or modify any part of the machine if this is not contemplated in the use and maintenance ma-
nual;
Repair or replace the guards and any worn or broken parts following the indications given in the use and maintenance ma-
nual;
Ensure that the safety decals showing the warning signals are kept in good condition;
Carry out maintenance on the machine according to the instructions given in the use and maintenance manual;
Check that the safety regulations required by law are respected and, if they are not, apply to specialised technical personnel
(manufacturers, dealers, technical assistants, etc.).
Keep all the guards in perfect working order.
IMPORTANT WARNING:
All the technical precautions, as regards safety against thrown objects, adopted in the design
of machines (at the present state of the art they are the same for all manufacturers) do not
allow absolute safety to be achieved.
There unfortunately remains a residual risk that cannot be eliminated and which, besides
depending on the probabilistic nature of the trajectory of the cut material, is inherent to the
particular nature of operation of the machines.
So it may happen that, even during appropriate use of the machine, small stones, chips or
other material may escape the protective barriers and be thrown far away.
It is therefore absolutely obligatory that there be NO ONE IN THE RANGE OF ACTION OF
THE MACHINE (AT LEAST 50 YARDS) DURING ITS OPERATION.
In particular, it is recommended to take great care when working near roads and/or buil-
dings.
WARNING
CAUTION
Before assembling any machine with electric/electro-hydraulic controls and/or heat exchanger on the
tractor YOU MUST read the assembly instructions on the electrical connections.
Failure to observe the said instructions faithfully may result in considerable damage to the electrical sy-
stem, thereby invalidating the warranty of the same.

2 TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS
2.1 General description of the machine
The CUTTER BAR, of TR and TRM series, has been designed, built and protected for use exclusively in the agricultural sector (for
contraindications of use see paragraph 2.1.2). In the design and construction, all the necessary measures were taken to give a
high-quality, reliable product, fully complying with the regulations in force and particular with accident prevention.
The manufacturer has designed this implement to be used with all its safety equipment properly attached to minimize the chance
of accidents.
2.1.1 Intended uses
The machine was designed, constructed, and provided with protective devices to be used exclusively in the agricultural sector
for the cutting and pruning of hedges, bushes, and tree branches to a maximum diameter of 8 cm (TR series) or 5 cm (TRM
series).
The machine is applied to the end of a jointed arm (mounted on a tractor, triad, loading shovel, excavator, etc, referred to from
now on simply as “tractor”) by adjusting the field of work using a hydraulic ram positioned on the arm itself. These machines are
constructed from a structure in which the working element is formed by 2 appropriately shaped blades - one fixed stationary to
the frame and the other movable – that create shearing movement.
The machine is not indicated for use in sectors other than agriculture and road maintenance.
The machine must be used by only one operator
Any use other than that specied is considered improper
WARNING
FERRI srl declines all responsibility if the safety decals supplied with the machine are missing, illegible or shifted from their original
position.
If any decal is damaged or missing, you must ask to be sent a new one, quoting the machine identification data given on the
data plate.
This machine is usually used in daytime.
In conditions of reduced visibility, the tractor’s lighting system must be used.
If exceptional night-time use is required, an auxiliary lighting system must be provided in order to guarantee good visibility in the
whole work area without dangerous reflections for the operator, in addition to sufficient lighting in the cabin in order to guarantee
identification of the controls.
2.1.2 Contraindications
The principal contraindication for use of the CUTTER BAR are listed below:
make sure that the bushes are free from any and all metallic material such as bits of fencing, cable, pipe, chain, etc.;
make sure that there are no tree stubs or anything else of dimensions greater than ø 10 cm between the bushes;
carefully observe and apply the instructions for regulating the ground clearance of the machine, and always ensure that there
are no other people within 50 metres of the working radius of the machine;

TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS
2.4 Noise
The noise level produced is checked on all the models of machines produced by FERRI srl.
The noise values indicated are emission levels and do not necessarily represent safe operational levels.
Despite the existence of a relationship between emission levels and exposure levels, it cannot be accurately used to establish
whether further precautions are required or not.
The factors which determine the exposure level which the work force is subject to, include the duration of exposure, the characte-
ristics of the work environment and other sources of noise (number of machines, nearby activities etc).
Furthermore, the permitted exposure levels can vary from one country to another.
However, the information on the level of noise produced by the machine will help the machine user to assess the dangers and
risks.
The noise level measured at the operator’s ear is between 75 dB and 78,5 dB with the cab
closed and between 82.9 and 84.4 dB with the rear glass of the cab open.
The acoustic power level is LWA 102,5. At a noise level perceived by the ear higher than 85
dB it is recommended to use personal protection equipment.
Noise over 85dB over an exended period of time will cause severe hearing loss.
Noise over 90dB adjacent to the Operator over an extended period of time will cause per-
manent or total hearing loss.
According to the data measured in the various positions examined, in the absence of a soun-
dproofed cab it is recommended to use personal hearing protection equipment.
