Risk of Kickout (Blade Thrust) with Metal
Cutting Attachments
WARNING
When using metal cut-
ting attachments there is
a risk of kickout when the
rotating blade comes into
contact with a solid object
such as a tree trunk,
branch, tree stump, rock
or similar. The machine is
thrown to the right or to
the rear – opposite to the
attachment's direction of
rotation.
The risk of kickout is greatest when the
black area of the rotating cutting
attachment comes into contact with a
solid object.
Grass Cutting Blade
Use for grass and weeds only – sweep
the brushcutter in an arc like a scythe.
WARNING
Improper use may damage the grass
cutting blade – risk of injury from thrown
parts.
Resharpen the grass cutting blade
according to instructions when it has
dulled noticeably.
