The operator can lose control of the unit and the blade can cause serious injury to the operator or any person in the vicinity if the blade comes into contact with any part of the body. 2. How to reduce the risk of blade thrust: (1) B e aware that blade thrust can occur. Understanding and being aware of the rebound can eliminate the element of surprise. (2) O nly cut fibrous weeds and grass. Do not allow the blade to come into contact with material that it cannot cut, such as vines and hard woody weeds or rocks, fences, metal, etc. (3) B e prepared for blade thrust if you need to cut in an area where you cannot see the blade working, such as areas of dense growth. (4) K eep the blade sharp. A blunt blade increases the risk of blade thrust.
