Cutting With A Blade - BBT -BC-36CCBH Owner's Manual

Cutting with a Blade

WARNING
DO NOT TOUCH
THESE TYPES OF OBJECTS WITH BLADE
WARNING
DO NOT cut with a dull, cracked or damaged
metal blade. Before cutting growth, inspect
for obstructions such as boulders, metal stakes
or strands of wire from broken fences. If an
obstruction cannot be removed, mark its location
so that you can avoid it with the blade. Rocks and
metal will dull or damage a blade. Wires can catch
on the blade head and flap around or be thrown
into the air.
Scything Weeds
This is cutting by swinging the blade in a level arc.
It can quickly clear areas of field grass and weeds.
Scything should not be used to cut large, tough weeds
or woody growths.
NOTE: DO NOT use a brush blade to cut trees
which exceed a diameter of 1/2 to 3/4 inches.
Scything can be done in both directions, or just one
way which results in the debris being thrown away
from you.
NOTE: You will be hit by some debris if you scythe
in both directions.
