6.10 NEVER over cut, instead cut short lengths then cut successively lower heights.
6.11 Trim around trees carefully, this will prevent damage to the tree and tree bark.
6.12 Move around the tree in a clockwise direction. Approach grass/weeds with the
tip of the cutting blade.
6.13 Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating blade.
6.14 Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling or the rotating blade which in turn causes
the uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the direction opposite of the accessory's
rotation at the point of the binding.
6.15 Kickback is a result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or
conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions.
6.16 Maintain a firm grip on the machine and position your body and arm to allow you to
resist kickback forces.
6.17 ALWAYS use both hands on the handle bar for maximum control over kickback or
torque reaction during start up.
6.18 The operator can control torque reactions or kickback forces, if proper precautions
are taken.
6.19 NEVER place your hand near the rotating blade. The blade may kickback over your
hand.
6.20 DO NOT position your body in the area where the power tool will move if kickback
occurs.
Kickback will propel the tool in the direction opposite to the blades movement at the
point of snagging.
6.21 Use special care when working in corners.
6.22 Avoid bouncing and snagging the cutting head.
