9. Blade

The 3-point blade is suitable for cutting brushwood and
small shrubs up to 2 cm in diameter. When the blade
becomes dull, it can be turned over to extend the life of
the blade. Do not sharpen the blade.
WARNING: Extreme care must be taken when
using blades to ensure safe operation. Read the
safety information for safe operation using the
blade, refer to"Specific Safety Rules for Brushcut-
ter and Blade Use" earlier in this manual.
• Always hold brushcutter with both hands when oper-
ating. Use a firm grip on both handles.
• Maintain your grip and balance on both feet. Position
yourself so that you will not be drawn off balance by
the kick-back reaction of the cutting blade.
