Grass blades and grass cutters are used to cut
rough grass.
•
A grass blade can cause injury while it continues
to spin after the engine is stopped or the throttle
trigger is released. Make sure that the grass
blade has completely stopped rotating before any
maintenance.
•
Stop the engine before you do work on the cutting
attachment. Make sure the cutting attachment fully
stops. Disconnect the lead from the spark plug.
•
Only use an approved cutting attachment or a
correctly sharpened blade.
•
Keep the teeth of the blade correctly sharpened.
•
Do not use a damaged cutting attachment.
•
Attach the transport guard to the grass blade when
you transport or store the product.
Blade thrust
•
A blade thrust is a sudden movement of the product
to the side, forward or rearward. A blade thrust
occurs when the grass blade hits an object that
cannot be cut. In areas where it is not easy to
see the material being cut the risk of blade thrust
increases.
•
When a blade thrust occurs, there is a risk that the
product or the operator moves out of position. A
blade that moves can hit bystanders and there is a
risk of injuries.
•
If a blade is bent, has cracks, is broken or damaged,
discard the blade.
•
Use a sharp blade. The risk of blade thrust increases
when a blade is not sharp.
