INSTRUCTIONS
FOR
BRUSHCUTTER
ATTACHMENT
• Blade Thrust is a reaction that only
occurs when using a bladed unit. This
reaction can cause serious injury such
as amputation.
Carefully study this
section. It is important that you under-
stand what causes blade thrust, how
you can reduce the chance of its oc-
curring, and how you can remain in
control of unit if blade thrust occurs.
• WHAT CAUSES BLADE THRUST
-
Blade Thrust can occur when spin-
ning blade contacts an object that it
does not cut. This contact causes
blade to stop for an instant and then
suddenly move or "thrust" away from
object that was hit. The "thrusting" re-
action can be violent enough to cause
operator to be propelled in any direc-
tion and lose control of unit. The un-
controlled unit can cause serious injury
if blade contacts operator or others.
