ping and falling which may result in personal
injury.
q) Keep all parts of the body away from the cut-
ter, line or blade when the machine is operat-
ing. Before you start the machine, make sure
the cutter, line or blade is not contacting any-
thing. A moment of inattention while operat-
ing the machine may result in injury to your-
self or others.
r) Do not operate the machine above waist
height. This helps prevent unintended cutter
or blade contact and enables better control
of the machine in unexpected situations.
s) When cutting brush or saplings that are
under tension, be alert for spring back. When
the tension in the wood fibres is released,
the brush or sapling may strike the operator
and/or throw the machine out of control.
Use extreme caution when cutting brush and
t)
saplings. The slender material may catch the
blade and be whipped toward you or pull you
off balance.
u) Maintain control of the machine and do not
touch cutters, lines or blades and other haz-
ardous moving parts while they are still in
motion. This reduces the risk of injury from
moving parts.
v) Carry the machine with the machine
switched off and away from your body.
Proper handling of the machine will reduce
the likelihood of accidental contact with a
moving cutter, line or blade.
w) When transporting or storing the machine,
always fit the cover on metal blades. Proper
handling of the machine will reduce the likeli-
hood of accidental contact with the blade.
x) Only use replacement cutters, lines, cutting
heads and blades specified by the manufac-
turer. Incorrect replacement parts may
increase the risk of breakage and injury.
y) When clearing jammed material or servicing
the machine, make sure the switch is off and
the battery pack is removed. Unexpected
starting of the machine while clearing jam-
med material or servicing may result in seri-
ous personal injury.
27.9 Blade thrust related warnings
Blade thrust is a sudden sideways, forward or
backward motion of the machine, which may
occur when the blade jams or catches on an
object such as a sapling or a tree stump. It can

be violent enough to cause the machine and/or
operator to be propelled in any direction, and
possibly lose control of the machine.
Blade thrust and its related hazards can be avoi-
ded by taking proper precautions as given below.
a) Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the
machine and position your arms to resist
blade thrust. Position your body to the left
side of the machine. Blade thrust can
increase the risk of injury due to the machine
moving unexpectedly. Blade thrust can be
controlled by the operator if proper precau-
tions are taken.
b) If the blade binds, or when interrupting a cut
for any reason, switch the machine off and
hold the machine motionless in the material
until the blade comes to a complete stop.
While the blade is binding, never attempt to
remove the machine from the material or pull
the machine backward while the blade is in
motion, otherwise blade thrust may occur.
Investigate and take corrective actions to
eliminate the cause of blade binding.
c) Thoroughly inspect the area where the
machine is to be used and remove all
stones, sticks, wires, bones, and other for-
eign objects. Blunt or damaged blades
increase the risk of jamming or catching on
an object, resulting in blade thrust.
d) Always maintain good visibility of the mate-
rial being cut. Blade thrust is more likely to
occur in areas where it is difficult to see the
material being cut.
e) If you are approached by another person
while operating the machine, switch the
machine off. There is an increased risk of
injury to other persons being struck by the
moving blade in the event of blade thrust.
