7. Hard kickback
When using the brushcutter, an uncontrollable kickback may occur. This is the case when
trying to cut with the cutter tool in a segment between 12 o'clock and 2 o'clock. Never use the
brushcutter within a segment between 12 and 2 o'clock.
Never use the brushcutter to cut solid objects such as bushes, trees, etc. that have a diameter
greater than 3cm because it will be twisted with great force, and can cause very serious
injuries.
8. Prevention against sudden reversals
To avoid a hard kickback, be sure to do the following:
Operation with the cutting tool within a segment between 12 and 2 o'clock represents a certain risk, especially when using metallic
cutting elements.
Cutting operations with the cutting tool within a segment between 11 and 12 o'clock and between 2 and 5 o'clock should only be
carried out by trained and experienced persons, and even then only by your account and risk.
It is possible to cut with little risk of hard kickback with the cutting tool within a segment between 8 and 11 o'clock.
