Using the grass-cutting blade

The 4-tooth grass cutting blade is
intended to cut grass and weeds.
It has 4 cutting knives with cutting edges
on both sides, i.e. front and rear.
The 8-tooth grass cutting blade is
recommended for cutting fern or reed.
Both blades have to be resharpened
when all cutting edges are dull.
Risk of "kickout" (blade thrust)
with all rigid cutting blades
!
Warning!
Kickout (blade thrust) is the sudden and
uncontrolled motion towards the
operator's right or rear that can occur
English / USA
when the shaded area of the rotating
blade comes in contact with a solid
object like a tree, rock, bush or wall.
The rapid counterclockwise rotation of
the blade may be stopped or slowed,
and the cutting attachment may be
thrown in an area to the right or to the
rear.
This kickout (blade thrust) may cause
loss of control of the brushcutter and
may result in serious or fatal injury to the
operator or bystanders. To reduce the
risk of injury, extreme caution should be
used when cutting with the shaded area
of any rigid blade.
