• WHEN
BLADE THRUST
OCCURS -
Blade Thrust ca n occur withoutwarning if
the b_ede snags, etefls, or binds. This is
more likely to occur in areas where it is
difficult to see the material being cut. By
using the unit properly, the occurrence of
blade thrust will be reduced and the
operator will be less likely to lose control.
• Cut only grass,weeds, andwoody brush up
to 1/2 inch in diameter with the weed blede.
Do not let the blade contact materia_ it
cannot cut such as stumps, rocks, fences,
metal.,etc._ or clueters of hard , wood ybrush
hawng a d,ameter greater than 1/2 inch.
• Keep the blede sharp. A dull blade is more
likely to snag and thrust.
• Cut onlyat ful_ throttle. The blade wil_ have
maximum cottthg power and is less likely to
bind or stall
