Reactive Forces

Kickout can be caused for the following reasons:
– The shaded area or the black area of the rotating metal
cutting attachment comes into contact with a solid object
and is suddenly braked.
– The rotating metal cutting attachment gets pinched in the
cut.
The risk of kickout is greatest in the black area.
WARNING
￭ These situations can abruptly decelerate or stop rotation
of the cutting attachment and cause the cutting
attachment to be thrown to the right or in the direction of
the user (black arrow). The user can lose control of the
trimmer. This can result in serious or fatal injuries.
► Hold the trimmer firmly with both hands.
► Use the working techniques described in this instruction
manual.
► Do not use the black area for cutting.
► Use a combination of cutting attachment, deflector and
carrying system recommended in this instruction
manual.
► Sharpen the metal cutting attachment correctly.
► Cut with the motor running at full speed.
