■ Keep a firm grip with both hands while in operation.
The product should be held at a comfortable position
with the trigger hand or rear handle about hip height.
■ To help reduce the risk of kickback: Do not push into
the material to be cut. Move from right to left in steady
sweeps, moving forward a little at the beginning of
each new sweep.
■ Maintain your grip and balance on both feet. Position
yourself so that you will not be drawn off balance by
the kick-back reaction of the cutting blade.
■ Adjust the strap hanger to a comfortable position.
Exercise extreme caution when using the blade with
the product. Blade thrust is the reaction that may occur
when the spinning blade contacts anything it cannot
cut. This contact may cause the blade to stop for
an instant, and suddenly "thrust" the unit away from
the object that was hit. This reaction can be violent
enough to cause the operator to lose control of the
unit. Blade thrust may occur without warning if the
blade snags, stalls or binds. This is more likely to
occur in areas where it is difficult to see the material
being cut. For cutting ease and safety, approach the
weeds being cut from the right to the left. In the event
an unexpected object or woody stock is encountered,
this could minimize the blade thrust reaction.
