Reactive Forces

4.8.1 Reactive Forces
Kickout can be caused for the following reasons:
– The shaded area or the black area of the rotat‐
ing metal cutting attachment comes into con‐
tact 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 trim‐
mer. 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 recommen‐
ded in this instruction manual.
► Sharpen the metal cutting attachment cor‐
rectly.
► Cut with the motor running at full speed.
