WARNING
KICKBACK DANGER (Fig. 3)
When using metal cutting attachments such as blades,
contact with obstacles such as trees or other hard
surfaces with the front or right portion of the spinning
attachment may force the unit to catch on an obstacle,
resulting in a kickback reaction towards the right side of
the operator.
Kickback may occur when the cutting attachment comes
into contact with tree stumps or rocks hidden behind
weeds. Always make sure there are no obstacles hidden
by weeds before starting work.
To minimize the danger of kickbacks when they do occur,
always position the unit to the right side of the body
during operation. With the operator properly positioned
as the cutting attachment rotates, this will reduce the
danger of the unit's direct contact with the body.
