Blade thrust is the reaction which 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 safely,approach the weeds
being cut from the right to the left,in the event
that an unexpected object or woody stock is
encountered,this could minimise the blade thrust
reaction.
