CONTROLLING BLADE BOUNCE
Blade thrust can cause serious personal injury. Carefully study
this section. It is important that you understand what causes
blade thrust, how you can reduce the chance of blade thrust
and how you can remain in control of the unit if blade thrust
does occur.
1. What causes blade thrust:
Blade thrust can occur when the moving blade contacts an
object that it cannot cut. This contact causes the blade to
stop for an instant and then suddenly move or “bounce”
away from the object that was hit. The operator can lose con-
trol of the unit and the blade can cause serious personal
injury to the operator or any person nearby if the blade con-
tacts any part of the body.
