Risk of Kickout (Blade Thrust) with Metal
Cutting Attachments
WARNING
The risk of kickout is greatest when the
black area of the rotating cutting
attachment comes into contact with a
solid object.
Grass Cutting Blade
Use for grass and weeds only – sweep
the brushcutter in an arc like a scythe.
WARNING
Improper use may damage the grass
cutting blade – risk of injury from thrown
parts.
Resharpen the grass cutting blade
according to instructions when it has
dulled noticeably.
Brush Knife
For cutting matted grass, wild growth
and scrub and thinning young stands
with a stem diameter of no more than
2 cm – do not cut thicker stems – risk of
accidents.
Use the brushcutter like a scythe (sweep
it to the right and left) at ground level
when cutting grass and thinning young
stands.
To cut wild growth and scrub, lower the
brush knife down onto the growth to
achieve a shredding effect – always
keep the cutting attachment below hip
level during this process.
Exercise extreme caution when using
this method of cutting. The higher the
cutting attachment is off the ground, the
greater the risk of injury from cuttings
being thrown sideways.
Warning! Improper use of a brush knife
may cause it to crack, chip or shatter –
risk of injury from thrown parts.
When using metal cut
-
ting attachments there is
a risk of kickout when the
rotating blade comes into
contact with a solid object
such as a tree trunk,
branch, tree stump, rock
or similar. The machine is
thrown to the right or to
the rear – opposite to the
attachment's direction of
rotation.
