Risk of kickout (blade thrust) with
all rigid cutting blades
Kickout is the sudden and uncontrolled
motion towards the operator’s right or
rear that can occur when the shaded
area of the rotating blade come into
contact with a solid object like a tree,
rock or similar. The rapid counter-
clockwise rotation of the blade may be
stopped or slowed, and the cutting blade
may be thrown to the right or to the rear.
The
risk of kickout is greatest
when
the
shaded area
of the rotating blade
comes into contact with a solid object.
Grass Cutting Blade
Use for cutting 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 cutting blade according
to instructions when it has dulled
noticeably.
Brush Knife
Suitable for cutting matted grass, wild
growth and scrub, thinning young stands
with a maximum stem diameter of 2 cm.
To reduce the
risk of personal
injury
,
never
attempt to cut thicker wood.
To cut wild growth and scrub, lower the
brush knife
down
onto the growth to
achieve shredding effect – do not use
the cutting tool above waist height.
Exercise
extreme caution
when using
this method of cutting. The higher the
cutting tool is off the ground, the greater
the risk of cuttings being thrown
sideways and causing injury.
Use the brushcutter like a scythe (sweep
it to the right and left) at ground level
when cutting grass and thinning young
stands.
