lose your balance.

WARNING

CONTROLLING BLADE BOUNCE

Blade thrust can cause serious personal injury. Care-
fully study this section. It is important that you un-
derstand what causes blade thrust, how you can re-
duce the chance of blade thrust and how you can 
remain in control of the unit if blade thrust does oc-
cur. 

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 control of the 
unit and the blade can cause serious personal 
injury to the operator or any person nearby if the 
blade contacts any part of the body.

2.  How you can reduce the chance of blade thrust:

a.  Recognize that blade thrust can happen. By un-

derstanding and knowing about bounce, you can 
help eliminate the element of surprise.

b.  Cut fibrous weeds and grass only. Do not let the 

blade contact materials it cannot cut such as hard, 
woody vines and bushes or rocks, fences, metal, 
etc.

c.  Be extra prepared for bounce if you must cut where 

you cannot see the blade making contact such as 
in areas of dense growth.

d.  Keep the blade sharp. A dull blade increases the 

chance of bounce.

e.  Avoid feeding the blade too rapidly. The blade can 

bounce away from material being cut if the blade 
is fed faster than its cutting capability.

 f.  Cut only from your right to your left.
g.  Keep your path of advance clear of material that 

has been cut and other debris.

3.  How you can maintain the best control:

a.  Keep a good, firm grip on the unit with both hands. 

A firm grip can help neutralize bounce. Keep your 
right and left hands completely around the respec-
tive handles.

b.  Keep both feet spread apart in a comfortable 

stance and yet braced for the possibility that the 
unit could bounce. Do not overreach. Keep firm 
footing and balance.

MAINTENANCE

BLADE
•  Check  the  blade  and  the  fasteners  for  looseness, 

cracking, or bending.

•  Check the cutting edges and reform with a flat file.

IMPORTANT

  It is recommended that filing should be done by pro-

fessionals.

  Especially regarding filing the saw blade, leave it to 

the professionals.

TRANSPORTING THE UNIT

•  When you finish cutting in one location and wish to 

continue work in another spot, turn off the engine, lift 
up the unit and carry it, paying attention to the blade.

•  Never forget to place the protective cover over the 

blades.

•  When transporting the unit over long distances, detach 

the blade and fasten the unit by ropes.
