WARNING:
Always use a well sharpened blade.
A blade with worn teeth besides providing poor
performance, might also generate a sudden thrust. This
can result in a violent sideways kick caused when the
blade touches against solid bodies. Such thrust might then
cause the operator to lose control of the machine itself. Do
not attempt to use a damaged blade but replace it with a
new one.
THRUST:
Can occur when using any type of blade
within the risk area
; therefore it is advisable to cut
using the remaining area of the blade.
