▪
Move around the tree in a clockwise direction. Approach grass/weeds with the tip of the
cutting blade.
▪
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating blade.
▪
Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling or the rotating blade which in turn causes the
uncontrolled power tool to be forced in t
he direction opposite of the accessory’s rotation at
the point of the binding.
▪
Kickback is a result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or
conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions.
▪
Maintain a firm grip on the machine and position your body and arm to allow you to resist
kickback forces.
▪
ALWAYS use both hands on the handle bar for maximum control over kickback or torque
reaction during start up.
▪
The operator can control torque reactions or kickback forces, if proper precautions are
taken.
▪
NEVER place your hand near the rotating blade. The blade may kickback over your hand.
▪
DO NOT position your body in the area where the power tool will move if kickback occurs.
Kickback will propel the tool in the direction opposite to the blades movement at the point
of snagging.
▪
Use special care when working in corners.
▪
Avoid bouncing and snagging the cutting head.
