To reduce the risk of loss of control:
• Replace or re-sharpen dull blades. Dull blades are
more likely to bind in the cut and cause blade thrust.
• Watch out for hidden obstacles, such as rocks, stumps,
roots, etc., that could cause the blade to kick back if
struck. Blade thrust is more likely to occur in areas
where it is difficult to see what is being cut.
• Understand the reaction forces of the blade.
• When using a brush blade to saw through heavy brush
and small saplings, saw with the side of the brush
blade that is moving toward you and tends to pull the
multi-tool away from you.
• Blades on Qualcut multi-tools rotate counterclockwise,
as viewed from the operator's position. Therefore, the
left side of the blade is moving toward you. Sawing
with the left side of a brush blade will give you better
control and less risk of kickback, though it will throw the
sawdust toward you.
• Cut from the side of saplings that will cause them to fall
away from the multi-tool. This will help prevent the
blade from binding in the cut and kicking back.
• Accelerate the engine to maximum speed before
starting the cut, and saw through with uniform
pressure.
Operation on Slopes
• Start on the low side of a slope, and work upward. This
will reduce your risk of slipping and falling, and it will
give you a cutting angle that will better enable you to
direct debris away from you.
• Do not let the cutting line or blade dig into the slope,
because that can cause stones and dirt to be thrown at
you.
• Do not raise the cutting attachment above waist level
during operation, because that would increase the risk
of thrown objects striking your face.
• Avoid steep slopes that would require holding the
cutting attachment above waist level. Avoid slippery
slopes that might cause you to lose your balance.
