7. When not in use, attach the blade cover onto

the blade. Remove the cover before operation.

Kickback (Blade thrust)

1. Kickback (blade thrust) is a sudden reaction

to a caught or bound cutting blade. Once it

occurs, the tool is thrown sideway or toward

the operator at great force and it may cause

serious injury.

2. Kickback occurs particularly when applying

the blade segment between 12 and 2 o'clock

to solids, bushes and trees with 3 cm or larger

diameter.

►Fig.2

16 ENGLISH

3. To avoid kickback:

1.

Apply the segment between 8 and 11 o'clock.

2. Never apply the segment between 12 and

2 o'clock.

3.

Never apply the segment between 11 and 12

o'clock and between 2 and 5 o'clock, unless

the operator is well trained and experienced

and does it at his/her own risk.

4. Never use cutting blades close to solids,

such as fences, walls, tree trunks and

stones.

5. Never use cutting blades vertically, for

such operations as edging and trimming

hedges.
