8. Operation (Optional blade usage EX2-BC only)

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

a.Recognize that blade thrust can happen. By understanding 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 brush or rocks, fences, metal, etc

c.Be extra prepared for blade thrust 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 increase the chance of blade thrust.

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 respective 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.
