■CONTROLLING BLADE BOUNCE
•Kick out can cause serious personal injury. Carefully study this section. It is important that you understand what causes kick out, how you can reduce the chance of kick out and how you can remain in control of the unit if kick out does occur.
1. What causes kick out:
•Kick out can occur when the moving blade contacts an object that it cannot cut. This contact causes the blade to stop for an instant and then suddenly move or ”bounce” away from the object that was hit. The operator can lose control of the unit and the blade can cause serious personal injury to the operator or any person nearby if the blade contacts any part of the body.
