OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR BRUSHCUTTER ATTACHMENT

•Blade Thrust is a reaction that only occurs when using a bladed unit. This reaction can cause serious injury such

as amputation. Carefully study this section. It is important that you under- stand what causes blade thrust, hew you can reduce the chance of its ec* cutting, and how you can remain in control of unit if blade thrust occurs.

•WHAT CAUSES BLADE THRUST - Blade Thrust can occur when spin- ning blade contacts an object that it does not cut. This contact causes blade to stop for an instant and then suddenly move or "thrust" away from object that was hit. The "thrusting" re- action can be violent enough to cause operator to be propelled in any direc- tion and lose control of unit. The un- controlled unit can cause serious injury if blade contacts operator or others.
