Blade thrust may occur when the spinning blade contacts a solid object in the critical area. A dangerous reaction may occur causing the entire unit and operator to be thrust violently. This reaction is called BLADE THRUST. As a result, the operator may lose control of the unit which may cause serious or fatal injury. Blade thrust is more likely to occur in areas where it is difficult to see the material to be cut.

WARNING! • Read the Operator's Manual and follow all warnings and safety instructions. Failure to do so can result in serious injury to the operator and /or bystanders. • Objects may be thrown or ricochet in all directions. ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION. • Keep bystanders at least 50 feet (15m) away. • To reduce the chance of hearing loss, always wear ear protection. • To reduce the risk of injury from loss of control, never use a metal blade on a curved shaft grass trimmer. Never use a metal blade on any brushcutter without barrier bar or bicycle handle configuration and safety strap. • Use of a blade may cause a sudden sideways, forward or backward motion of the brushcutter when the blade contacts a solid object. See Owner's manual for model specific details.
