cause the sudden stalling of the cutting head, which in turn results in the cutting head being forced in the opposite direction to the rotation of the cutting
blade. Ensure that you retain a firm grip on the handle with both hands at all times, pay attention to the working area to ensure that the cutting blade will
not come into contact with hard objects and maintain a firm stance to avoid injury due to kickback.
