you work on sloping ground.
•
Walk, never run.
•
Inspect the working area. Remove all loose objects,
such as stones, broken glass, nails, steel wire, string
etc. that could be thrown out or become wrapped
around the cutter or cutter guard.

Blade thrust causes and related warnings
•
Blade thrust is a sudden sideways, forward or
backward motion of the machine, which may occur
when the blade jams or catches on an object such
as a sapling or a tree stump. It can be violent
enough to cause the machine and/or operator to be
propelled in any direction, and possibly lose control
of the machine. Blade thrust and its related hazards
can be avoided by taking proper precautions as
given below.
•
Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the machine
and position your arms to resist blade thrust.
Position your body to the left side of the machine.
Blade thrust can increase the risk of injury due to the
machine moving unexpectedly. Blade thrust can be
controlled by the operator if proper precautions are
taken.
•
If the blade binds, or when interrupting a cut for
any reason, switch the machine off and hold the
machine motionless in the material until the blade
comes to a complete stop. While the blade is
binding, never attempt to remove the machine from
the material or pull the machine backward while the
blade is in motion, otherwise blade thrust may occur.
Investigate and take corrective actions to eliminate
the cause of blade binding.
•
Do not use blunt or damaged blades. Blunt or
damaged blades increase the risk of jamming or
catching on an object, resulting in blade thrust.
•
Always maintain good visibility of the material being
cut. Blade thrust is more likely to occur in areas
where it is difficult to see the material being cut.
•
If you are approached by another person while
operating the machine, switch the machine off.
There is an increased risk of injury to other persons
being struck by the moving blade in the event of
blade thrust.
