  Metal blades are suitable for cutting weeds, high grasses, bushes, shrubs, underwood, thicket, and the like. Never use other blades including metal multi-piece pivoting chains and flail blades. It may result in serious injury.
• Always use the cutting tool guard properly suited for the cutting tool used.
• When using metal blades, avoid "kickback" and always prepare for an accidental kickback. See the section "Kickback."

Kickback (Blade thrust) (Fig. 5 & 6)

• Kickback (blade thrust) is a sudden reaction to a caught or bound cutting blade. Once it occurs, the equipment is thrown sideway or toward the operator at great force and it may cause serious injury.

• Kickback occurs particularly when applying the blade segment between 12 and 2 o'clock to solids, bushes and trees with 3 cm or larger diameter.
  • To avoid kickback:

• apply the segment between 8 and 11 o'clock;

• never apply the segment between 12 and 2 o'clock;
  – never apply the segment between 11 and 12 o'clock and between 2 and 5 o'clock, unless the operator is well trained and experienced and does it at his/her own risk;
  – never use cutting blades close to solids, such as fences, walls, tree trunks and stones;
  – never use cutting blades vertically, for such operations as edging and trimming hedges.

Vibration

• People with poor circulation who are exposed to excessive vibration may experience injury to blood vessels or the nervous system. Vibration may cause the following symptoms to occur in the fingers, hands or wrists: "Falling asleep" (numbness), tingling, pain, stabbing sensation, alteration of skin color or of the skin. If any of these symptoms occur, see a physician!
