Blade Thrust Safety Warnings:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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
5. 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.
6. 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.
This section contains additional warnings and
instructions contained in UL 62841-4-2 and 62841-4-
4.
