Operating instruction
Blade Thrust is a reaction that only occurs when using a bladed unit. This reaction can cause serious
injury such as amputation. Carefully study this section. It is important that you understand what causes
blade thrust, how you can reduce the chance of its occurring, and how you can remain in control of unit if
blade thrust occurs.
WHAT CAUSES BLADE THRUST – Blade Thrust can occur when the spinning blade contacts an
object that it does not cut. This contact causes the blade to stop for aninstant and then suddenly move or
“thrust” away from the object that was hit. The “thrusting” reaction can be violent enough to cause the
operator to be propelled in any direction and lose control of the unit. The uncontrolled unit can cause
serious injury if the blade contacts the operator or others.
WHEN BLADE THRUST OCCURS - Blade Thrust can occur without warning if the blade snags,
stalls, or binds. This is more likely to occur in areas where it is difficult to see the material being cut. By
using the unit properly, the occurrence of blade thrust will be reduced and the operator will be less likely
to lose control.
