personal injury. Replace the blade if it is dull.
• BLADE THRUST
WARNING:
Blade thrust may occur
when the spinning blade contacts an object that it
does not immediately cut. Blade thrust can be violent
enough to propel the unit and/or operator in any
direction, possibly causing a loss of control. 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.
