REACTION FORCES
Anticlockwise rotation
Push
PUSH. The operator may feel the unit push toward him
when he tries to cut the object on right. If he cannot hold
the blade in the cut, a kickback may occur when the
blade is pushed out to where the teeth at the outside
furthest point from the operator are cutting. The blade
will “kickback” sideways.
PULL. The opposite of push. When object on left, the
operator may feel the unit pull away. Although this pull
type of cutting may cause sawdust to be thrown back at
the operator, it is recommended for sawing off heavy
brush because the cutting is smoother and more stable
than when the unit pushes.

Kickback
WARNING DANGER
BE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND THE REACTION
FORCES OF PUSH AND PULL, AND KICKBACK
DESCRIBED IN THIS MANUAL, AND HOW THESE
FORCES MAY AFFECT YOUR BALANCE IN THE
OPERATION OF A UNIT.
KICKBACK. This may occur when the moving blade at
the front of the blade circle contacts strong brush or
trees. The force that occurs pushes the entire unit and
blade violently away in an arc. Kickback is a danger to a
bystander and also a jolting force to the operator.
WARNING DANGER
ALWAYS STOP THE ENGINE WHEN A CUTTING
ATTACHMENT JAM OCCURS. DO NOT ATTEMPT
TO REMOVE AN OBJECT CAUSING A JAM IF THE
ENGINE IS RUNNING. SEVERE INJURY CAN
OCCUR IF A JAM IS REMOVED AND THE
CUTTING ATTACHMENT SUDDENLY STARTS.
SCYTHING WEEDS. This is cutting by swinging the
cutting attachment in a level arc. It can quickly clear
areas of field grass and weeds. Scything should not be
used to cut large, tough weeds or woody growths.
If a sapling or shrub binds the cutting attachment, do not
use the cutting attachment as a lever to free the bind,
because this will cause cutting attachment failure.
Instead, shut off the engine and push the sapling or
shrub to free the blades.
Do not use a cracked or damaged blade.
