How to aviod kickback
Avoiding kickback is simple.
• The work piece must always be supported so that the
cut stays open when cutting through. When the cut
opens there is no kickback. If the cut closes and
pinches the blade there is always a risk of kickback.
• Take care when inserting the blade in an existing cut.
• Be alert to movement of the work piece or anything
else that can occur, which could cause the cut to close
and pinch the blade.
Transport and storage
• Secure the equipment during transportation in order
to avoid transport damage and accidents.
• Do not store or transport the power cutter with the
cutting blade fitted.
• For transport and storage of cutting blades, see the
section "Cutting blades".
• For transport and storage of fuel, see the section
"Fuel handling".
• Store the equipment in a lockable area so that it is out
of reach of children and unauthorized persons.
