How you can reduce the chance of blade thrust:
a. Recognize that blade thrust can happen. By
understanding and knowing about bounce,
you can help eliminate the element of
surprise.
b. Cut fibrous weeds and grass only. Do not
let the blade contact materials it cannot cut
such as hard, woody vines and brush or
rocks, fences, metal, etc
c. Be extra prepared for blade thrust if you must
cut where you cannot see the blade making
contact such as in areas of dense growth.
d. Keep the blade sharp. A dull blade increase
the chance of blade thrust.
e. Avoid feeding the blade too rapidly. The blade
can bounce away from material being cut if
the blade is fed faster than its cutting
capability.
f. Cut only from your right to your left.
g. Keep your path of advance clear of material
that has been cut and other debris.
3. How you can maintain the best control:
a. Keep a good, firm grip on the unit with both
hands. A firm grip can help neutralize bounce.
Keep your right and left hands completely
around the respective handles.
b. Keep both feet spread apart in a comfortable
stance and yet braced for the possibility that
the unit could bounce. Do not overreach.
Keep firm footing and balance.
