this unit. Blade thrust is the reaction that may occur
when the spinning blade contacts anything it cannot
cut. This contact may cause the blade to stop for
an instant, and suddenly "thrust" the unit away from
the object that was hit. This reaction can be violent

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. For cutting ease and safety, approach the weeds
being cut from the right to the left. In the event an
unexpected object or woody stock is encountered,
this could minimize the blade thrust reaction.
