Blade thrust
• A blade thrust is a sudden movement of the product
to the side, forward or rearward. A blade thrust
occurs when the grass blade hits an object that
cannot be cut. In areas where it is not easy to see
the material being cut the risk of blade thrust
increases.
• When a blade thrust occurs, there is a risk that the
product or the operator moves out of position. A
blade that moves can hit bystanders and there is a
risk of injuries.
• If a blade is bent, has cracks, is broken or damaged,
discard the blade.
