Warning!
Kickout (blade thrust) is the sudden and
uncontrolled motion towards the

operator's right or rear that can occur
when the shaded area of the rotating
blade comes in contact with a solid
object like a tree, rock, bush or wall. The
rapid counterclockwise rotation of the
blade may be stopped or slowed, and
the cutting attachment may be thrown in
an area to the right or to the rear.

risk of injury, extreme caution should be
used when cutting with the shaded area
of any rigid blade.

screw.
Upper and lower clamps are loose
once the hex. head screw has been
removed.
Line up handlebar at right angles to
the drive tube.
Tighten the clamp screw first, then
the hex. head screw.
