By using the unit properly, the occurrence of blade thrust will be reduced and the operator will be less likely to lose control. • Cut only grass, weeds, and woody brush up to 1/2 inch (1 cm) in diameter with weed blade. Do not let blade contact material it cannot cut such as stumps, rocks, fences, metal, etc.
