Blade Thrust
‘Blade thrust’ is a sudden sideways or backward motion of the brushcutter. Such
motion may occur when the blade jams or catches on an object such as a sap-
ling tree or tree stump. BE CONSTANTLY ALERT FOR BLADE THRUST AND
GUARD AGAINST ITS EFFECTS!
Barrier Bar
A brushcutter’s barrier bar helps prevent the operator from moving forward, or the
unit moving rearward, thus preventing inadvertent bodily contact with the blade.
ALWAYS KEEP THE BARRIER BAR SECURELY IN PLACE ON THE UNIT!
Shoulder Strap or Harness
A shoulder strap or harness provides additional protection against blade thrust. In
addition, a shoulder strap or harness gives signicant support and comfort to help
ensure safe and efcient operation.
When operating a unit equipped with a blade, make sure both the handle/barrier
bar and shoulder strap or harness are adjusted to the size of the operator using
the unit.
The blade rotates counter-clockwise. For best performance and to minimize being
struck by debris, move the blade from right to left while advancing on your work.
Position the blade so cuts are made between the blade’s 7 o’clock and 11 o’clock
positions (as viewed from above). DO NOT cut between the 11 o’clock and 5
o’clock positions (shaded area).
