Blade thrust causes and related warnings:
• Blade thrust is a sudden sideways, forward or
backward motion of the machine, which may occur
when the blade jams or catches on an object such as
a sapling or a tree stump. It can be violent enough to
cause the machine and/or operator to be propelled
in any direction, and possibly lose control of the
machine.
• Blade thrust and its related hazards can be avoided
by taking proper precautions as given below.
• Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the
machine and position your arms to resist blade
thrust. Position your body to the left side of the
machine. Blade thrust can increase the risk of injury
due to the machine moving unexpectedly. Blade
thrust can be controlled by the operator if proper
precautions are taken.
• If the blade binds, or when interrupting a cut
for any reason, switch the machine off and hold
the machine motionless in the material until the
blade comes to a complete stop. While the blade
is binding, never attempt to remove the machine
from the material or pull the machine backward
while the blade is in motion, otherwise blade
thrust may occur. Investigate and take corrective
actions to eliminate the cause of blade binding.
• Do not use blunt or damaged blades. Blunt or
damaged blades increase the risk of jamming or
catching on an object, resulting in blade thrust.
• Always maintain good visibility of the material
being cut. Blade thrust is more likely to occur in
areas where it is difficult to see the material being cut.
• If you are approached by another person while
operating the machine, switch the machine off.
There is an increased risk of injury to other persons
being struck by the moving blade in the event of
blade thrust.
Other safety rules:
• When using this tool, use the harness to reduce
user fatigue and help in maintaining control of
the tool during use.
• Do not wear multiple harnesses simultaneously.
When wearing a shoulder strap, ensure that no
other wearable interferes with the release and
removal of the strap.
• Do not use the tool near anything that is burning
or smoking such as cigarettes, matches, or hot
ashes.
• To reduce the risk of health hazards from vapors
or dust, do not use tool near toxic, carcinogenic
or other hazardous materials such as asbestos,
arsenic, barium, beryllium, lead, pesticides or
other health endangering materials.
• Use care when using around decorative plants
and other obstacles. Accessories will cut/dam-
age many materials.
• Do not operate the tool without the correct guard
in place. The guard must be attached properly
during use. Operating the tool without the guard
could cause serious injury.
•Do not use tool as an edger. Do not tilt to create
a right angle to the ground. Keep brush cutter
head and trimmer head parallel to the ground.
Guard cannot protect against flying debris in this
orientation.
• Thrown objects may ricochet off of hard surfaces,
such as walls, trees, and rocks and cause injury.
When possible, do cutting by hand in closed in areas.
• Always turn off the tool when transporting from
one location to another. Do not carry tool with finger
on the trigger. Accidental starting can cause serious
personal injury.
• Do not immerse in water or spray with a hose.
Do not clean with a pressure washer. Water entering
a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
Store tool indoors.
• Do not store the power tool on or near to fertilizers
or chemicals.
• Always turn off the tool and then remove battery
pack before changing or removing accessories.
• Always use common sense and be cautious when
using tools. It is not possible to anticipate every
situation that could result in a dangerous outcome.
Do not use this tool if you do not understand these
operating instructions or you feel the work is beyond
your capability; contact Milwaukee Tool or a trained
professional for additional information or training.
• Maintain labels and nameplates. These carry
important information. If unreadable or missing,
