If the cutting tool hits something foreign while it is
running, stop, disconnect the machine from the mains
and examine the machine before continuing. If you
detect any signs of damage, take your machine to the
technical service.
Keep cutting instruments sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
If the machine starts to vibrate in a strange way, turn

2.5.1. IMPREVED REACTION FORCES WHILE
WORKING WITH THE MOWER
Always keep your attention while cutting with the
mower and be aware of possible unforeseen reaction
forces. The unforeseen reaction forces that occur in
a mower are rebound and recoil. These forces can
unbalance the user and cause dangerous situations.
2.5.1.1. REBOUND
A rebound of the mower may occur if an object is
touched with the cutting chain in the area of the tip
of the bar while it is running. The contact of the chain
at the tip of the bar can cause an unexpected reaction
force that can drive the tip of the bar backward
generating a movement in the rotary mower that can
cause loss of control of the machine and cause severe
body damage.
2.5.1.2. FORWARD PULL
A "forward pull" can occur when the chain stops
abruptly when it is caught in the cutting area with
a foreign body that is in the wood or because it is
not cut properly. The chain, when stopped, pushes
the mower forward which, if it is not properly secured,
produces an unexpected pull that can cause the user
to lose control of the mower, cause it to fall forward
