Risk of "kickout" (blade thrust)
with all rigid cutting blades
!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.
This kickout (blade thrust) may cause 
loss of control of the clearing saw and 
may result in serious or fatal injury to the 
operator or bystanders. To reduce the 
risk of injury, extreme caution should be 
used when cutting with the shaded area 
of any rigid blade.
