Cutting Blade Operating Tips: To establish a rhythmic cutting procedure: • Plant feet firmly, comfortably apart. • Bring the engine to full throttle before entering the material to be cut. The blade has maximum cutting power at full throttle and is less likely to bind, stall, or cause blade thrust, which can result in serious personal injury to the operator or others. [. . . ]
