I'm not trying to open a can of worms, but I have heard of what appears to be an on going problem, and has recently hit home for me.
Has anyone been involved in, or heard of rescuers getting hurt by the Amkus speedway cutter? I have heard of three people so far, one in NJ, one in upstate NY, one in PA, and most recently, my friend in MD.
Apparently what is happening is when the operator is carrying the tool, they are inadvertenly opening the valve, causing the blades to close on unsuspecting rescuers.
I have the utmost respect for Amkus and their products, I'm just looking for others that have had a simular problem. If you haven't, please be carefull when carrying this cutter, AND NEVER,EVER PUT YOUR HANDS IN THE BLADE AREA.
<br />THANKS, AND BE SAFE OUT THERE!!
