Jake, if I was to summarize what we were taught on the course, it is never have your face in-line (over) with the blade. If/when you get a kickback it will come up fast and if your head is slightly to the left of it, the blade will come up past your right shoulder and do no harm. It's important you do this. Most people don't.
The part of the blade that causes the kickback is the top half of the end of the blade.
Shrup, I think you can put a polesaw (chainsaw) extention on the end of that trimmer beast. Fun and safe.
While talking chainsaws. Please remmember to shake the can of 2-stroke fuel to get the oil mixed in before fueling up the chainsaw. I sinks to the bottom. Also give the chainsaw a shake too, to mix what's in the fuel tank.
Sorry if I'm starting to sound like your mother, it's just that these things are ferkin dangerous.
Have fun
