This brush cutter is ideal for my blackberry cane problem. The "hip barrier" piece attaches to the handle to protect against kickback. I think Milwaukee supplies it for a reason although I have noticed no tendency to kick back. If you hit a hidden piece of metal by mistake or large sapling perhaps it could? Anyhow, installing it takes but a moment or two and there is no downside to it AFAICT. So far, no regrets on buying this brush cutter. Also using it with the 12 a-h batts that came with my M18 mower. That does make it a little back heavy.
Thanks for the video. This helped me decide whether or not to buy this attachment for my Milwaukee. It's a little on the pricey side but looks worthwhile.
Also a 8 inch blade would be better for that trimmer, I have a ryobi 40v that I do brush cutting with, when you cut brush its best to cut from the right side to prevent kickback and to do the small cuts at a time like you discovered earlier in the video. The long handle that came with your blade goes against your leg when trimmer or brush cutting to make it more stable.

If you think that the brush cutter is impressive, get yourself the hedger attachment. That'll clear trails much faster and is gentle on the battery.
The handle is for when you do brush, it goes where the handle goes at to hold the trimmer better because the trimmer kick back when cutting sappling.
Pole saw and or hatchet and you are rocking!!

why on earth they make you pay $150 for what should be a $30 adapter really does not sit well with me
The Milwaukee has torque detection which is why it stops when the blade starts heavy.
Just bought the Milwaukee M18 brushcutter, and to be honest, it's pretty shit! My Husqvarna 535LK is on a different planet!
Theres no shame in reading the instructions. Just sayin
