Basic working techniques
- The machine is designed and intended for cutting with abrasive blades or diamond blades inten-
ded for high speed handheld machines. The machine shall not be used with any other type of blade,
or for any other type of cutting.
- Check that the cutting blade is tted correctly and does not show signs of damage. See the
instructions in the sections "Cutting blades" and "Assembly and adjustments".
- Check that the correct cutting blade is used for the application in question. See instructions in the
section "Cutting blades".
- Never cut asbestos materials!
- Hold the saw with both hands; keep a rm grip with thumbs and ngers encircling the handles. The
right hand should be on the rear handle and the left hand on the front handle. All operators, weather
right or left handed shall use this grip. Never operate a power cutter holding it with only one hand.
Stand parallel to the cutting blade. Avoid standing straight behind. In the event of a kickback the
saw will move in the plane of the cutting blade.
WARNING! Do not pull the power cutter to one side, this can cause the blade to
jam or break resulting in injury to people.
Under all circumstances avoid grinding using the side of the blade; it will almost
certainly be damaged or break and can cause immense damage. Only use the
cutting section.
Before entering an existing slot made by another blade, check that the slot is not
thinner than your blade as that may result in binding in the cutting slot and a
kickback.
Never use a diamond blade to cut plastic material. The heat produced during
cutting may melt the plastic and it can stick to the cutting blade and cause a
kickback.
Cutting metal generates sparks that may cause re. Do not use the machine near
ignitable substances or gases.
