Working behavior / Method of working
- Before starting work, check the work area for any
hazards (electrical wires, inflammable substances).
Clearly mark the work area (for example with warning
signs or by cordoning off the area).
- When working with the Power Cut hold it firmly by the
front and rear handles. Never leave the Power Cut
unattended!
- Whenever possible run the Power Cut at the rated
arbour speed (see „Technical Data“).
- Only use the Power Cut during good light and visibility
periods. Be aware of slippery or wet areas, and of ice
and snow (risk of slipping).
- Never work on unstable surfaces. Make sure that
there are no obstacles in the working area, risk of
stumbling. Always ensure that you have a safe footing.
- Never cut above your shoulder height (17).
- Never stand on a ladder to cut (17).
- Never use the Power Cut while standing on
scaffolding.
- Do not lean over too far when working. When putting
down and picking up the Power Cut, do not bend over
from the waist, but instead bend in the knees. Save
your back!
- Guide the Power Cut in such a way that no part of your
body is within the extended swing range of the disc
(18).
- Use cutting discs only for the materials for which they
are designed!
- Use cutting discs only for the materials for which they
are designed. Do not use the Power Cut to lift up and
shovel away pieces of material and other objects.
Important! Before cutting, remove all foreign objects,
such as rocks, gravel, nails etc. from the cutting area.
Otherwise, such objects can be flung away by the disc
with great speed. Injury hazard!
- When cutting workpieces down to length use a firm
support. If necessary, secure the workpiece from
slipping, but do not steady it with your foot or allow
another person to hold it.
- When cutting round items, always secure them
against rotation.
- When guiding the Power Cut by hand, use the side
mounting position of the cutter attachment only when
actually necessary. Otherwise, always use the central
position. This gives the unit a better balance, for
reduced operator fatigue.
Cutting metals
IMPORTANT!
Always wear approved respiratory protection!
Materials that can release toxic substances may
be cut only after notifying the proper authorities
and under their supervision or that of a person
appointed by them.
