Basic Working Techniques - Husqvarna K6500 Chain Operator's Manual

Power tool use and care
• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power
tool for your application. The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
• Do not use the power tool if the switch does not
turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
• Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the
power tool or these instructions to operate the
power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
• Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the power
tool´s operation. If damaged, have the power tool
repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.
in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to
be performed. Use of the power tool for operations
different from those intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
WARNING! Under no circumstances
!
should you modify the original design of
the machine without approval from the
manufacturer. Always use original spare
parts. Unauthorized modifications and/or
accessories may lead to serious injury or
death to the user or others.
• Make sure that no pipes or electrical cables are routed
in the working area or in the material to be cut.
• Always check and mark out where gas pipes are
routed. Cutting close to gas pipes always entails
danger. Make sure that sparks are not caused when
cutting in view of the risk of explosion. Remain
concentrated and focused on the task. Carelessness
can result in serious personal injury or death.
• All guards and covers must always be fitted when
operating the machine.
Service
• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool
is maintained.

OPERATING
Water cooling and dust management
Water cooling must always be used. Dry cutting causes
immediate overheating and machine and cutting blade
failure with a risk of personal injury.
In addition to cooling the bar and chain, the flow of water
pushes particles away from the bar and the drive links. As
a result it is important with a high water pressure. For
recommended water pressure and flow, see "Technical
data" section. If water hoses loosen from their supply
sources, this indicates that the machine is connected to a
water pressure that is too high.
Wet cutting also provides adequate dust suppression.

Basic working techniques

!
• This machine is designed for and intended for sawing
concrete, brick and different stone materials. All other
use is improper.
• Check that the chain does not show signs of damage
in the form of play on the links, broken bumper or drive
links or broken segments.
• Check that the chain is fitted correctly and does not
show signs of damage. See the instructions in the
sections "Diamond chains" and "Maintenance".
• Never cut asbestos materials!
• Hold the saw with both hands; keep a firm grip with
thumbs and fingers 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.
WARNING! Do not lean the saw to the
side, this can cause the chain to jam or
break with personal injury as a
consequence.
Under all circumstances avoid grinding
using the side of the bar and chain; it will
almost certainly be damaged, break and
can cause immense damage. Only use
the cutting section.
Never use diamond chains to cut plastic
material.
Cutting metal generates sparks that may
cause fire. Do not use the machine near
ignitable substances or gases.
