Basic Working Techniques - Husqvarna K6500 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.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• 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
hazardous situations.
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.
• The guard for the cutting equipment must always be
on when the machine is running.
Service
• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person unsing only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool
is maintained.
Always use common sense
It is not possible to cover every conceivable situation you
can face. Always exercise care and use your common
sense. If you get into a situation where you feel unsafe,
stop and seek expert advice. Contact your dealer, service
agent or an experienced user. Do not attempt any task
that you feel unsure of!
OPERATING

Basic working techniques

!
• The machine is designed and intended for cutting with
abrasive blades or diamond blades intended 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 fitted correctly and
does not show signs of damage. See the instructions
in the sections "Cutting blades" and "Assembly and
settings".
• 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 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.
• 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, break and can
cause immense damage. Only use the
cutting section.
Cutting plastics with a diamond blade
can cause kickback when the material
melts due to the heat produced when
cutting and sticks to the blade. Never cut
plastic materials with a diamond blade!
Cutting metal generates sparks that may
cause fire. Do not use the machine near
ignitable substances or gases.
