Cutoff discs The protection hood must always be on! Change discs only with the engine off! There are two basic types of cutoff discs: - For metal (hot cutting) - For masonry (cold cutting) NOTE: When using diamond cutoff discs, always make sure to observe the "direction of rotation"... -
Page 7: Kickback And Lock-In

Page 16: Starting The Engine
Starting the engine necessary This model is fitted with a semiautomatic decompression valve (1) to make starting easier. Press the rubber cover until you can feel it engage. This pushes in the deompression valve behind it. This in turn reduces the compression, so that it takes less force to pull the starter cord to accelerate the engine to its starting speed. -
Page 17: Cold-Starting
Cold starting: Grasp front handle firmly with one hand and press the Power Cut against the ground. Place left toe in the rear handguard. Push the combination switch (6) up (choke position). This will automatically activate the half-throttle lock. NOTE: If the Power Cut is mounted on the trolley, do not operate the gas lever (throttle) on the side of the trolley! Pull the starter cable out slowly until you feel resistance (piston is now just before top dead center). -

Page 20: Cleaning The Protection Hood
Cleaning the protection hood Over time, the inside of the protective hood can become caked with material residue (especially from wet cutting), which if allowed to accumulate can hinder the free rotation of the cut- ting disc. For this reason the hood must be cleaned out from time to time. - Page 21 CAUTION: Turn off the engine before cleaning the air filter! Never clean out the air filter with compressed air! Do not clean the pre-filter and inner filter with fuel. The service life of the engine depends on the condition and regular maintenance of the filter elements. Failure to perform maintenance and cleaning at the prescribed intervals will cause increased wear inside the engine! If the air filter becomes damaged, replace immediately! Pieces of cloth or large dirt particles can destroy the engine! Do not work in dusty conditions when it can be avoided! The fine dust generated when dry-cutting concrete and stone...
