Husqvarna K970 II Ring Operator's Manual page 17

Cutting depth
K970 II/III Ring can cut up to a depth of 270 mm (10,6
inches). Making a guide cut of 50-70 mm (2-3 inches) first,
gives you better control of the machine. This means the
water disc can penetrate into the workpiece and help
control the machine. Attempting to saw the entire depth in
one run takes longer. Working with several runs, 3 to 4
when the cut is 270 mm (10,6 inches) in depth, is much
quicker.
Large work
Cuts exceeding 1 m - secure a batten along the line to be
cut. The batten acts as a guide. Use this guide to make a
marking cut along the entire length of the cut, 50-70 mm
(2-3 inches) in depth. Remove the guides once the
marking cut has been made.
Small work
First make a shallow marking cut, max 50-70 mm (2-3
inches) in depth. Now make the final cut.
Cutting holes
NOTICE! If the upper horizontal cut is made before the
lower horizontal cut, the work piece will fall on the blade
and jam it.
• First make the lower horizontal cut. Now make the two
vertical cuts. Finish with the upper horizontal cut.

• Remember to divide the blocks up into manageable
pieces so that they can be transported and lifted
safely.
When cutting out large holes it is important that the piece
to be cut out is braced so that it cannot fall against the
operator.
Kickback
WARNING! Kickbacks are sudden and
!
can be very violent. The power cutter can
be thrown up and back towards the user
in a rotating motion causing serious or
even fatal injury. It is vital to understand
what causes kickback and how to avoid it
before using the machine.
Kickback is the sudden upward motion that can occur if
the blade is pinched or stalled in the kickback zone. Most
kickbacks are small and pose little danger. However a
kickback can also be very violent and throw the power
cutter up and back towards the user in a rotating motion
causing serious or even fatal injury.
