• Follow the same saw cut, but further in the work piece
(C), and repeat the work with the crowbar.
WARNING! When cutting vertically,
!
always cut from the top of the cut and
down. Never cut from the bottom of the
cut and up. This can cause a kickback
and result in personal injury.
• Repeat this working method until the required cutting
depth is achieved (D, E).
• The blade guards are designed to easily adapt to how
deep in the work piece the power cutter is moved.
WARNING! Under all circumstances
!
avoid grinding using the side of the
blade; it will almost certainly be
damaged or break and can cause
immense damage. Only use the cutting
section.
Do not pull the power cutter to one side,
this can cause the blade to jam or break
resulting in injury to people.
OPERATING
Smooth cutting
To enable smooth cutting, the splash guard must be
adjusted.
• Release the latch.
• Slide the splash guard sideways.
• Lock the latch.
Kickback
Kickback is a sudden, rearward motion of the saw that can
occur if the blades are stalled (pinched, jammed, twisted)
in the so called kickback zone. Most kickbacks are small
and felt as small "jerks" in the front handle. However,
kickback can be very powerful. If you are not paying
attention or have a poor grip the saw can be thrown all the
way back at you.
!
WARNING! Kickback can be very sudden
and viloent, throwing the saw back at
you. It can cause serious or even fatal
injuries. It is vital you understand what
causes kickback and how to aviod it
using proper cutting techique.
