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.
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!

Basic working techniques

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 or 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.
• 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
adjustments".
• 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. On the front handle, do not hold
outside the isolated gripping areas. All operators,
16 – English
OPERATING
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.
• If the blade is binding in the cut or when aborting a cut,
release the throttle and wait untill the blade stops. Do
not extract the blade from the cut while the blade is in
motion otherwise kickback may occur.
• Maintain a safe distance from the cutting blade when
the engine is running.
• Never leave the machine unsupervised with the motor
running.
• Never move the machine when the cutting equipment
is rotating.
• Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has
come to complete stop. (Pending on the guard
adjustment, the blade may contact the ground at
resting position.)
• The guard for the cutting equipment should be
adjusted so that the rear section is flush with the work
piece. Spatter and sparks from the material being cut
are then collected up by the guard and led away from
the user. The guards for the cutting equipment must
always be fitted when the machine is running.
• Never use the kickback zone of the blade for cutting.
See instructions under the heading "Kickback".
• Keep a good balance and a firm foothold.
• Never cut above shoulder height.
• Use exrra caution when making a "pocket cut" into
existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding
wheel may cut gas or water pipes, electric wiring or
objects that can cause kickback.
