HSS Hire 07116 Operating & Safety Manual

Once the engine has started, squeeze and release
the throttle to release the trigger lock and set the
throttle in the idling position.
Note that, if restarting after a short break, you do not
need to use the choke.
If the engine floods push both the blue choke lever
and the decompression valve fully in. Squeeze the
throttle and press the trigger lock button to hold
the throttle open, then pull the starter handle
repeatedly until the engine fires.
BASIC TECHNIQUES
Adjust the angle of the safety guard to suit the work,
to do this, simply grasp the guard firmly and turn to the
required angle.
Adopt a comfortable, balanced stance that allows
a good view of the cut. Never use a cut-off saw
when standing on an unstable platform, or on slippery,
uneven ground.
Grasp the machine firmly with both hands and
squeeze the throttle trigger to bring the wheel up to
speed before starting the cut. Do not release the
trigger again until the saw is clear of the work.
Use the dust suppression kit to control the dust
created during the cut.
The dust suppression kit must only be used
with diamond wheels, NOT with standard
abrasive wheels.
Let the wheel and saw do the work – don't try to
force it through the material.
Keep the saw and/or work as steady as possible. Keep
the cut straight and do not allow the cutting
wheel to twist in the cut.
EQUIPMENT CARE
Never push the equipment beyond its design
limits. If it will not do what you want with reasonable
ease and speed, assume you have the wrong tool for the
job. Contact your local HSS Hire Shop for advice.
Handle the equipment with care. Avoid dropping it,
knocking it, or otherwise exposing it to damage.
Never expose the equipment to excessive
moisture, dust or dangerous/corrosive chemicals.
Keep the equipment clean. You will find this less of a
chore if you clean up regularly rather than wait until the
end of the hire period.
If working with very dusty materials, stop work
and clean the saw more frequently.
When not in use, store the equipment somewhere
clean, dry and safe from thieves.
Be sure to use the correct fuel: a 50 to 1 blend of
unleaded petrol and two-stroke oil. Never use any
other type of oil as a substitute for two-stroke oil.
FINISHING OFF
Move the ON/OFF switch into the OFF position.
Wait for the engine to stop and for the cutting
wheel to become stationary.
If the saw is not to be used again, remove the cutting
wheel by simply reversing the fitting procedure (see
Getting Started).
Finally, dust down the saw before returning it.
