General working instructions

WARNING! This section describes basic
!
safety directions for using a power
cutter. This information is never a
substitute for professional skills and
experience. If you get into a situation
where you feel unsafe, stop and seek
expert advice. Contact your dealer,
service agent or an experienced power
cutter user. Do not attempt any task that
you feel unsure of!
Water cooling
Water cooling must always be used.
At a low water pressure, for example when the water tank
is used, the restrictor can be dismantled to give the
correct water flow.
NOTE!
It is important not to use a too high water flow without
throttling as the belt can then slip.
Cutting technique
• Support the work piece in such a way that it is possible
to predict what will happen, and so that the cut
remains open while cutting.
• Always hold the machine in a firm grip with both
hands. Hold it so that the thumbs and fingers grip
round the handles.
• Check that the blade is not in contact with anything
when the machine is started
• Start cutting with the machine running at maximum
speed.
• Start cutting smoothly, allowing the machine to work
without forcing or pressing in the blade. Always cut at
maximum speed.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Cut in the same direction when cutting into an existing
cut. Avoid cutting at an angle to the previous cut
otherwise there is a risk of the blade jamming or that
the machine can "climb in the cut".
• Always cut from top to bottom (A).
• Remove the cutter and use a crowbar to remove the
material that remains between the cut (B).
• 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.
