Husqvarna K 970 Ring Operator's Manual page 16

• Feed the machine in line with the blade. Side pressure can
destroy the blade and is extremely dangerous.
• Move the blade slowly backwards and forwards to give a
small contact surface between the blade and material to
be cut. This will mean the blade temperature is kept down
resulting in efficient cutting.
Cutting depth
K 970 Ring can cut up to a depth of 260 mm (10 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 260 mm (10
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.

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.
