•
Use a small part of the blade's cutting area.
•
Feed the machine in line with the blade. Side pressure can
destroy the blade and is extremely dangerous.
WARNING! Do not pull the power cutter to
!
one side, this can cause the blade to jam or
break resulting in injury to people.
Cutting depth
K950 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.
Small work
First make a shallow marking cut, max 50-70 mm (2-3 inches)
in depth. Now make the final cut.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Cutting sequence
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.
CAUTION! If the upper horizontal cut is made before the
lower horizontal cut, the work piece will fall on the blade and
jam it.
How to avoid kickback

from an object when the upper quadrant of the blade, known
as the kickback zone, touches an object.
Kickback only occurs when the cutting blades kickback zone
