Partner K3600 MKII Operator's Manual page 8

• 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.
• Check that the blade is not in contact with anything when
the machine is started.
• Always cut at maximum speed.
• Start cutting gradually, let the machine work without
forcing or pressing the blade.
• 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.
• Feed the machine in line with the blade. Side pressure can
destroy the blade and is extremely dangerous.
WARNING! Under all circumstances avoid
!
cutting with the side of the blade, as this will
definitely result in damage, breakage or can
cause serious injuries. Only use the cutting
section.
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
K3600 MKII 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.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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.
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.
