• 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.
• Repeat this working method until the required cutting
depth is achieved (D, E).
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• The blade guards are designed to easily adapt to how
deep in the work piece the power cutter is moved.
WARNING! Do not pull the power cutter to

one side, this can cause the blades to jam or
break resulting in personal injury.
Kickback
Kickback is a sudden, rearward motion of the saw that can
occur if the blades are stalled (pinched, jammed, twisted) in
the so called kickback zone. Most kickbacks are small and felt
as small "jerks" in the front handle. However, kickback can be
very powerful. If you are not paying attention or have a poor
grip the saw can be thrown all the way back at you.
WARNING! Kickback can be very sudden
!
and viloent, throwing the saw back at you. It
can cause serious or even fatal injuries. It is
vital you understand what causes kickback
and how to aviod it using proper cutting
techique.
Cause of kickback
Kickback is caused if you are cutting with the kickback zone
of the blade for example when cutting "upwards" or towards
you.
