  • Page 7: Cutting Discs

    Never cut any type of wood. Reactive forces can cause severe personal injury from blade contact or thrown tips. NOTE: When using diamond cutoff discs, always make sure to observe the "direction of rotation" markings. Diamond discs should only be used for cutting masonry/brick/ concrete etc.
  • Page 8: Kickback And Lock-In

    Kickback and lock-in When working with the Fast-Cut there is a danger of kickback and lock-in. Kickback occurs when the top of the cutting disc is used for cutting (15). This causes the Fast-Cut to be thrown back toward the user with great force and out of control.

  • Page 18: Starting The Engine

    Starting the engine necessary This model is fitted with a semiautomatic decompression valve (1) to make starting easier. Press the rubber cover until you can feel it engage. This pushes in the deompression valve behind it. This in turn reduces the compression, so that it takes less force to pull the starter cord to accelerate the engine to its starting speed.
  • Page 19: Cold-Starting

    cold starting: Grasp front handle firmly with one hand and press the Fast‑Cut against the ground. Place left toe in the rear handguard. Push the combination switch (6) up (choke position).
