General Working Instructions - Husqvarna K650 Cut-n-Break Operator's Manual

General working instructions

IMPORTANT! This section describes basic safety directions
for using a power cutter. This information is never a
substitute for professional skills and experience. If you get
into a situation where you feel unsafe, stop and seek expert
advice. Contact your dealer, service agent or an
experienced power cutter user. Do not attempt any task that
you feel unsure of!
Water cooling
Water cooling must always be used. This cools the blades and
increases their life and prevents dust build-up.
There is a restrictor in the water hose that reduces the water
flow.
At a low water pressure, for example when the water tank is
used, the restrictor can be dismantled to give the correct
water flow.
CAUTION! It is important not to use a too high water flow
without throttling as the belt can then slip.
Cutting technique
• 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.
• Always hold the machine in a firm grip with both hands.
Hold it so that the thumbs and fingers grip round the
handles.
• Check that the blades are not in contact with anything
when the machine is started.
• Start cutting with the machine running at maximum
speed.
• Start cutting gradually, let the machine work without
forcing or pressing the blades. Always cut at maximum
speed.
• 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".
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Always cut from top to bottom. 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).
• 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.
