SAFETY PRECAUTIONS General precautions The operator MUST read this instruction manual to ensure safe operation (even if you already have experience in using cutoff saws). It is important to be familiar with the operation of this particular cutoff saw. Users insufficiently informed will endanger themselves as well as others due to improper handling.
Always wear safety shoes or boots (G) with steel toes, non-skid soles, and leg protectors when working with the SpeediCut. Safety shoes equipped with a protective layer provide protection against cuts and ensure a secure footing. Always wear a work suit (H) of sturdy material. Fuels / Refuelling Go to a safe, level place before refuelling.
Cutoff discs The protection hood must always be on! Change discs only with the engine off! There are two basic types of cutoff discs: - For metal (hot cutting) - For masonry (cold cutting) NOTE: When using diamond cutoff discs, always make sure to observe the “direction of rotation”...
Kickback and lock-in When working with the SpeediCut 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 SpeediCut to be thrown back toward the user with great force and out of control.
Cutting metals IMPORTANT! Always wear approved respiratory protection! Materials that can release toxic substances may be cut only after notifying the proper authorities and under their supervi- sion or that of a person appointed by them. CAUTION! The rapid rotation of the cutting disc heats metal and melts it at the point of contact.
In wet cutting, the disc is wetted at an equal rate on both sides by a trickle of water. Diamond Products offers the right accessories for all wet cutting applications. Remove foreign objects such as sand, stones and nails found within the working area.
All other work must be carried out by Diamond Products Service. Use only original Diamond Products spares and accessories. The use of non-Diamond Products spares, accessories, or cutting discs increases the risk of accident. We cannot accept...
PUTTING INTO OPERATION CAUTION: Always turn off the engine and pull off the spark plug cap STOP before doing any work on the SpeediCut! Always wear protective gloves! CAUTION: Start the SpeediCut only after complete assembly and inspection. For the the following work, use the assembly tools included with delivery: 1.
Tightening the V-belt / Checking V-belt tension IMPORTANT STOP Exact V-belt tension is essential for maximum cutting performance with minimum fuel consumption. Improper V-belt tension will result in premature wear to the V-belt and V-belt wheel or damage to the clutch bearing. NOTE: The two fastening nuts (11) must be loosened before tightening the V-belt or checking the tension.
NOTE: For preparing the fuel-oil mixture first mix the entire oil quantity with half of the fuel required, then add the remaining fuel. Shake the finished mixture thoroughly before pouring it into the SpeediCut tank. Caution: Open the tank cap carefully, as pressure might have built up inside! AVOID SKIN AND EYE CONTACT It is not wise to add more engine oil than specified to...
CAUTION: Observe the SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS on page 5! Start the SpeediCut only after complete assembly and inspection! Move at least 10 ft. away from the place where you fueled 10 Feet the SpeediCut. Make sure you have a good footing, and place the SpeediCut on the ground in such a way that the cutting disc is not touching anything.
Stopping the engine Push the combination switch (1) down to position STOP Working in winter In conditions of low temperatures and high humidity the carburetor can ice up. To prevent this, at temperatures below 32° F / 0° C hot air from the cylinder chamber can be inducted. This also brings the engine to operating temperature faster.
Adjusting the carburetor NOTE: The grinding parts are equipped with an electronic Set the idling speed with a screwdriver (width of blade: 3/16"). ignition to limit the speed. The carburetor also has a fixed The screwdriver shown has a molded-on lug to assist in jet which cannot be adjusted.
Cleaning the protection hood Over time, the inside of the protective hood can become caked with material residue (especially from wet cutting), which if allowed to accumulate can hinder the free rotation of the STOP cutting disc. For this reason the hood must be cleaned out from time to time.
Foam prefilter and inner filter IMPORTANT: Do not use fuel to clean the foam prefilter and inner filter! If the foam prefilter (1) and inner filter (2) are dirty, wash them with dishwashing liquid in lukewarm water. Dry thoroughly! NOTE: Under very dusty conditions it will be necessary to clean the foam prefilter daily.
Checking the ignition spark Insert the combination wrench (9) between the hood and cylinder only as shown. CAUTION! Do not insert the combination tool into the spark plug hole, but make contact only with the cylinder (otherwise you may damage the engine). Using insulated pliers, hold the spark plug (10) (unscrewed but with the plug cap on) against the combination tool (away from the spark plug hole!).
Guide the cable into the recess (22) on the cable drum and use the cable to turn the drum two turns in the direction shown by the arrow. Holding the cable drum in your left hand, straighten out the twist in the cable with your right hand, pull the cable tight, and hold.
Cutting attachment in central / side position NOTE: The SpeediCut is delivered with the cutting attachment mounted in the middle position (C). For cutting up against obstacles, such as curbs or walls, the cutting attachment can be mounted to one side (D). Use this position only when actually necessary, and afterwards return the cutting attachment to the middle position.
