Basic working techniques

WARNING: Do not pull the power cutter to
one side. This can cause the blade to jam or
break, resulting in injury.
WARNING: Do not grind with the side of the
blade. Grinding causes breaks or damage.
Only use the cutting section.
WARNING: Before entering an existing slot
made by another blade, check that the slot
is not thinner than your blade as that may
result in binding in the cutting slot and a
kickback.
WARNING: Never use a diamond blade to
cut plastic material. The heat produced
during cutting may melt the plastic and it can
stick to the cutting blade and cause a
kickback.
WARNING: Cutting metal generates sparks
that may cause fire. Do not use the product
near ignitable substances or gases.
WARNING: Cutting metal is not allowed with
the Vac attachment.

OPERATION

• Check that the cutting blade is fitted correctly and
does not show signs of damage. See
on page 9 for instructions.
• Check that the correct cutting blade is used for the
application in question. See
9 for instructions.
• Never cut asbestos materials!
• Hold the saw with both hands; keep a firm grip with
thumbs and fingers encircling the handles. The right
hand should be on the rear handle and the left hand
on the front handle. All operators, whether right or
left handed shall use this grip. Never operate a
power cutter holding it with only one hand.
• Stand parallel to the cutting blade. Avoid standing
straight behind. In the event of a kickback the saw
will move in the plane of the cutting blade.
• If the blade is binding in the cut or when aborting a
cut, release the throttle and wait untill the blade
stops. Do not extract the blade from the cut while the
blade is in motion otherwise kickback may occur.
