Use and care
•
Check that the blade guard is not damaged and that it
has been fitted correctly.
•
Never use blades other than original blades designed
for the machine. Check with your Husqvarna dealer to
see which blades are best suited for your usage.
•
Never use a damaged or worn blade.
•
Never mount or dismount the blade or blade guard
without first pulling out the power cable running to the
saw unit.
•
Never pull out the power cable without first switching
off the power pack and waiting for the engine to come
to a complete halt.
•
Never cut without using the blade guard.
•
Check that the blade is not in contact with anything
when the machine is started.
•
Remain at a distance from the blade when the engine
is running.
•
Water cooling must always be used. This cools the
blades and increases their life and prevents dust build-
up.
•
Check that all couplings, connections and cables are
intact and free from dirt.
•
Clearly mark out all cuts to be made before you start
sawing, plan these so they can be carried out without
danger to persons or the machine.
•
Firmly secure or anchor concrete blocks before
cutting. The heavy weight of cut material can cause
both extensive damage to the machine and serious
personal injury if it cannot be moved under controlled
conditions.
•
Do not saw where there is risk of the block falling onto
the blade. A block falling onto a rotating blade can
cause damage to the machine as well as personal
injury. Use wedges or the like to prevent the block
falling when sawing.
•
Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for your
application. The correct tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it was designed.

OPERATING
Transport and storage
•
The entire system is supplied on a compact and
efficient transport trolley. The transport trolley is
designed so that all parts may be removed individually
and mounted on the trolley. If it is possible to drive the
transport trolley all the way to the workplace, the
power unit may be left on the trolley for protection.
•
Always switch of the power pack and pull out the
electric cable before moving the equipment.
•
Dismount the blade and blade guard before transport
and storage.
•
Store the equipment in a lockable area so that it is out
of reach of children and unauthorized persons.
•
If there is a risk of freezing, the machine must be
drained of any remaining water coolant.
•
The transport trolley's handles may be used as
runners when lifting it on to truck beds etc., by resting
the handles on the bed and then pushing the trolley
into it.
Before sawing
Get in touch with the site manager to run through the work
involved and setting out of the sawing work. Check
whether overcutting corners is allowed.
Make sure there are no gas, electric or pipelines within the
saw area.
If there is any risk of this, the area must always be
detected for each cut in order to ensure no lines are
damaged.
Also check with the site manager that there is no work
being carried out adjacent to the area to be cut. Secure
and cordon off the saw area with a safety distance of at
least 4 m and make sure people and materials do not get
damaged when sawing.
Make sure the cut out block can easily be taken care of;
split it into smaller sections so it is easier to take away.
Check the locations of suitable electric and water supplies
before starting work. Install suitable work lighting if
necessary.
Make sure the working area is clean and well organized
so that the work can be carried out in a safe manner and
that flushing water can be taken care of.
Blades
If you change blades to cut deeper in the same cut, make
sure the thickness of the blade matches the width of the
groove.
