Checks after starting the engine
1. Check that the cutting disc remains stationary when the engine is idling and, after briefly running at full
speed, that the disc again comes to a complete standstill.
▶ Readjust (reduce) the idling speed if the cutting disc doesn't stop rotating when the engine is idling.
If this is not possible, please bring the product to Hilti Service.
2. Check that the run/stop switch is functioning correctly. Move the run/stop switch to the "stop" position.
3. If the engine doesn't stop, compress the primer bulb. If the engine still doesn't stop, pull the spark plug
connector off the spark plug and bring the product to Hilti Service.

Types of work
6.1
Cutting techniques
There is a risk of kickback if the gasoline-powered saw comes into contact with the working surface in the
area indicated.
Kickback is the result of product misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions. To prevent
kickback, follow the safety instructions and the instructions for use below.
▶ Do not bring the accessory tool into contact with the working surface in the area marked.
▶ Allow the gasoline-powered saw to reach full speed before starting the cut.
▶ Apply pressure to the product so that the accessory tool enters the material slowly.
▶ Apply moderate pressure, adjusting the rate of advance to suit the material being cut.
A decrease in the rate of cutting progress may be an indication of blunt/dull ("polished") diamond
segments. The diamond segments can be resharpened by making a few cuts in an abrasive
material (Hilti sharpening plate or sand-lime block).
▶ Guide the gasoline-powered saw smoothly and without applying lateral pressure to the cutting disc.
▶ Always hold the gasoline-powered saw and the saw trolley firmly with both hands on the grips provided.
Keep the grips dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
▶ Make sure there is no-one in the working area and, in particular, in the direction in which the cut is to be
made. Keep everyone approx. 15 m away from your workplace.
6.2
Avoiding stalling
If the cutting disc binds, the product tends to pull away from the operator.
