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 to people.

Under all circumstances avoid grinding using the side of the blade; it will almost certainly be damaged, break and can cause immense damage. Only use the cutting section.

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.

Cutting metal generates sparks that may cause fire. Do not use the machine near ignitable substances or gases.

• The machine is designed and intended for cutting with abrasive blades or diamond blades intended for high speed handheld machines. The machine shall not be used with any other type of blade, or for any other type of cutting.

• Check that the cutting blade is fitted correctly and does not show signs of damage. See the instructions in the sections "Cutting blades" and "Assembly and settings".

• Check that the correct cutting blade is used for the application in question. See instructions in the section "Cutting blades".

• 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, weather 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.
