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" markings. Diamond discs should be used only
for cutting metal.
-Cutoff discs are intended only for radial loading, i.e. for cutting. Never use the side of the disc for grinding (1O)!
Caution!
Never change direction (turning radius less than 16.5 feet (5 meters), exert lateral (sideways) pressure, or tip the Power Cut during cutting (1 l)!
-Use a cutting disc only for cutting the materials it is intended for. The proper type of disc must be used, for either metals or masonry.
-The arbour hole (bore) of the cutting disc mustfit the shaft exactly. If the arbour hole is larger than the shaft diameter, a spacer ring must be used.
-Use only cutting discs approved by the DSA (German Abrasive Disc Committee) or equivalent organization for freehand cutting at up to 4370 RPM for 14" (350 mm) discs (= 80 m/sec. at circumference) or up to 5100 RPM for 12"(300 mm) discs (= 80 mlsec.).
-The disc must be free of defects (12). Make sure by sound testing with a piece of wood. Do not use defective cutting discs.
Always tighten the cutting disc mounting bolt to a torque of 30 Nm. Otherwise, the cutting disc can twist.
Before starting the Power Cut, make sure you have a steady footing.
Putthe PowerCut intooperation onlyasdescribed inthisowner's manual (13).Placeyourrightfoot inthe rear handleandgraspthe other handle firmly (with thumb and fingers). Other starting methods are not allowed.
When starting the Power Cut it must be well supported and securely held. The cutting disc must not be touching anything.
If the cutting disc is new, test it by running it at least 60 seconds at top speed. When doing this, make sure that no persons or body parts are in the extended swing range of the disc, in case it is defective and flies apart.
When working with the Power Cut always hold it with both hands.Take the back handle with the right hand and the tubular handle with the left hand. Hold the handles tightly with your thumbs facing your fingers.
CAUTION: When you release the throttle lever the disc will keepspinningforashort periodof time
Continuously ensure that you have a safe footing.
Holdthe Power Cut such that you will not breathe in the exhaust gas. Do not work in closed rooms or in deep holes or ditches (danger of poisoning by fumes).
Switch off the Power Cut immediately if you observe any changes in its operating behavior.
Always switch the engine off before checking the
Turn off the engine immediately and check the disc if you hear or feel any change in cutting behaviour.
Turn off the Power Cut when taking a break or stopping work (14). Place the unit in such a way that the disc is not touching anything and cannot endanger anyone.
Do not put the overheated Power Cut in dry grass or on any inflammable objects. The muffler is very hot (danger of fire). IMPORTANT: After wet cutting, first turn off the water feed and then let the disc run at least 30 seconds, to fling off the remaining water and prevent corrosion.
