General working instructions

WARNING! This section describes basic

!safety directions for using a power cutter. This information is never a substitute for professional skills and experience. If you get into a situation where you feel unsafe, stop and seek expert advice. Contact your dealer, service agent or an experienced power cutter user. Do not attempt any task that you feel unsure of!

Cutting technique

The technique described below is of a general character. Check information for each blade regarding individual cutting characteristics (for example, diamond blades requires less feeding pressure than an abrasive discs).

•Support the work piece in such a way that it is possible to predict what will happen, and so that the cut remains open while cutting.

•Ensure that the cutting blade is fitted correctly.

•Always hold the machine in a firm grip with both hands. Hold it so that the thumbs and fingers grip round the handles.

•Check that the blade is not in contact with anything when the machine is started

•Start cutting with the machine running at maximum speed.

•Start cutting smoothly, allowing the machine to work without forcing or pressing in the blade. Always cut at maximum speed.

•Move the blade slowly forwards and backwards to achieve a small contact area between the blade and the material to be cut. This reduces the temperature of the blade and ensures effective cutting.

•The guard for the cutting equipment should be adjusted so that the rear section is flush with the work piece. Spatter and sparks from the material being cut are then collected up by the guard and led away from the user.

•Feed down the machine in line with the blade. Pressure from the side can damage the blade and is very dangerous.

WARNING! 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.

Do not pull the power cutter to one side, this can cause the blade to jam or break resulting in injury to people.

!suddenly and violently; kicking the power cutter and cutting blade back at the user. If this happens when the cutting blade is moving it can cause very serious, even fatal injuries.
