Operating
WARNING
Kickback hazard
Kickback of the machine and cutting blade can
happen very suddenly, when using the upper
quadrant of the cutting blade. This can result in
serious injuries or death.
Never use the upper quadrant of the cutting blade
►
when operating the machine.
Operation
Stand in a stable position and hold the concrete
♦
saw firmly with both hands.
Stand in such a way that the body is clear of the
♦
cutting attachment. Avoid standing in direct line
with the blade.
♦
Start cutting with the machine running at
maximum speed.
Cutting
♦
Support the work piece in such a way that
pinching does not take place and so that the cut
remains open while cutting.
Check that the blade is not in contact with
♦
anything when the concrete saw is started.
Ease the blade into the material being cut, never
♦
force the blade in.
♦
Move the blade slowly backwards and forwards,
using a small part of the blade's cutting edge.
This reduces the temperature of the blade and
ensures effective cutting.
♦
Be alert to movement of the work piece. Never
cut above shoulder height.
Feed down the concrete saw in line with the
♦
blade. Pressure from the side can damage the
blade and is very dangerous.
