Work area safety
WARNING! The safety distance for the
!
power cutter is 50 feet (15 metres). You
are responsible to ensure that animals
and onlookers are not within the working
area. Do not start cutting until the
working area is clear and you are
standing firmly.
• Observe your surroundings to ensure that nothing can
affect your control of the machine.
• Ensure that no one/nothing can come into contact with
the cutting equipment or be hit by parts thrown by the
blade.
• Do not use the machine in bad weather, such as
dense fog, heavy rain, strong wind, intense cold, etc.
Working in bad weather is tiring and can lead to
dangerous conditions, e.g. slippery surfaces.
• Never start to work with the machine before the
working area is clear and you have a firm foothold.
Look out for any obstacles with unexpected
movement. Ensure when cutting that no material can

become loose and fall, causing injury to the
operator.Take great care when working on sloping
ground.
• Ensure that the working area is sufficiently illuminated
to create a safe working environment.
• Make sure that no pipes or electrical cables are routed
in the working area or in the material to be cut.
• If cutting into a container (drum, pipe, or other
container) you must first make sure it does not contain
flammable or other volatile material.
Basic working techniques
!
• 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
adjustments".
• 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.
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 or 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.
