Working Techniques

Cutting
Work calmly and carefully – in daylight
conditions and only when visibility is
good. Do not endanger others – stay
alert at all times.
The abrasive wheel must
be guided straight in the
cut, without wedging.
Never exert lateral pres-
sure on the abrasive
wheel.
Do not use for lateral
grinding or scrubbing.
Do not stand in line with the abrasive
wheel. Ensure sufficient freedom of
movement, especially in construction
trenches there must be sufficient space
for the user and for the part being cut to
fall.
Do not lean too far forwards and never
bend over the abrasive wheel.

Don not work while standing on a ladder
– not at unstable places – not over your
shoulder height – not with one hand only
– risk of accident!
The cut-off machine may only be used
for cutting. It must not be used as a lever
or shovel.
Do not press down on the cut-off
machine
Always decide the cutting direction
before positioning the cut-off machine.
Do not change the cutting direction.
Avoid knocks and bumps with the cut-off
machine while in the cut – do not drop
the machine into the cut – danger of
breakage!
Diamond abrasive wheels: If cutting
performance begins to deteriorate,
check the sharpness of the diamond
abrasive wheel, resharpen as needed.
To do this, briefly cut through abrasive
material, e. g., sandstone, aerated
concrete or asphalt.
At the end of the cut, the cut-off machine
is no longer supported by the abrasive
wheel in the cut. The user has to absorb
the weight force – risk of loss of control!
When cutting steel: glow-
ing metal particles may
cause fires!
Keep water and sludge away from alive
electrical cables – risk of electric shock!
Drag the abrasive wheel into the
workpiece – do not push it into the
material. Do not correct severing cuts
with the cut-off machine. Do not re-cut –
remove left webs or breaking edges (for
example, with a hammer).
When applying diamond-coated
abrasive wheels, take a wet cut.
Depending on the version, resin
abrasive wheels are only suitable for dry
cutting or only for wet cutting.
When using abrasive wheels made from
synthetic resin, which are suited for wet
cuts only, take such wet cuts only.
When using abrasive wheels made from
synthetic resin, which are suited for dry
cuts only, take such dry cuts only. If
however composite resin abrasive
wheels of this type become wet, their
cutting performance is reduced and they
become dull. If composite resin abrasive
wheels of this type become wet while
working (e. g., due to puddles or water in
pipes), do not increase the cutting
pressure, but continue working with the
same pressure – risk of breakage! Use
up such composite resin abrasive
wheels immediately.
