Basic working techniques

WARNING: Do not pull the product to one
side. This can prevent the free movement of
the cutting blade. The cutting blade can
break and cause injury to the operator or
bystanders.
WARNING: Do not grind with the side of the
cutting blade. The cutting blade can break
and cause injury to the operator or
bystanders. Only use the cutting edge.
WARNING: Make sure that the cutting blade
is fitted correctly and does not show signs of
damage.
WARNING: Make sure that the blade guard,
the blade guard extender and the dust shield
are correctly attached before you start the
product. The blade guard extender and the
dust shield must always move freely. Do not
use the product if the blade guard, blade
guard extender or dust shield are missing or
defective.
WARNING: Before entering an existing slot
made by another blade, check that the slot
is not thinner than your blade as that may
result in binding in the cutting slot and a
kickback.
WARNING: A diamond blade becomes very
hot during dry cutting. The blade need to be
cooled regularly to avoid overheating.
During overheating there is a risk of core
cracking and blade bursting, or loss of
tensioning and wobbling with risk of
kickback. To cool the blade by air, allow it to
run free at no load.

Operation

• Maintain a safe distance from the cutting blade when
the engine is running. Do not try to stop a rotating
blade with any part of your body.
• 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, whether right or
left handed shall use this grip. Never operate a
power cutter holding it with only one hand.
• Stand parallel to the cutting blade. Avoid standing
straight behind. In the event of a kickback the saw
will move in the plane of the cutting blade.
• Never move the product when the cutting equipment
is rotating. Make sure that the blade has come to
complete stop before the product is put on the
ground.
• Never leave the machine unsupervised with the
motor running.
• Keep a good balance and a firm foothold.
• Before entering an existing slot made by another
blade, check that the slot is not thinner than your
blade as that may result in binding in the cutting slot
and a kickback.
• Never cut above shoulder height.
• Never cut from a ladder. Use a platform or scaffold if
the cut is above shoulder height. Do not overreach.
