Basic Operation; Cutting Technique - Shindaiwa FVS-423/M Bedienungsanleitung

Basic operation

When you cut the object in a downward direction, hold the product firmly at the end of cutting.
You break the balance by losing the power to hold the product and it causes serious injury by touching the wheel.
Dust suppression
Do not use with wheels that are not designed to be used with water flush cutting.
Doing so may damage the wheel while it is being used.

Operation
1. Squeeze and release trigger to unlatch it and take control of
the throttle.
2. Let engine warm to operating temperature before doing any
cutting.
3. Take cutting stance on left side of saw. Never get any part of
your body behind the saw. Hold the saw firmly with both
hands. Throttle up to cutting speed and make gentle wheel
contact with the work.
∗ Do all cutting at full throttle speed. Cutting at less than full
speed can damage the clutch by allowing it to slip. Accelerat-
ing from slow to full speed while the wheel is in cutting contact
may cause a violent push or pull reaction resulting in loss of
control.
1. Use water-flush cutting when doing work that generates a lot
of dust, such as cutting concrete.
2. Attach a water hose with a coupler on it to the joint of the en-
gine cut-off saw.
3. Make sure the liquid cock is in the closed position before
turning the water faucet on.
4. Adjust the water flow with the liquid cock.
5. After cutting, turn off the water and let the wheel spin itself
dry.
IMPORTANT
Make sure there are no water leaks before use.
Use as little water as possible to sufficiently suppress gen-
eration of dust.
The main objectives are to avoid overheating the wheel, and
to prevent it from being pinched or trapped or stressed in any
way.
1. Adjust position of wheel guard to direct the discharge away
from you.
2. Prepare to make straight cuts only. Use a snapline to mark
long cuts, and follow the marked line carefully.
3. Take a balanced, comfortable stance on the left side of the
saw. Hold saw firmly with both hands.
