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!
!
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.
Before entering an existing slot made by
another blade, check that the s lot is not
thinner than your blade as that may result in
binding in the cutting slot and a kickback.
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.
