13. Press the throttle as soon as the motor starts.
This disengages the half-throttle position and
the choke (if previously engaged), and the motor
then runs at idling speed when the throttle is
released.
7.2 Cutting techniques
DANGER
Always hold the saw and the saw carriage securely
with both hands on the grips provided. Keep the
grips dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
DANGER
Check that no persons are present within the work-
ing area and, in particular, in the area ahead of the
saw (in the cutting direction).
DANGER
Guide the machine evenly and do not apply lat-
eral pressure to the cutting disc. Always bring the
machine into contact with the workpiece at right
angles. Don’t attempt to alter the line of cut by
applying lateral pressure or by bending the cutting
disc while cutting is in progress.
This presents a
risk of damaging or breaking the cutting disc.
CAUTION
Secure the workpiece and the part to be cut off in
order to prevent uncontrolled movement.
NOTE
Always apply full throttle when cutting.
NOTE
Avoid making excessively deep cuts. Cutting through
thick workpieces should be accomplished, as far as
possible, by making a several cuts.
7.2.1 Avoiding stalling
8
CAUTION
Avoid applying excessive pressure when cutting
and don’t allow the cutting disc to stick and stall.
Don’t attempt to cut to great depth immediately.
Application of excessive pressure increases the risk
of cutting disc distortion. Allowing the cutting disc to
stick or stall increases the probability of kickback or
disc breakage.
CAUTION
Support slabs or large workpieces so that the kerf
remains open during the cutting operation.
7.2.2 Avoiding kickback
9
CAUTION
Always bring the machine into contact with the
workpiece from above. Allow the cutting disc to
contact the workpiece only at a point below its
rotational axis.
CAUTION
Take special care when inserting the cutting disc in
an existing kerf.
7.3 Stopping the motor
WARNING
If the motor cannot be stopped by operating the on
/ off switch, the motor must be stopped, if need be,
by pulling the choke lever.
WARNING
Do not lay the machine down until the cutting disc
has stopped rotating. The machine must always be
stored and transported in an upright position.
1. Release the throttle trigger.
2. Move the start / stop switch to the “stop” posi-
tion.
8. Care and maintenance
WARNING
Set the switch to “stop” before carrying out any
maintenance or repairs and before cleaning the
machine.
8.1 Maintenance
8.1.1 Each day before use
Check that the machine is complete and in faultless
condition. Have it repaired if necessary.
Check the machine for leakage. Have it repaired if
necessary.
