Operation
Kickback
WARNING: Kickbacks are sudden and can
be very violent. The power cutter can be
thrown up and back towards the user in a
rotating motion causing serious or even fatal
injury. It is vital to understand what causes
kickback and how to avoid it before using
the product.
Kickback is the sudden upward motion that can occur if
the diamond chain is pinched or stalled in the kickback
zone. Most kickbacks are small and pose little danger.
However a kickback can also be very violent and throw
the power cutter up and back towards the user in a
rotating motion causing serious or even fatal injury.
Reactive force
A reactive force is always present when cutting. The
force pulls the product in the opposite direction to the
diamond chain rotation. Most of the time this force is
insignificant. If the diamond chain is pinched or stalled,
the reactive force will be strong and you might not be
able to control the power cutter.
Never move the product when the cutting equipment is
rotating. Gyroscopic forces can obstruct the intended
movement
Kickback zone
Never use the kickback zone of the guide bar for cutting.
If the diamond chain is pinched or stalled in the kickback
zone, the reactive force will push the power cutter up
and back towards the user in a rotating motion causing
serious or even fatal injury.
Climbing kickback
If the kickback zone is used for cutting, the reactive
force drives the guide bar with the diamond chain to
climb up in the cut. Do not use the kickback zone. Use
