With proper use and storage, this cutting blade can be used up to and

4.10 Cutting metals
NOTICE!
Wear proper breathing protection!
Materials that could discharge toxins may only be cut after notifying the
responsible authorities and under their supervision or that of persons
charged with this duty.
CAUTION!
The quick rotation of the cutting blade heats and melts metals at the
contact point. As far from the cut as possible (behind it), swivel the pro-
tective hood down (19) to divert flying sparks away from the operator
(greater danger of fire!).
4.10.1 Determine and mark the cutting direction and bring the cutting blade
into contact with the material, rotating at average speed. After cutting
a guide groove you can work at full throttle and higher pressure.
4.10.2 Cut only in the vertical or horizontal direction, not at an angle, which
can break the blade.
4.10.3 The best way to achieve a square, smooth cut is to pull or reciprocate
the cut-off saw. Do not "push" the cutting blade into the material.
