Managing dust
Water cooling must always be used. Dry cutting causes
immediate overheating and machine and cutting blade
failure with a risk of personal injury.
Adjust water flow using the tap to bind the cutting dust.
The volume of water required varies depending on the
type of job at hand.
If water hoses loosen from their supply sources, this
indicates that the machine is connected to a water
pressure that is too high. See instructions under the
"Technical data" heading for recommended water
pressure.
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 machine.
Kickback is the sudden upward motion that can occur if
the blade 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 machine in the opposite direction to the blade
rotation. Most of the time this force is insignificant. If the
blade is pinched or stalled the reactive force will be strong
and you might not be able to control the power cutter.
Never move the machine when the cutting equipment is
rotating. Gyroscopic forces can obstruct the intended
movement.

OPERATING
Kickback zone
Never use the kickback zone of the blade for cutting. If
the blade 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 blade to climb up in the cut. Do not use the
kickback zone. Use the lower quadrant of the blade to
avoid climbing kickback.
Pinching kickback
Pinching is when the cut closes and pinches the blade. If
the blade is pinched or stalled the reactive force will be
strong and you might not be able to control the power
cutter.
If the blade 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. Be alert for potential movement of the
work piece. If the work piece is not properly supported
and shifts as you cut, it might pinch the blade and cause
a kick back.
