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.
To cut in pipes
WARNING: If the blade is pinched in the
kickback zone it will cause a severe
kickback.
WARNING: Make sure the pipe is properly
supported so that the end of the pipe moves
downward when cutting.
Special care should be taken when cutting in pipes. If
the pipe is not properly supported and the cut kept open
throughout the cutting the blade might be pinched. Be
especially alert when cutting a pipe with a belled end or
a pipe in a trench that, if not properly supported, may
sag and pinch the blade.
1. Secure the pipe so it does not move or roll during
cutting.

2. Cut section "I" of the pipe.

3. Ensure that the cut opens to avoid pinching.
4. Move to section "II" and cut from section I to bottom
of the pipe.
5. Move to section "III" and cut the remaining part of
the pipe ending at the bottom.
To avoid kickback
1. Always support the work piece so that the cut can
keep open when cutting through. When the cut is
open, there is no kickback. If the cut is closed and
pinches the blade, there is always a risk of kickback.
2. Be careful when you put the blade in an existing cut.
