Husqvarna K760 Cut-n-Break Manuel D'utilisation page 14

Starting or enlarging the cut
When the cut is started or you start to cut deeperand the
blades are put into the material at the top it is necessary
for a brief time to engage the kickback zone in the cutting.
Follow the rules on holding the saw listed here:
• Push the cutting blades straight in and down once
desired depth has been reach.
• Do not cut upwards or push the cutting blades
upwards as the reactive forces will try to push the saw
back at you and in worst case scenario the saw can be
pushed back far enough to a kcikback to develop.
Managing dust
The machine is fitted with DEX (Dust Extinguisher), a low
flushing water kit that offers maximum dust suppression.
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.
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.

OPERATING
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.
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.
• Never cut upwards or towards you so that the kickback
zone becomes actively cutting.
