Safety information
4.6.17 If you hear or feel a change in the way the machine is cutting, turn off
the engine immediately and check the cutting blade.
4.6.18 During breaks and after you finish work, turn off (14) the cut-off saw
and set it down so that the cutting blade is freestanding and cannot en-
danger anyone.
4.6.19 Do not lay the hot cutting blade on dry grass or onto combustible ob-
jects. The muffler radiates an enormous amount of heat (danger of
fire).
4.6.20 NOTICE: After a wet cutting procedure, first shut off the stream of wa-
ter and then let the cutting blade run another 30 seconds so that it can
spin off the remaining water. This prevents corrosion.
4.7
Kickback and pulling motion
4.7.1
When working with the cut-off saw, it can kick back or suddenly pull
you.
4.7.2
Kickback can occur if the upper area of the cutting blade is used for
cutting (15).
4.7.3
The cut-off saw will skid or accelerate with great force toward the op-
erator (danger of injury!).
To prevent kickback, observe the following:
4.7.4
Never use the area illustrated in Fig. 15 for cutting!
Exercise extra caution when inserting the tool into previously made
cuts!
4.7.5
A pulling motion occurs when the cut is constricted (due to a crack or
a workpiece under tension).
4.7.6
The cut-off saw will skid or accelerate forward with great force (danger
of injury!).
To prevent this pulling motion, observe the following:
4.7.7
Always insert the tool into previously made cuts and carry out the cut-
ting process at maximum speed.
