SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! A safe distance from the cut-off
saw is 15 metres. You are responsible that
animals and onlookers are not in the working
area. Do not start to work with the cut-off saw
before the working area is clear and you
have a firm foothold.
• Start cutting with the engine at full throttle.
• Always hold the cut-off saw firmly, with both hands.
Hold the machine so that the thumb and fingers grip
around the handle.
Cutting
!
!
Over exposure to vibrations can result in
blood-vessel or nerve injury to persons
suffering with blood circulation problems.
Seek medical attention if you experience
physical symptoms that can be related to over
exposure to vibrations. Examples of such
symptoms are numbness, lack of feeling,
“tickling“, “pricking“, pain lack of or a
reduction in normal strength, changes in the
colour of the skin or its surfaces. These
symptoms normally appear in the fingers,
hands or wrists.

Cutting technique
The technique described be-
low is of a general character.
1.Support the work piece
in such a way that you
can predict what will
happen and so it will not
pinch.
2.Always cut at full throttle.
3.Start cutting gently, do
not force or squeeze the
chain in.
4.Use a high chain speed.
5. Move the chain slowly
backwards and forwards.
WARNING!
Under all circumstances avoid cutting using
the side of the chain; it will almost certainly
be damaged, break and can cause immense
damage. Only use the cutting section.
WARNING!
Do not lean the saw to the side, this can
cause the chain to jam or break with personal
injury as a consequence.
Using
Wet cutting
The diamond chain saw must always be run with water cooling.
Dry cutting causes immediate overheating and bar and chain
failure with a risk of personal injury. In addition to cooling the
bar and chain, the flow of water pushes particles away from the
bar and the drive links. As a result it is important with a high
water pressure. The water pressure should be at least 2.5 bar
and a maximum of 11 bar. The recommended pressure is
approx. 5 bar.
Working speed
Under normal conditions the machine should run at full throttle.
The feed pressure is adjusted so that the speed drops to
approx. 20–30 % under maximum speed; this gives the best
cutting efficiency and economy.
WARNING!
Never start the saw without the complete bar
and chain fitted.
