General rules
•
Never start to cut with the upper quadrant of the blade as
shown in the figure, also known as the kickback zone.
•
Always hold the machine in a firm grip with both hands.
Hold it so that the thumbs and fingers grip round the
handles.
•
Keep a good balance and a firm foothold.
•
Always cut at maximum speed.
•
Stand at a comfortable distance from the work piece.
•
Take care when inserting the blade in an existing cut.
•
Never cut above shoulder height.
•
Be alert to movement of the work piece or anything else
that can occur, which could cause the cut to close and
pinch the blade.
Pull in
Pull in occurs when the disc's lower section suddenly stops or
when the cut closes. (To avoid, see the heading "Basic rules"
and "Jamming/rotation", here below.)
Pinching/rotation
If the cut is pressed together this can lead to jamming. The
machine can be pulled down suddenly with a very powerful
jerk.
How to avoid pinching
Support the work piece in such a way that the cut remains
open during the cutting operation and when the cut is
finished.
