SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Steps before using a new power cutter • Please read the operator’s manual carefully and make sure you understand the instructions before using the machine. • The machine is only designed for cutting hard materials, such as concrete, brick, masonry as well as cast iron and cement pipes. • Let your Husqvarna dealer regularly check the power cutter and make essential adjustments and repairs.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS General safety warnings ! WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electrtic shock, fire and/or serious injury. Electrical safety • Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Personal safety Power tool use and care • • Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed. • Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Cutting blades ! Blade vibration WARNING! A cutting blade may burst and cause injury to the operator. Never use a cutting blade at a lower speed rating than that of the power cutter. Never use a cutting blade for any other materials than that it was intended for. General • Cutting blades are available in two basic designs; abrasive discs and diamond blades. The blade can become out-of-round and vibrate if an excessive feed pressure is used.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Diamond blades ! Dry cutting with diamond blade WARNING! Cutting plastics with a diamond blade can cause kickback when the material melts due to the heat produced when cutting and sticks to the blade. ! When dry cutting, lift the blade out from the cut every 30–60 seconds and let it rotate in the air for 10 seconds to let it cool. Diamond blades consist of a steel body provided with segments that contain industrial diamonds.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS General working instructions ! WARNING! This section describes basic safety directions for using a power cutter. This information is never a substitute for professional skills and experience. If you get into a situation where you feel unsafe, stop and seek expert advice. Contact your dealer, service agent or an experienced power cutter user.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 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.
ASSEMBLY Assembly ! WARNING! Always pull out the plug from the outlet socket before cleaning, maintenance or assembly. Checking the drive axle and flange washers Check that the threads on the drive shaft are undamaged. Check that the contact surfaces on the blade and the flange washers are undamaged, of the correct dimension, clean, and that they run properly on the drive axle.
