when the cut is 270 mm (10,6 inches) in depth, is much
quicker.
Large work
Cuts exceeding 1 m - secure a batten along the line to be
cut. The batten acts as a guide. Use this guide to make a
marking cut along the entire length of the cut, 50-70 mm
(2-3 inches) in depth. Remove the guides once the
marking cut has been made.
Small work
First make a shallow marking cut, max 50-70 mm (2-3
inches) in depth. Now make the final cut.
Cutting holes
NOTICE! If the upper horizontal cut is made before the
lower horizontal cut, the work piece will fall on the blade
and jam it.
•
First make the lower horizontal cut. Now make the two
vertical cuts. Finish with the upper horizontal cut.

When cutting out large holes it is important that the piece
to be cut out is braced so that it cannot fall against the
operator.
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.
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.
