3.2 Intended use
The product described is a gasoline-powered cut-off saw for the wet or dry cutting of asphalt, mineral
construction materials or metals using diamond cutting discs or abrasive cutting discs.
The saw is not suitable for use in environments where there is risk of fire or explosion.
3.3 Possible misuse
▶ "Shoveling" with the gasoline-powered saw is not permissible.
3.4 Instructions for use
•
Use of the wet cutting method is preferable in order to reduce the amount of dust produced when cutting.
By using the self-priming water pump (accessory) you can work without need for a water supply hose.
The water can be drawn, for example, directly from a container.
•
Do not cut right through the workpiece in one pass. Move the saw back and forward several times until
it gradually reaches the desired cutting depth.
•
To avoid damaging the diamond cutting disc when dry cutting, lift the disc out of the cut for approx. 10
seconds every 30 to 60 seconds while the saw is still running.
•
Resharpen a polished diamond disc (i.e. when no diamonds project from the segment matrix) by cutting
with the disc in a very abrasive material such as sandstone.
3.5 Cutting disc specifications
Diamond cutting discs in accordance with ANSI B7.1 are to be used with the product. Synthetic resin-
bonded, fiber-reinforced cutting discs in accordance with ANSI B7.1 (straight, not dish-shaped, type cutting-
off wheel) may also be used with the product for working on metals.
The disc mounting instructions and instructions for use issued by the cutting disc manufacturer must be
observed.

3.7 Saw blade brake

The product is equipped with an integrated saw blade brake to increase operator safety.
The saw blade is braked to a standstill in a maximum of 10 seconds after the throttle safety grip is released.
Note
Releasing the throttle safety grip when the tool is running at full speed causes the tool to flick forward
slightly because of the braking torque. So hold the tool firmly with both hands on the grips provided.
