SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Cutting
General
• Start cutting with the machine running at maximum
speed.
• Always hold the machine in a firm grip with both hands.
Hold it so that the thumbs and fingers grip round the
handles.
Cutting technique
The technique described below is of a general character.
Check the details of each blade concerning individual cutting
characteristics.
• Support the work piece in such a way that it is possible to
predict what will happen, and so that the cut remains open
while cutting.
• Check that the blade is not in contact with anything when
the machine is started.
• Always cut at maximum speed.
• Start cutting gradually, let the machine work without
forcing or pressing the blade.
• Move the blade slowly backwards and forwards to give a
small contact surface between the blade and material to
be cut. This will mean the blade temperature is kept down
resulting in efficient cutting.
• Feed the machine in line with the blade. Side pressure can
destroy the blade and is extremely dangerous.
Cutting depth
K3600 MKII can cut up to a depth of 260 mm (10 inches).
Making a guide cut of 50-70 mm (2-3 inches) first, gives you
better control of the machine. This means the water disc can
penetrate into the workpiece and help control the machine.
Attempting to saw the entire depth in one run takes longer.
Working with several runs, 3 to 4 when the cut is 260 mm (10
inches) in depth, is much quicker.
!
WARNING! The safety distance for the power
cutter is 15 metres. You are responsible to
ensure that animals and onlookers are not
within the working area. Do not start cutting
until the working area is clear and you are
standing firmly.
!
WARNING! Overexposure to vibration can
lead to circulatory damage or nerve damage
in people who have impaired circulation.
Contact your doctor if you experience
symptoms of overexposure to vibration.
These symptoms include numbness, loss of
feeling, tingling, pricking, pain, loss of
strength, changes in skin colour or
condition. These symptoms normally appear
in the fingers, hands or wrists.
!
WARNING! Under all circumstances avoid
cutting with the side of the blade, as this will
definitely result in damage, breakage or can
cause serious injuries. Only use the cutting
section.
Do not pull the power cutter to one side, this
can cause the blade to jam or break
resulting in injury to people.
