Cutoff discs
-
The protection hood must always be on! Change discs only
with the engine
off!
There are two basic types of cutoff discs:
-
For metal (hot cutting)
-
For masonry (cold cutting)
-
NOTE:
When using diamond cutoff discs, always make sure to observe the
"direction of rotation" markings. Diamond discs should be used only
for
cutting
metal.
-
Cutoff discs are intended only for radial loading, i.e. for cutting.
Never use the side of the disc for grinding
(1
O)!
Caution!

Never change direction (turning radius less than
16.5
feet
(5
meters), exert lateral (sideways) pressure, or tip the Power
Cut during cutting
(1
l)!
-
Use a cutting disc only for cutting the materials it is intended for.
The proper type of disc must be used, for either metals or
masonry.
The arbour hole (bore) of the cutting disc must fit the shaft exactly.
If
the arbour hole is larger than the shaft diameter, a spacer ring
must be used.
Use only cutting discs approved by the DSA (German Abrasive
Disc Committee)
or
equivalent organization for freehand cutting
at up to
4370
RPM for
14"
(350
mm) discs
(=
80
m/sec. at
circumference) or up to
51
00
RPM for
12" (300
mm) discs
(=
80
mlsec.).

The disc must be free of defects
(1
2).
Make sure by sound testing
with a piece of wood.
Do
not use defective cutting discs.
Always tighten the cutting disc mounting bolt to a torque of
30
Nm. Otherwise, the cutting disc can twist.
Before starting the Power Cut, make sure you have
a
steady
footing.
Putthe PowerCut intooperation onlyasdescribed in thisowner's
manual
(13).
Place yourrightfoot inthe rear handleandgraspthe
other handle firmly (with thumb and fingers). Other starting
methods are not allowed.
When starting the Power Cut it must be well supported and
securely held. The cutting disc must not be touching anything.
If the cutting disc is new, test it by running it at least
60
seconds
at top speed. When doing this, make sure that no persons or body
parts are in the extended swing range of the disc, in case it is
defective and flies apart.
When working with the Power Cut always hold it with both
hands.
Take the back handle with the right hand and the tubular
handle with the left hand. Hold the handles tightly with your
thumbs facing your fingers.
CAUTION: When you release the throttle lever the disc will
keepspinningforashort period of time
(free-wheelingeffect).
Continuously ensure that you have a safe footing.
Hold the Power Cut such that you will not breathe in the exhaust
gas.
Do
not work in closed rooms or in deep holes or ditches
(danger of poisoning by fumes).
Switch off the Power Cut immediately if you observe any
changes in its operating behavior.
Always switch the engine off before checking the V-belt
tension, tightening the V-belt, changing the cutting disc,
repositioning thecutter attachment
(side or middle),
or doing
any work on the Power Cut
(14).
Turn off the engine immediately and check the disc if you hear or
feel any change in cutting behaviour.
Turn off the Power Cut when taking a break or stopping work
(1
4).
Place the unit in such a way that the disc is not touching anything
and cannot endanger anyone.
Do
not put the overheated Power Cut in dry grass or on any
inflammable objects. The muffler is very hot (danger of fire).
IMPORTANT:
After wet cutting, first turn off the water feed and
then let the disc run at least
30
seconds, to fling off the remaining
water and prevent corrosion.
