General working instructions
Cutting technique
The technique described below is of a general character.
Check information for each blade regarding individual
cutting characteristics (for example, diamond blades
requires less feeding pressure than an abrasive discs).
• 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.
• Ensure that the cutting blade is fitted correctly.
• Always hold the machine in a firm grip with both
hands. Hold it so that the thumbs and fingers grip
round the handles.
• Check that the blade is not in contact with anything
when the machine is started
• Start cutting with the machine running at maximum
speed.
• Start cutting smoothly, allowing the machine to work
without forcing or pressing in the blade. Always cut at
maximum speed.
• Move the blade slowly forwards and backwards to
achieve a small contact area between the blade and
the material to be cut. This reduces the temperature of
the blade and ensures effective cutting.
• The guard for the cutting equipment should be
adjusted so that the rear section is flush with the work
piece. Spatter and sparks from the material being cut
are then collected up by the guard and led away from
the user.
• Feed down the machine in line with the blade.
Pressure from the side can damage the blade and is
very dangerous.
