In wet cutting, the disc is wetted at an equal rate on both sides

by a trickle of water. DIAMOND offers the right accessories for all

wet cutting applications.
- Remove foreign objects such as sand, stones and nails found

within the working area. caution: Watch out for electric wires

and cables!

The rapid rotation of the cutting disc at the point of contact

throws fragments out of the cut groove at high speed. For

your safety, swing the protection hood down as far as pos-

sible (23), so that material fragments are thrown forward,

away from the operator.
‑ Mark the cut, and then make a groove about 5 mm (just under

1/5") along the entire length of the planned cut. This groove will

then guide the Fast-Cut accurately guring the actual cutoff.

NOTE:
For long, straight cuts we recommend using a trolley (24). This

makes it much easier to guide the unit straight.
- Perform the cut with a steady back-and-forth motion.
- When cutting slabs to size, you need not cut through the entire

material thickness (creating unnecessary dust). Instead, simply

make a shallow groove, and then knock off the excess material

cleanly on a flat surface (25).

cAREFUL!
When cutting into lengths, cutting through material, making cutouts,

etc., always make sure to plan the direction and sequence of cuts

in such a way that the disc does not get jammed by the cut-off

piece, and that no persons can be injured by falling pieces.

Transport and storage

- Always turn off the Fast-cut when transporting it or mov-

ing it from place to place on a site (26).

- Never carry or move the unit with the engine on or the

disc moving!

- Carry the unit only by the tubular (middle) handle with the cut-

ting disc pointing behind you (26). Avoid touching the exhaust

muffler (burn hazard!)

- When moving the Fast-Cut over longer distances, use a

wheelbarrow or wagon.

- When transporting the Fast-Cut in a vehicle, make sure it is

securely positioned in such a way that no fuel can leak out.

Always remove the cutting disc before transporting the unit in

a vehicle. Before transporting in a vehicle, allow the Fast-Cut

to cool off completely. Note: Mufflers with catalytic converters

take longer to cool off!

- The Fast-Cut should be stored safely in a dry place. It must

not be left outdoors! Always dismount the cutting disc before

storage. Keep the Fast-Cut away from children.

- Before long-term storage and before shipping the Fast-cut,

follow the instructions in the chapter on "Periodic care

and maintenance". ALWAYS empty the fuel tank and run

the carburetor dry.

- When putting cutting discs in storage, be careful to:

• Clean and dry them well. cAUTION: Do NOT clean synthetic

resin cutting discs with water or other fluids!

• Store them lying down flat.

• Avoid dampness, freezing temperatures, direct sunshine,

high temperatures and temperature fluctuations, as these

can cause breakage and splintering.

• Before re-using a resin cutting disc, make sure of the use-by

(expiration) date (quarter and year, stamped on the arbor

ring). If this date has been exceeded, do NOT use the cutting

disc.

- Always check new cutting discs or cutting discs that have

been in storage to make sure that they are free of defects

and before the first cut test‑run the tool at top speed for at

least 60 seconds. Keep body parts and people well away out

of range of the direction of the cutting disc during this test.
