WARNING! Unauthorized modifications
!
and/or accessories may lead to serious
injury or death to the user or others.
Under no circumstances may the design
of the machine be modified without the
permission of the manufacturer.
Do not modify this product or use it if it
appears to have been modified by others.
Never use a machine that is faulty. Carry
out the safety checks, maintenance and
service instructions described in this
manual. Some maintenance and service
measures must be carried out by trained
and qualified specialists. See
instructions under the Maintenance
heading.

WARNING! This machine produces an
!
electromagnetic field during operation.
This field may under some
circumstances interfere with active or
passive medical implants. To reduce the
risk of serious or fatal injury, we
recommend persons with medical
implants to consult their physician and
the medical implant manufacturer before
operating this machine.
Water cooling
Water cooling must always be used. This cools the blades
and increases their life and prevents dust build-up.
There is a restrictor in the water hose that reduces the
water flow.
NOTICE! It is important not to use a too high water flow
without throttling as the belt can then slip.
Work area safety
WARNING! The safety distance for the
!
power cutter is 15 metres (50 foot). 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.
•
Observe your surroundings to ensure that nothing can
affect your control of the machine.
•
Ensure that no one/nothing can come into contact
with the cutting equipment or be hit by parts thrown by
the blade.
•
Do not use the machine in bad weather, such as
dense fog, heavy rain, strong wind, intense cold, etc.
Working in bad weather is tiring and can lead to
dangerous conditions, e.g. slippery surfaces.

OPERATING
•
Never start to work with the machine before the
working area is clear and you have a firm foothold.
Look out for any obstacles with unexpected movement.
Ensure when cutting that no material can become
loose and fall, causing injury to the operator.Take great
care when working on sloping ground.
•
Ensure that the working area is sufficiently illuminated
to create a safe working environment.
•
Make sure that no pipes or electrical cables are routed
in the working area or in the material to be cut.
•
If cutting into a container (drum, pipe, or other
container) you must first make sure it does not contain
flammable or other volatile material.
Basic working techniques
!
!
•
This machine is only to be used with Husqvarna´s
specially developed diamond blades intended for Cut-
n-Break. The blades have an integrated belt pulley
and are approved for freehand cutting. The machine
shall not be used with any other type of blade, or for
any other type of cutting.
•
Check that the cutting blade is fitted correctly and
does not show signs of damage. See the instructions
in the sections "Cutting blades" and "Maintenance".
•
Check that the correct cutting blade is used for the
application in question. See instructions in the section
"Cutting blades".
•
Never cut asbestos materials!
•
Hold the saw with both hands; keep a firm grip with
thumbs and fingers encircling the handles. The right
hand should be on the rear handle and the left hand
on the front handle. All operators, weather right or left
handed shall use this grip. Never operate a power
cutter holding it with only one hand.
WARNING! When cutting vertically,
always cut from the top of the cut and
down. Never cut from the bottom of the
cut and up. This can cause a kickback
and result in personal injury.
WARNING! Do not pull the power cutter
to one side, this can cause the blade to
jam or break resulting in injury to people.
Never use a diamond blade to cut plastic
material. The heat produced during
cutting may melt the plastic and it can
stick to the cutting blade and cause a
kickback.
Cutting metal generates sparks that may
cause fire. Do not use the machine near
ignitable substances or gases.
