When is there a danger of kickback and lock-in?
When working with the Power Cut there is a danger of kickback and lock-in.
When does kickback occur?
Kickback occurs when the top of the cutting disc is used for cutting. This causes the Power Cut to be thrown back toward the user with great force and out of control.
How can you prevent kickback?
To prevent kickback, observe the following:
- Never cut with the section of the cutting disc shown in figure 15.
- Be especially careful when reinserting the disc into cuts that have already been started.
When does lock-in occur?
Lock-in occurs when the cut narrows (crack, or workpiece under stress). This causes the Power Cut to suddenly jump forward, out of control and with great force.
How can you prevent lock-in?
To prevent lock-in, observe the following:
- When reinserting the disc into previous cuts, have the Power Cut running at top speed. Always cut at top speed.
- Always support the workpiece so that the cut is under tension, so that the cut does not press together and jam the cutting disc as it proceeds through the material.
- When starting a cut, apply the disc to the workpiece with care. Do not just shove it into the material.
- Never cut more than one piece at a time! When cutting, make sure that no other workpiece comes into contact.
What should you check the work area for before starting work?
Before starting work, check the work area for any hazards (electrical wires, inflammable substances).
How should you hold the Power Cut when working with it?
When working with the Power Cut hold it firmly by the front and rear handles.
When should you use the Power Cut?
Only use the Power Cut during good light and visibility periods.
What should you be aware of?
Be aware of slippery or wet areas, and of ice and snow (risk of slipping).
Where should you never work?
Never work on unstable surfaces.
What should you make sure of?
Make sure that there are no obstacles in the working area, risk of stumbling. Always ensure that you have a safe footing.
What height should you never cut above?
Never cut above your shoulder height.
Where should you never stand to cut?
Never stand on a ladder to cut.
Where should you never use the Power Cut while standing?
Never use the Power Cut while standing on scaffolding.
How should you put down and pick up the Power Cut?
When putting down and picking up the Power Cut, do not bend over from the waist, but instead bend in the knees.
How should you guide the Power Cut?
Guide the Power Cut in such a way that no part of your body is within the extended swing range of the disc.
What should you remove from the cutting area before cutting?
Before cutting, remove all foreign objects, such as rocks, gravel, nails etc. from the cutting area.
What should you use when cutting workpieces down to length?
When cutting workpieces down to length use a firm support. If necessary, secure the workpiece from slipping, but do not steady it with your foot or allow another person to hold it.
What should you always secure round items against when cutting?
When cutting round items, always secure them against rotation.
When should you use the side mounting position of the cutter attachment?
When guiding the Power Cut by hand, use the side mounting position of the cutter attachment only when actually necessary.
What should you always observe when using synthetic resin cutting discs?
Always observe the following:
- Synthetic resin cutting discs can absorb moisture. This moisture can cause the disc to become unbalanced at high speed. This imbalance can cause the disc to break.
- Do not cool resin cutting discs with water or other fluids.
- Do not expose resin cutting discs to high humidity or rain!
- Do not use resin cutting discs past their use-by date (expiration date)!
What should you always wear when cutting metals?
Always wear approved respiratory protection!
What should you do when cutting metals?
The rapid rotation of the cutting disc heats metal and melts it at the point of contact. Swing the guard as far down as possible in order to direct the stream of sparks forward, away from the operator (fire hazard). Determine the cut line, mark the cut and apply the disc to the material at moderate speed, to cut a guide groove before going to top speed and applying more pressure to the Power Cut. Keep the disc straight and vertical. Do not tip it, as this can break it. The best way to get a good, clean cut is to pull or move the Power Cut back and forth. Do not simply press the disc into the material. Thick round stock is best cut in stages. Thin tubing and pipes can be cut with a simple downward cut. Cut large-diameter pipes as for round stock. To prevent tipping and for better control, do not let the disc sink too deeply into the material. Instead, always cut shallow around the whole piece. Cut I-beams and L-bars in steps. Cut bands and plates like pipes: along the wide side with a long cut. When cutting material under stress (supported material or material in structures), always make a notch in the thrust (pressure) side, and then cut from the tension side, so that the disc does not lock in. Secure cutoff material from falling!
What should you be prepared for if there is a chance that the material is under stress?
If there is a chance that the material is under stress, be prepared for it to kick back. Make sure you can get out of the way if you have to!
What should you always exercise?
Always exercise extreme caution and use only equipment that is in perfect working order.
What should you always wear when cutting masonry and concrete?
Always wear approved respiratory protection!
What should you follow when cutting prestressed and reinforced concrete piles?
When cutting prestressed and reinforced concrete piles, follow the instructions and standards of the responsible authorities or the builder of the structural member. Reinforcement rods must be cut in the prescribed sequence and in accordance with applicable safety regulations.
What do mortar, stone, and concrete develop during cutting?
Mortar, stone, and concrete develop large quantities of dust during cutting.
What do we strongly recommend instead of dry cutting?
To increase the lifetime of the cutting disc (by cooling), to improve visibility, and to avoid excessive dust creation, we strongly recommend wet cutting instead of dry cutting.
What should you remove from the working area?
Remove foreign objects such as sand, stones and nails found within the working area.
What should you watch out for?
Watch out for electric wires and cables!
What should you swing down as far as possible for your safety?
For your safety, swing the protection hood down as far as possible, so that material fragments are thrown forward, away from the operator.
What should you make along the entire length of the planned cut?
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 Power Cut accurately during the actual cutoff.
What do we recommend for long, straight cuts?
For long, straight cuts we recommend using a trolley. This makes it much easier to guide the unit straight.
What should you always make sure to plan?
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.
When should you always turn off the Power Cut?
Always turn off the Power Cut when transporting it or moving it from place to place on a site.
How should you carry the unit?
