Safety at the workplace

• Ensure that the workplace is well lit.
• Don’t work in closed rooms. Carbon monoxide, unburned hydrocarbons and benzene in the exhaust gas may cause asphyxiation.
• Keep the workplace tidy. Objects which could cause injury should be removed from the working area. Untidiness at the workplace can lead to accidents.
• Hot exhaust gases containing sparks or sparks generated by the cutting operation may cause fire or explosion. Make sure that the sparks generated do not ignite flammable (gasoline, dry grass, etc.) or explosive (gas, etc.) substances.
• After installing the water pump, make sure that the screws are tightened to the recommended tightening torque.
• Before fitting the water pump, check to ensure that the maximum  permitted water supply pressure of 6 bar is not exceeded.

Liquids (gasoline and oil) and vapors

The inhalation of gasoline vapors and skin contact with gasoline may be hazardous to the health.

• Avoid direct skin contact with gasoline. Wear protective gloves.
• If your clothing becomes soiled with gasoline, it is essential to change your clothing.
• Ensure that the workplace is well ventilated in order to avoid breathing in gasoline fumes.
• Use a fuel canister that complies with the applicable regulations.
• Don’t refuel the product while the engine is running. Wait until the engine has cooled down.
• Never smoke while refueling; there is a risk of fire and explosion.
• Do not refuel the product in the area where you are working (move at least 3 meters/10 feet clear of the workplace). When refueling, take care to avoid fuel spillage. Use a suitable funnel.
• Avoid inhaling gasoline vapors and exhaust fumes. Take care to ensure adequate ventilation.
• Don’t use the gasoline or other flammable liquids for cleaning.

Cutting work using cut-off wheels

• Use only cut-off wheels with a rated maximum permissible speed at least as high as the maximum spindle speed.
• Check that the outside diameter and the thickness of the cut-off wheel comply with the capacity rating of the product.
• Never use cut-off wheels that are damaged, run untrue or vibrate.
• Do not use damaged diamond cut-off wheels (cracks in the steel wheel, broken or polished segments, damaged arbor hole, bent or distorted steel wheel, heavy wheeloloration due to overheating, steel wheel worn away beneath the segments, diamond segments with no lateral overhang, etc.).
• Do not use toothed accessory cutting tools (e.g. toothed saw blades).
• When fitting the cut-off wheel, always take care to ensure that the wheel’s specified direction of rotation corresponds to the direction of rotation of the spindle. Always install only one cut-off wheel.
• The cut-off wheel and flange or any other accessory must fit the arbor of the product exactly. cut-off wheels with arbor holes that do not match the mounting hardware of the product will run out of balance, vibrate excessively and can lead to loss of control and to breakage of the cut-off wheel.
• Always use an undamaged clamping flange of the correct diameter which fits the cut-off wheel used. The correctly fitting clamping flange supports the cut-off wheel and thus reduces the possibility of wheel breakage.
• Guide the product smoothly and do not apply lateral pressure to the cut off wheel. Always bring the cut-off wheel into contact with the workpiece at right angles. Don’t attempt to alter the line of cut by applying lateral pressure or by bending the cut-off wheel while cutting is in progress.
• Abrasive cut-off wheels which are used for wet cutting must be used up the same day as long periods of exposure to moisture have a negative effect on the strength of the wheel.
• Never install a saw blade for cutting wood.
• Use only cut-off wheels that comply with the existing standards for cut off wheels.
• Prior to installation and before use, check the cut-off wheel for damage. Do not install a damaged cut-off wheel. Comply with the requirements stated by the manufacturer of the cut-off wheel.
• Observe the expiry date for resin-bonded cut-off wheels and don’t use the wheels after this date.

Intended use

The product described is a gasoline-powered cut-off saw for the wet or dry cutting of asphalt, mineral construction materials or metals using diamond cut-off wheels or abrasive cut off wheels. The saw is not suitable for use in environments where there is risk of fire or explosion

Possible misuse

“Shoveling” with the gasoline-powered saw is not permissible.

Instructions for use

• Use of the wet cutting method is preferable in order to reduce the amount of dust produced when cutting. By using the self-priming water pump (accessory) you can work without need for a water supply hose. The water can be drawn, for example, directly from a container.
• Do not cut right through the workpiece in one pass. Move the saw back and forward several times until it gradually reaches the desired cutting depth.
• To avoid damaging the diamond cut-off wheel when dry cutting, lift the wheel out of the cut for approx. 10 seconds every 30 to 60 seconds while the saw is still running.
• Resharpen a polished diamond wheel (i.e. when no diamonds project from the segment matrix) by cutting with the wheel in a very abrasive material such as sandstone.

cut-off wheel specifications

Diamond wheels in accordance with EN 13236 are to be used with the  product. Synthetic resin-bonded,fiber-reinforced cut-off wheels in accordance with EN 12413 (straight, not dish-shaped, type 41) may also be used with the product for working on metals. The wheel mounting instructions and instructions for use issued by the cut-off wheel manufacturer must be observed.

Cutting techniques

Figure: 8

Figure: 9

There is a risk of kickback if the gasoline-powered saw comes into contact with the working surface in the area indicated.

Kickback is the result of product misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions. To prevent kickback, follow the safety instructions and the instructions for use below.

• Do not bring the accessory tool into contact with the working surface in the area marked.

• Allow the gasoline-powered saw to reach full speed before starting the cut.

• Apply pressure to the product so that the accessory tool enters  the material slowly.

• Apply moderate pressure, adjusting the rate of advance to suit the material being cut
  A decrease in the rate of cutting progress may be an indication of blunt/dull (“polished”) diamond segments. The diamond segments can be resharpened by making a few cuts in an abrasive material (Hilti sharpening plate or sand-lime block).

• Guide the gasoline-powered saw smoothly and without applying lateral pressure to the cut-off wheel.

• Always hold the gasoline-powered saw firmly with both hands on the grips provided. Keep the grips dry, clean and free from oil and grease.

• Make sure there is no-one in the working area and, in particular, in the direction in which the cut is to be made. Keep everyone approx. 15 m away from your workplace.

Avoiding stalling

Figure: 8

If the cut-off wheel binds, the product tends to pull away from the operator.

CAUTION

Risk of cut-off wheel breakage or kickback. Application of excessive pressure causes distortion of the cut-off wheel. Sticking or stalling of the cut-off wheel increases the probability of kickback or cut-off wheel breakage.

• Avoid applying excessive pressure when cutting and don’t allow the cut-off wheel to stick and stall.
• Don’t attempt to make an excessively deep cut.
• Cutting through thick workpieces should be accomplished, as far as possible, by making a several cuts.
• Always cut only one workpiece at a time.
• Support slabs or large workpieces so that the kerf remains open during and after the cutting operation.

Avoiding kickback

Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating wheel. Snagging or binding brings the rotating accessory tool to an abrupt stop. This causes the product to accelerate at the point of binding, in the direction opposite to the accessory tool’s direction of rotation. For example, if a cut-off wheel is snagged or pinched by the workpiece, the edge of the cut-off wheel entering the pinch point can dig into the surface of the material causing the cut-off wheel to climb out or kick back.
If this happens the cut-off wheel moves toward or away from the operator. The further forward the cut-off wheel binds, the higher the probability of a kickback. cut-off wheels can also break under these conditions. A kickback is the result of product misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions. It can be avoided by taking the proper precautions as described below. If the cut-off wheel binds when the product is cutting in the direction of the ground, the product can jump forward in an uncontrolled manner. If the cut-off wheel binds when the product is cutting vertically, for example in a wall, the product can jump upward in an uncontrolled manner.

• Always bring the cut-off wheel into contact with the workpiece from above, with the throttle trigger fully depressed.
• Allow the cut-off wheel to contact the workpiece only at a point below its rotational axis.
• Take special care when inserting the cut-off wheel in an existing kerf.

Care and maintenance

Risk of injury. Touching the rotating cut-off wheel or hot parts of the machine may lead to injury or burns.

Switch the engine off and allow the product to cool down before all maintenance, repairs, cleaning or servicing.

Disposal

Most of the materials from which Hilti products are manufactured can be recycled. The materials must be correctly separated before they can be recycled. In many countries, your old tools, machines or appliances can be returned to Hilti for recycling. Ask Hilti Service or your Hilti representative for further information.

Drilling slurry
Disposal of drilling slurry directly into rivers, lakes or the sewerage system without suitable pretreatment presents environmental problems.

• Ask the local public authorities for information about current regulations.
  We recommend the following pretreatment:

• Collect the drilling slurry (for example, using a wet-type vacuum cleaner).

• Allow the drilling slurry to settle and dispose of the solid material at a construction waste disposal site (addition of a flocculent may accelerate the settling process).

• The remaining water (alkaline, pH value greater than 7) must be neutralized by the addition of an acidic neutralizing agent or diluted with a large volume of water before it is allowed to flow into the sewerage system.
