WARNING: Read all safety warnings

and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Note: Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery- operated (cordless) power tool. Work area safety

• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control. Electrical safety

• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

• If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual circuit interrupter (RCD) protected supply. Use of a RCD reduces the risk of electric shock CAUTION: Do not pressure wash the machine, as water can enter the electrical system or the motor and cause damage to the machine or short circuit. Personal safety

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the OFF-position before connecting to a power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

• If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

• Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore 1635 - 003 - 20.08.2021 5tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.

• The vibration emission during actual use of the power tool can differ from the declared total value depending on the ways in which the tool is used. Operators should identify safety measures to protect themselves that are based on an estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking account of all parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off and when it is running idle in addition to the trigger).

• Remain at a distance from the blade when the motor is running. Power tool use and care

• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

• Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

• Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

• Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool´s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

• Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.

• Under no circumstances should you modify the original design of the machine without approval from the manufacturer. Always use original spare parts. Unauthorized modifications and/or accessories may lead to serious injury or death to the user or others.

Make sure that no pipes or electrical cables are routed in the working area or in the material to be cut.

• Always check and mark out where gas pipes are routed. Cutting close to gas pipes always entails danger. Make sure that sparks are not caused when cutting in view of the risk of explosion. Remain concentrated and focused on the task. Carelessness can result in serious personal injury or death. Service

• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained. Cut-off machine safety warning

• The guard provided with the tool must be securely attached to the power tool and positioned for maximum safety so the least amount of wheel is exposed towards the operator. Position yourself and bystanders away from the plane of the rotating wheel. The guard helps to protect operator from broken wheel fragments and accidental contact with the wheel.

• Use only bonded reinforced or diamond cut-off wheels for your power tool. Just because an accessory can be attached to your power tool, it does not assure safe operation.

• The rated speed of the accessory must be at least equal to the maximum speed marked on the power tool. Accessories running faster than their rated speed can break and fly apart.

• Wheels must be used only for recommended applications. For example, do not grind with the side of the cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for peripheral grinding, side forces applied to these wheels may cause them to shatter.

• Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of correct diameter for your selected wheel. Proper wheel flanges support the wheel thus reducing the possibility of wheel breakage.

• Do not use worn down reinforced wheels from larger power tools. Wheels intended for a larger power tool are not suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool and may burst.

• The outside diameter and the thickness of your accessory must be within the capacity rating of your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be adequately guarded or controlled.

• The arbour size of wheels and flanges must properly fit the spindle of the power tool. Wheels and flanges with arbour holes that do not match the mounting hardware of the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control.

• Do not use damaged wheels. Before each use, inspect wheels for chips and cracks. If power tool or wheel is dropped, inspect for damage or install an undamaged wheel. After inspecting and installing the

1635 - 003 - 20.08.2021wheel, position yourself and bystanders away from the plane of the rotating wheel and run the power tool at maximum no load speed for one minute. Damaged wheels will normally break apart during this test time.

• Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves and shop apron capable of stopping small workpiece fragments. The eye protection must be capable of stopping flying debris generated by various operations. The dust mask or respirator must be capable of filtrating particles generated by your operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may cause hearing loss.

• Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area. Anyone entering the work area must wear personal protective equipment. Fragments of workpiece or a broken wheel may fly away and cause injury beyond immediate area of operation.

• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.

• Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory.If you lose control, the cord may be cut or snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into the spinning wheel.

• Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has come to a complete stop. The spinning wheel may grab the surface and pull the power tool out of your control.

• Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your side. Accidental contact with the spinning accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the accessory into your body.

• Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents. The motor’s fan will draw the dust inside the housing and excessive accumulation of powdered metal may cause electrical hazards.

• Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these materials. Kickback and related warnings

• Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating wheel. Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotating wheel which in turn causes the uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the direction opposite of the wheel’s rotation at the point of the binding.

• For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or pinched by the workpiece, the edge of the wheel that is entering into the pinch point can dig into the surface of the material causing the wheel to climb out or kick out. The wheel may either jump toward or away from the operator, depending on direction of the wheel’s movement at the point of pinching. Abrasive wheels may also break under these conditions.

• Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.

• Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces. Always use auxiliary handle, if provided, for maximum control over kickback or torque reaction during start-up. The operator can control torque reactions or kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken.

• Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. Accessory may kickback over your hand.

• Do not position your body in line with the rotating wheel. Kickback will propel the tool in direction opposite to the wheel’s movement at the point of snagging.

• Use special care when working corners, sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the accessory. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag the rotating accessory and cause loss of control or kickback.

• Do not attach a saw chain, woodcarving blade, segmented diamond wheel with a peripheral gap greater than 10 mm or toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback and loss of control.

• Do not ”jam” the wheel or apply excessive pressure. Do not attempt to make an excessive depth of cut. Overstressing the wheel increases the loading and susceptibility to twisting or binding of the wheel in the cut and the possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.

• When wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut for any reason, switch off the power tool and hold the power tool motionless until the wheel comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the wheel from the cut while the wheel is in motion otherwise kickback may occur. Investigate and take corrective action to eliminate the cause of wheel binding.

• Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed and carefully re-enter the cut. The wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if the power tool is restarted in the workpiece.

• Support panels or any oversized workpiece to minimize the risk of wheel pinching and kickback. Large workpieces tend to sag under their own weight. Supports must be placed under the workpiece near the line of cut and near the edge of the workpiece on both sides of the wheel.

• Use extra caution when making a “pocket cut” into existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding wheel may cut gas or water pipes, electrical wiring or objects that can cause kickback. 1635 - 003 - 20.08.2021 7General safety instructions

WARNING: A cutting blade can break

and cause injury to the operator.

WARNING: Examine the cutting blade

for cracks, lost segments distortion or unbalance prior to use and immediately after striking an unintended object. Do not use a damaged cutting blade. After inspecting and installing the cutting blade, position yourself and bystanders away from the plane of the rotating cutting blade and run the power tool at maximum no load speed for one minute.

WARNING: The cutting blade

manufacturer gives warnings and recommendations for the operation and correct maintenance of the cutting blade. Those warnings are supplied with the cutting blade. Read and obey the instructions that are supplied with the cutting blade. Diamond blades

Diamond blades become very hot when used. A diamond blade that is too hot gives bad performance, blade damage and is a safety risk.

WARNING: Do not use diamond

blades to cut plastic material. The hot diamond blade can melt the plastic, which can cause a kickback.

• Diamond blades have a steel core with segments that are made of industrial diamonds.

• Diamond blades are used for masonry, reinforced concrete and stone.

• Make sure that the diamond blade rotates in the direction of the arrows shown on the diamond blade.

• Always use a sharp diamond blade.

• Diamond blades can become blunt if you use an incorrect feeding pressure or when you cut materials such as hard reinforced concrete. If you use a blunt diamond blade it becomes too hot, which can cause the diamond segments to come loose. Cutting blades for handheld high speed power cutters

WARNING: Only use diamond blades.

Do not use blades with serrations such as circular wood cutting blades or blades with carbide tips. The risk of kickback is increased and carbide tips can come off and 12 1635 - 003 - 20.08.2021be thrown at high speed. This can result in injury or death.

WARNING: Incorrect use can cause

the blade to become too hot. A blade that is too hot can cause malfunction, which can cause damage and injury.

WARNING: Do not use a cutting blade

with a lower maximum speed than that of the power cutter. Only use cutting blades that are in compliance with national or regional standards. Note: Only cut materials approved in the instruction supplied with the blade. Check that the blade is approved for the same or higher speed written on the type plate of the power cutter. 100 m/s XXXX rpm Cutting blade vibration CAUTION: If you use the product with too much force, the cutting blade can become too hot, bend and cause vibrations. Use the product with less force. If the vibrations continue, replace the cutting blade. To sharpen the cutting blade Note: For the best cutting results, use a sharp cutting blade.

• To sharpen the cutting blade, cut into soft material, such as sandstone or brick. Diamond blades for wet cutting

Always use a blade flange dimension that is specified for the current blade dimension. Do not use blade flanges that are damaged. During the operation, the friction causes the diamond blade to become very hot. If the diamond blade becomes too hot, it will decrease the blade tension or make the core crack. Let the diamond blade become cool before you touch it.

• Diamond blades for wet cutting must be used with water to keep the diamond blade core and segments cool during cutting. Diamond blades for wet cutting can not be used dry.

• If you use diamond blades for wet cutting without water, the diamond blade can become too hot. This gives bad performance, blade damage and is a safety risk. Diamond blades for dry cutting

• For diamond blades for dry cutting it is necessary to have a sufficient airflow around the cutting blade to decrease the temperature. Because of this, diamond blades for dry cutting are recommended only for intermittent operation. After some seconds of operation, it is necessary to let the diamond blade rotate freely, away from the cut. This lets the airflow around the blade decrease the temperature of the diamond blade. Diamond blade - requirements

WARNING: Make sure the diamond

segment (T1) is wider than the blade (T2). This is to prevent pinching in the cutting slot and a kickback.

blades with positive rake angles. 1635 - 003 - 20.08.2021 13WARNING: Do not use diamond blades with greater gap between segments than max 10 mm (A).

blades with greater blade thickness than recommended maximum, refer to Recommended cutting blade dimensions on page 29

WARNING: Some cutting situations

and worn blades may cause increased wear on the side of the segments. Replace the blade before it is worn out. Toothed blades

Never use toothed blades such as wood cutting blades, circular toothed blades, carbide tipped blades, etc. The risk of kickback is significantly increased and tips can be torn off and thrown at high speed. Carelessness can result in serious personal injury or even death.

WARNING: Government regulation

requires a different type of guarding for carbide tipped blades not available on power cutters – a 360 degree guard. Power Cutters (this saw) use diamond blades and have a different guarding system which does not provide protection against the dangers presented by wood cutting blades. Use of this power cutter with a carbide tipped blade is a violation of work safety regulations. Due to the hazardous nature and exigent circumstances involved with fire fighting and rescue operations conducted by the various highly trained public safety forces, safety professionals (fire departments), Husqvarna is aware that they may use this power cutter with carbide tipped blades in certain emergency situations due to the ability of carbide tipped blades to cut many different types of obstructions and materials in combination without having to take time to switch blades or machines. When using this power cutter be aware at all times that carbide tipped blades are more kickback prone than diamond blades if not used properly. Carbide tipped blades can also throw pieces of material away from the blade. For these reasons, a power cutter equipped with a carbide tipped blade should never be used except by highly trained public safety professionals who are aware of the risks associated with its use and then only in those exigent circumstances when other tools are deemed inefficient and ineffective for fire or rescue operations. A power cutter equipped with a carbide tipped blade should never be used to cut wood in non- rescue operations. To examine the spindle shaft and the flange washers CAUTION: Use only HUSQVARNA flange washers with a minimum diameter of 105 mm/4.1 in.

WARNING: Do not use defective, worn

or dirty flange washers. Use only flange washers of the same dimension. Incorrect flange washers can cause the cutting blade to become damaged or come loose. Examine the spindle shaft and the flange washers when you replace the cutting blade.

1635 - 003 - 20.08.20211. Make sure that the threads on the spindle shaft are not damaged. Replace damaged parts.

2. Make sure that the areas of contact on the cutting

blade and the flange washers are not damaged. Replace damaged parts.

3. Make sure that the flange washers are clean and of

the correct dimension.

4. Make sure that the flange washers move freely on

the spindle shaft. To do a check of the arbor bushing The arbor bushings are used to attach the product to the center hole of the cutting blade. The product is supplied with one of these two types of arbor bushings:

• An arbor bushing that can be turned to the other side and be applicable for 20 mm/0.79 in. or 25.4 mm/1 in. center holes.

• A 25.4 mm/1 in. arbor bushing.

• A decal on the blade guard shows installed arbor bushing and specification for applicable cutting blades.

• Make sure that the dimension of the center hole of the cutting blade agrees with the installed arbor bushing. The diameter of the center hole is printed on the cutting blade.

• Use only HUSQVARNA arbor bushings. To examine the direction of rotation of the cutting blade

To reverse the cutting head

Only cut with the cutting head reversed if a standard procedure is not possible. The product has a reversible cutting head that lets you cut near a wall or at ground level. Only cut with the cutting head reversed if a standard procedure is not possible. If a kickback occurs, it is more difficult to control the product if the cutting head is reversed. The distance between the cutting blade and the center of the product is longer, which means that the handle and the cutting blade do not align. This has a negative effect on the balance in the product and it is more difficult to hold the product if the cutting blade is pinched or stalled in the kickback zone. Refer to Kickback zone on page 17

WARNING: Make sure that the motor is

off and that the power plug is disconnected.

WARNING: Always use protective

gloves when you assemble the product.

WARNING: Read and understand the

safety chapter before you use the product. Kickback

WARNING: Kickbacks are sudden and

can be very violent. The power cutter can be thrown up and back towards the user in a rotating motion causing serious or even fatal injury. It is vital to understand what causes kickback and how to avoid it before using the product. Kickback is the sudden upward motion that can occur if the blade is pinched or stalled in the kickback zone. Most kickbacks are small and pose little danger. However a kickback can also be very violent and throw the power cutter up and back towards the user in a rotating motion causing serious or even fatal injury. Reactive force A reactive force is always present when cutting. The force pulls the product in the opposite direction to the blade rotation. Most of the time this force is insignificant. If the blade is pinched or stalled, the reactive force will be strong and you might not be able to control the power cutter. Never move the product when the cutting equipment is rotating. Gyroscopic forces can obstruct the intended movement Kickback zone Never use the kickback zone of the blade for cutting. If the blade is pinched or stalled in the kickback zone, the reactive force will push the power cutter up and back towards the user in a rotating motion causing serious or even fatal injury. 1635 - 003 - 20.08.2021 17Rotational kickback A rotational kickback occurs when the cutting blade does not move freely in the kickback zone. Climbing kickback If the kickback zone is used for cutting, the reactive force drives the blade to climb up in the cut. Do not use the kickback zone. Use the lower quadrant of the blade to avoid climbing kickback. Pinching kickback Pinching is when the cut closes and pinches the blade. If the blade is pinched or stalled the reactive force will be strong and you might not be able to control the power cutter. If the blade is pinched or stalled in the kickback zone, the reactive force will push the power cutter up and back towards the user in a rotating motion causing serious or even fatal injury. Be alert for potential movement of the work piece. If the work piece is not properly supported and shifts as you cut, it might pinch the blade and cause a kick back. Pipe cutting Special care should be taken when cutting in pipes. If the pipe is not properly supported and the cut kept open throughout the cutting, the blade might be pinched. Be especially alert when cutting a pipe with a belled end or a pipe in a trench that, if not properly supported, may sag and pinch the blade. If the pipe is allowed to sag and close the cut, the blade will be pinched in the kick back zone and a severe kick back might develop. If the pipe is properly supported, the end of the pipe will move downward, the cut will open and no pinching will occur. Secure the pipe so it does not move or roll during cutting. Make sure that the cut opens to avoid pinching the blade.

1635 - 003 - 20.08.2021To cut in smaller pipes

WARNING: If the blade is pinched in

the kickback zone, it will cause a severekickback.If the pipe is smaller than the maximum cutting depth ofthe product, the cutting operation can be done in 1 stepfrom top to bottom.• Cut the pipe from top to bottom.To cut in larger pipes

WARNING: If the blade is pinched in

the kickback zone it will cause a severekickback.If the pipe is larger than the maximum cutting depth ofthe product, and can not be rolled, the cutting operationneeds to be divided in 5 steps.• Divide the pipe into 5 sections. Do a mark of thosesections and of a cutting line. Cut a shallow guidegroove around the pipe.

• Cut those sections in 5 steps with the cuttingdirections shown by the arrows in each step.

• Make the final separating cut from the top of the pipepulling backwards, without involving the upperquadrant of the blade. Adjust the blade guard to fullforward position for maximum protection.

If the pipe is properlysupported, it should not pinch the bladewhen separated in section 5. Howeverbe alert if the blade is pinched during thefinal separation. If the blade is pinched inthe lower section, the product may pullforward away from the operator, ratherthen resulting in a rotating kickback.1635 - 003 - 20.08.2021 19To prevent a kickback

WARNING: Avoid situations where

there is a risk of kickback. Take care when using your power cutter and make sure that the blade is never pinched in the kickback zone.

WARNING: Be careful when you put

the blade in an existing cut.

WARNING: Make sure that the work

piece cannot move during a cutting operation.

WARNING: Only you and proper

working technique can eliminate kickback and its dangers.

• Always support the work of piece so that the cut can keep open when cutting through. When the cut is open there is no kickback. If the cut is closed and pinches the blade, there is a risk of kickback. To do before you start the product
