WARNING: A cutting blade can break

and cause injury to the operator.

WARNING: Examine the cutting blade

for cracks, lost segments distortion orunbalance prior to use and immediately after1631 - 001 - 04.05.2021 11striking 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. Applicable cutting blades

WARNING: Only use diamond blades

and abrasive blades for concrete and metal. 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 be thrown at high speed. This can result in injury or death.

WARNING: Never use a cutting blade

for any other materials than what it was intended to cut.

WARNING: Use only cutting blades

that comply with applicable national or regional standards, for example EN12413, EN13236 or ANSI B7.1.

WARNING: Do not use a cutting blade

with a rated speed value lower than that of the product. The rated speed value of the cutting blade is marked on the cutting blade, and that of the product is marked on the blade guard. 100 m/s XXXX rpm Note: Many cutting blades that can be attached to this product are made for stationary saws. The rated speed value of those cutting blades is too low for this product. CAUTION: Do not use cutting blades with thickness exceeding maximum recommended thickness. Refer to Technical data on page 39

• Cutting blades applicable to this product are available in two basic models; bonded abrasive blades and diamond blades.

• Make sure that the cutting blade has the correct center hole dimension for the installed arbor bushing. 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. Bonded abrasive cutting blades

Do not use bonded abrasive cutting blades together with water. Moisture decreases the strength in the bonded abrasive cutting blade and the cutting blade can break and cause injury. A bonded abrasive cutting blade is made of small abrasive grains joined with an organic or vitrified bond, molded with fabric reinforcements, which prevents the cutting blade from breaking during high speed operation. Bonded abrasive cutting blades for different materials Note: Make sure that you use the correct cutting blades for rail cutting. 12 1631 - 001 - 04.05.2021Blade type Material Concrete blade Concrete, asphalt, stone masonry, cast iron, aluminum, copper, brass, cables, rubber and plastic. Metal blade Steel, alloy steel and other hard met- al. Cutting blade for rail cutting Rail To examine a bonded abrasive cutting blade

• Make sure that there are no cracks or damages on the cutting blade.

• Hang the cutting blade on your finger and hit the cutting blade lightly with a screwdriver. If you do not hear a clear sound, the cutting blade is damaged. xxxx 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. 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

• Diamond blades for wet cutting must be used with water.

• Water decreases the temperature of the cutting blade, increases its service life and decreases dust during operation.

• When wet cutting, collect the waste water safely. 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 - side clearance

Certain cutting situations or poor blades can suffer excessive wear on the side of the segments. Make sure the diamond segment (A) is wider than the blade (B). This is to prevent pinching in the cutting slot and kickback. Refer to Kickback on page 16

CAUTION: Some cutting situations and worn blades may cause increased wear on the side of the segments. Replace the blade before it is worn out. 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.

1. 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

1. Find the arrows on the rear belt guard that show the

direction of rotation of the spindle shaft.

2. Find the arrow on the cutting blade that shows the

direction of rotation of the cutting blade.

3. Make sure that the direction arrows of the cutting

blade and the spindle shaft have the same direction. To install the cutting blade

Make sure that the engine is off and that the stop switch is in the STOP position. 14 1631 - 001 - 04.05.2021WARNING: Always use protective gloves when you assemble the product.

1. Examine the flange washers and the spindle shaft.

Refer to To examine the spindle shaft and the flange washers on page 14

2. Push back and hold the SmartGuard in the retracted

5. Tighten the cutting blade bolt to 25 Nm/18.5 ft-lb.

To reverse the cutting head (K 1270 II)

WARNING: 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 on page 16

WARNING: Make sure that the engine

is off and that the stop switch is in the STOP position.

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. 16 1631 - 001 - 04.05.2021If 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. Rotational 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 1631 - 001 - 04.05.2021 17a pipe in a trench that, if not properly supported, maysag and pinch the blade.If the pipe is allowed to sag and close the cut, the bladewill be pinched in the kick back zone and a severe kickback might develop. If the pipe is properly supported,the end of the pipe will move downward, the cut willopen and no pinching will occur.Secure the pipe so it does not move or roll duringcutting. Make sure that the cut opens to avoid pinchingthe blade.To 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

If the blade is pinched inthe 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.

WARNING: If the pipe is properly

supported, 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. To prevent a kickback

Avoid situations wherethere is a risk of kickback. Take care whenusing your power cutter and make sure thatthe blade is never pinched in the kickbackzone.

WARNING: Be careful when you put

the blade in an existing cut.

WARNING: Make sure that the work

piece cannot move during a cuttingoperation.

WARNING: Only you and proper

working technique can eliminate kickbackand its dangers.• Always support the work of piece so that the cut cankeep open when cutting through. When the cut isopen there is no kickback. If the cut is closed andpinches the blade, there is a risk of kickback. Basic working techniques

WARNING: Do not pull the product to

one side. This can prevent the freemovement of the cutting blade. The cuttingblade can break and cause injury to theoperator or bystanders.

WARNING: Do not grind with the side

of the cutting blade. The cutting blade canbreak and cause injury to the operator orbystanders. Only use the cutting edge.

WARNING: Make sure that the cutting

blade is installed correctly and does notshow signs of damage.

WARNING: Before cutting in an

existing cut made by a different blade, makea sure that the slot is not thinner than yourblade as that can result in binding in thecutting slot and a kickback.

WARNING: Cutting metal generates

sparks that can cause fire. Do not use theproduct near flammable material or gases.• The product is made to cut with bonded abrasivecutting blades or diamond blades made for highspeed handheld product. The product must not beused with other types of blade, or for other types ofoperation.• Do a check that the correct cutting blade is used forthe material to be cut. Refer to Applicable cutting blades on page 12 for instructions.• Do not cut asbestos materials.• Keep a safe distance from the cutting blade whenthe engine is on. Do not try to stop a rotating bladewith a part of your body. To touch a rotating blade,although the engine is off, can result in serious injuryor death.• The cutting blade continues to rotate for a while afterthe throttle trigger is released. Make sure that the1631 - 001 - 04.05.2021 19cutting blade has stopped before the product is moved or put down. If it is necessary to stop the cutting blade quickly, let the cutting blade lightly touch a hard surface.

• Do not move the product with the engine on.

• Hold the product with 2 hands. Hold the product tightly with thumbs and fingers fully around the plastic handles with insulation. The right hand must be on the rear handle and the left hand on the front handle. All operators must use this hold. Do not operate a power cutter with only 1 hand.

• Stand parallel to the cutting blade. Avoid standing straight behind. If a kickback occur, the saw will move in the plane of the cutting blade.

• Do not go away from the product with the engine on. Before you go away from the product, stop the engine and make sure that there is no risk of accidental start.

• Use the adjustment handle of the blade guard to adjust the rear section of the guard flush with the work piece. Spatter and sparks from the cut material are then collected up by the guard and led away from the operator. The guards for the cutting equipment must always be installed when the product is on.

To cut rail, recommendations Note: With correct cutting technique, the time to cut a 50 kg/m rail is 1 minute and to cut 60 kg/m rail is 1.5 minute. If more time is necessary, do a check of the cutting technique and the cutting blades. Incorrect cutting technique causes problems, such as cuts that are not accurate. An incorrect, blunt or worn cutting blade can also cause cuts that are not accurate.

• To get accurate cuts, only use high quality cutting blades that are made specially to cut rail.

• To make straight cuts, start with these steps:

1. Apply full throttle until the blade is at full

2. Decrease the throttle and keep it below the

speed limit until the cutting blade is stable with no vibrations.

4. Apply full throttle and keep full speed until

the cut is completed.

• Hold the product handle with your hands aligned with the cutting blade. This gives a straight cut and decreases the wear on the cutting blade.

• For the best result and a straight cut, install the power cutter with its right side to the fixture. Maintenance Introduction
