SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Ground fault circuit interrupter (K3000 Wet) Cutting blades Ground fault circuit interrupters are for protection in case an electrical fault should occur. ! The LED indicates that the ground fault circuit interrupter is on and that the machine can be switched on. If the LED is not on, push the RESET button (green). WARNING! A cutting blade may burst and cause injury to the operator. Never use a cutting blade at a lower speed rating than that of the power cutter.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Diamond blades Blade vibration The blade can become out-of-round and vibrate if an excessive feed pressure is used. A lower feed pressure can stop the vibration. Otherwise replace the blade. The blade must be of the recommended type for the material to be cut. ! WARNING! Cutting plastics with a diamond blade can cause kickback when the material melts due to the heat produced when cutting and sticks to the blade.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Dry cutting with diamond blade ! General working instructions WARNING! Diamond blades get very hot when used. A heated blade can be deformed and cause damage to the machine as well as the user. ! When dry cutting, lift the blade out from the cut every 30–60 seconds and let it rotate in the air for 10 seconds to let it cool.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS • • The guard for the cutting equipment should be adjusted so that the rear section is flush with the work piece. Spatter and sparks from the material being cut are then collected up by the guard and led away from the user. Feed down the machine in line with the blade. Pressure from the side can damage the blade and is very dangerous. ! • Never start to cut with the upper quadrant of the blade as shown in the figure, also known as the kickback zone.
ASSEMBLY Assembly ! WARNING! Always pull out the plug from the outlet socket before cleaning, maintenance or assembly. Checking the drive axle and flange washers Check that the threads on the drive shaft are undamaged. Check that the contact surfaces on the blade and the flange washers are undamaged, of the correct dimension, clean, and that they run properly on the drive axle. Fitting the cutting blade Husqvarna’s blades are approved for hand-held power cutters.

! WARNING! Cutting, especially when DRY cutting, generates dust that comes from the material being cut, which frequently contains silica. Silica is a basic component of sand, quartz, brick clay, granite and numerous other minerals and rocks. Exposure to excessive amount of such dust can cause: Respiratory disease (affecting your ability to breath), including chronic bronchitis, silicosis and pulmonary fibrosis from exposure to silica. These diseases may be fatal; Skin irritation and rash.
