Fuels / Refuelling
- Go to a safe, level place before refuelling. Never refuel while
on scaffolding, on heaps of material, or in similar places!
- Switch off the engine before refuelling the Power Cut.
- Do not smoke or work near open res (6).
- Let the engine cool down before refuelling.
- Fuels can contain substances similar to solvents. Eyes and skin
should not come in contact with mineral oil products. Always wear
protective gloves when refuelling (not the regular work gloves!).
Frequently clean and change protective clothes. Do not breathe
in fuel vapors. Inhalation of fuel vapours can be hazardous to
your health.
- Do not spill fuel. If a spill occurs, clean off the Power Cut im
mediately. Fuel should not come in contact with clothes. If your
clothes have come in contact with fuel, change them at once.
- Ensure that no fuel oozes into the soil (environmental protection).
Use an appropriate base.
- Refuelling is not allowed in closed rooms. Fuel vapors will ac
cumulate near the oor (explosion hazard).
- Ensure to rmly tighten the screw cap of the fuel tank.
- Before starting the engine, move to a location at least 3 meters
(approx. 10 feet) from where you fuelled the Power Cut (7), but
not within the extended swing range of the cutting disc (direction
of sparks).
- Fuel cannot be stored for an unlimited period of time. Buy only
as much as will be consumed in the near future.
- When making up the gasoline/oil mixture, always put the oil in
the mixing container rst, and then the gasoline.

in case of an emergency (within shouting distance).
- Observe all anti-noise regulations when working in residential
areas.
-
Never use the Power Cut near inammable materials or
explosive gases! The Power Cut can create sparks leading
to re or explosion!
- Make sure that all persons within 30 meters (100 feet), such
as other workers, are wearing protective gear (see "Protective
Equipment") (8). Children and other unauthorized persons must
remain more than 30 meters away from the working area. Keep
an eye out for animals as well (9).
-
Before starting work the Power Cut must be checked for
perfect function and operating safety according to the prescriptions. In particular, make sure that the cutting wheel is in
good condition(replace immediately if torn, damaged or bent),
the cutting wheel is properly mounted, the protective hood is
locked in place, the hand guard is properly mounted, the V-belt
has the proper tension, the throttle moves easily and the halfthrottle lock button functions properly, the grips are clean and
dry, and the combination switch functions properly (Start/Stop
(I/O) switch, choke). Visually inspect the mufer for damage and
possible dirt in the mufer area.
- Start the Power Cut only after complete assembly and inspec
tion. Never use the Power Cut when it is not completely assembled.

Cutoff discs
- The protection hood must always be on! Change discs only
with the engine off!
- There are two basic types of cutoff discs:
- For metal (hot cutting)
- For masonry (cold cutting)
WARNING!
Never use carbide tipped, circular saw blades or any kind of wood
cutting blades. Never cut any type of wood. Reactive forces can
cause severe personal injury from blade contact or thrown tips.
NOTE: When using diamond cutoff discs, always make sure to observe
the "direction of rotation" markings. Diamond discs should only be
used for cutting masonry/brick/ concrete etc.
- Cutoff discs are intended only for radial loading, i.e. for cutting. Do
not grind with the sides of the cutting disc! This will break the disc
(10)!
Caution!
Never change direction (turning radius less than 5 meters (16 feet), exert lateral (sideways) pressure, or tip the Power Cut during cutting (11)!
- Use a cutting disc only for cutting the materials it is intended for. The
proper type of disc must be used, for either metals or masonry.
- The arbor hole of the cutting disc must be an exact t with the arbor
or shaft. If the arbor hole is larger, it must be tted with an adapter
ring (available as an accessory).
-
The cutting disc must be rated for freehand cutting at up to 3850
rpm or 80 m/sec for 400 mm discs, 4370 rpm or 80 m/sec for 350
mm discs, or up to 5100 rpm or 80 m/s for 300 mm discs. Use only
cutting discs that comply with EN 12413, EN 13236.
- The disc must be free of defects (12). Do not use defective cutting
discs.
Always tighten the cutting disc mounting bolt to a torque of 30
Nm. Otherwise, the cutting disc can twist.
- Before starting the cutting disc, make sure you have a steady foot
ing.
- Put the Power Cut into operation only as described in this instruc
tion manual (13). Always place your left foot in the rear handle and
grasp the other handle rmly (with thumb and ngers). Other starting
methods are not allowed.
- When starting the Power Cut it must be well supported and securely
held. The cutting disc must not be touching anything.
- If the cutting disc is new, test it by running it at least 60 seconds at
top speed. When doing this, make sure that no persons or body parts
are in the extended swing range of the disc, in case it is defective
and ies apart.
-
When working with the Power Cut always hold it with both
hands. Take the back handle with the right hand and the tubular
handle with the left hand. Hold the handles tightly with your thumbs
facing your ngers.
-
CAUTION: When you release the throttle lever the disc will
keep spinning for a short period of time (free-wheeling effect).
- Continuously ensure that you have a safe footing.
-
WARNING – CARBON MONOXIDE PRODUCED DURING USE
-
CAN KILL – DO NOT USE POWER CUTTER INDOORS – MAKE
SURE THERE IS PROPER VENTILATION WHEN USING POWER
CUTTER IN TRENCHES OR OTHER CONFINED SPACES.
Switch off the Power Cut immediately if you observe any
-
changes in its operating behavior.
Switch off the engine before inspecting the V-belt tension or
-
tightening it, replacing the cutting wheel, repositioning the cutter
attachment (side or middle position) or eliminating faults (14).
- Turn off the engine immediately and check the disc if you hear or
feel any change in cutting behaviour.
- Turn off the Power Cut when taking a break or stopping work (14).
Place the unit in such a way that the disc is not touching anything
and cannot endanger anyone.
- Do not put the overheated Power Cut in dry grass or on any inam
mable objects. The mufer is very hot (danger of re).
IMPORTANT: After wet cutting, rst turn off the water feed and then
-
let the disc run at least 30 seconds, to ing off the remaining water
and prevent corrosion.
Hold the Power Cut such that you will not breathe in the
exhaust gas. Do not work in closed rooms or in deep holes
or ditches (danger of poisoning by fumes).

Kickback and lock-in
- When working with the Power Cut there is a danger of kickback
and lock-in.
- Kickback occurs when the top of the cutting disc is used for
cutting (15).
- This causes the Power Cut to be thrown back toward the user
with great force and out of control. Risk of injury!
To prevent kickback, observe the following:
- Never cut with the section of the cutting disc shown in gure 15.
Be especially careful when reinserting the disc into cuts
that have already been started!
- 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. Risk of injury!
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
(16), 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.
15
Working behavior / Method of working
- Before starting work, check the work area for any hazards
(electrical wires, inammable substances). Clearly mark the
work area (for example with warning signs or by cordoning off
the area).
- When working with the Power Cut hold it rmly by the front and
rear handles. Never leave the Power Cut unattended!
- Use the Power Cut at high speed as far as possible (see “Technical Data”).
- Only use the Power Cut during good light and visibility periods.
Be aware of slippery or wet areas, and of ice and snow (risk of
slipping).
- Never work on unstable surfaces. Make sure that there are no
obstacles in the working area, risk of stumbling. Always ensure
that you have a safe footing.
- Never cut above your shoulder height (17).
- Never stand on a ladder to cut (17).
- Never use the Power Cut while standing on scaffolding.
- Do not lean over too far when working. When putting down and
picking up the Power Cut, do not bend over from the waist, but
instead bend in the knees. Save your back!
- Guide the Power Cut in such a way that no part of your body
is within the extended swing range of the disc (18).
- Use cutting discs only for the materials for which they are designed!
- Use cutting discs only for the materials for which they are designed. Do not use the Power Cut to lift up and shovel away
pieces of material and other objects.
Important! Before cutting, remove all foreign objects, such as
rocks, gravel, nails etc. from the cutting area. Otherwise, such
objects can be ung away by the disc with great speed. Injury
hazard!
- When cutting workpieces down to length use a rm support.
If necessary, secure the workpiece from slipping, but do not
steady it with your foot or allow another person to hold it.
- When cutting round items, always secure them against rotation.
- When guiding the Power Cut by hand, use the side mounting
position of the cutter attachment only when actually necessary.
Otherwise, always use the central position. This gives the unit
a better balance, for reduced operator fatigue.

When using synthetic resin cutting discs, always observe the following:
CAUTION:
- 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 uids.
- Do not expose resin cutting discs to high humidity or
rain!
Do not use resin cutting discs past their use-by date (expiration date)! The date (quarter and year) is stamped on the disc’s
arbor ring.
EXAMPLE: 04 / 2007
This cutting disc can be used through the end of the fourth quarter
of 2007, if properly stored and correctly used.
Cutting metals
IMPORTANT!
Always wear approved respiratory protection!
Materials that can release toxic substances may be cut only
after notifying the proper authorities and under their supervision or that of a person appointed by them.
CAUTION!
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 (19) in order to direct the stream of sparks forward, away
from the operator (re 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 (20).
- 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.
- Worn discs have a smaller diameter than new discs, so that at
the same engine speed they have a lower effective circumferential speed and therefore do not cut as well.
- Cut I-beams and L-bars in steps; see Figure 21.
- Cut bands and plates like pipes: along the wide side with a long
cut.
- When cutting material under stress (supported material or mate
rial 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!
Cutting masonry and concrete
IMPORTANT!
Always wear approved respiratory protection!
Asbestos and other materials that can release toxic sub-
stances may be cut only after notifying the proper authorities
and under their supervision or that of a person appointed
by them. 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.
NOTE:
Mortar, stone, and concrete develop large quantities of dust during
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.
19
20
-
CAUTION!
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!
Be particularly careful in scrap-metal yards, junkyards, at ac
cident sites, and with haphazard piles of material. Precariously
balanced pieces or pieces under stress can act in unpredictable
ways, and may slide, jump out, or burst. Secure cutoff material
from falling! Always exercise extreme caution and use only
equipment that is in perfect working order.
Observe the accident-prevention rules and regulations of your
employer and/or insurance organization.

In wet cutting, the disc is wetted at an equal rate on both sides by
a trickle of water. DOLMAR offers the right accessories for all wet
cutting applications (see also "SPECIAL ACCESSORIES").
- Remove foreign objects such as sand, stones and nails found
within the working area. Caution: Watch out for electric wires
and cables!
The rapid rotation of the cutting disc at the point of contact
throws fragments out of the cut groove at high speed. For
your safety, swing the protection hood down as far as possible (23), so that material fragments are thrown forward,
away from the operator.
- 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 guring the actual cutoff.
NOTE:
For long, straight cuts we recommend using a trolley (24, see
also "SPECIAL ACCESSORIES"). This makes it much easier to
guide the unit straight.
- Perform the cut with a steady back-and-forth motion.
- When cutting slabs to size, you need not cut through the entire
material thickness (creating unnecessary dust). Instead, simply
make a shallow groove, and then knock off the excess material
cleanly on a at surface (25).
CAREFUL!
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.
Transport and storage
- Always turn off the Power Cut when transporting it or
moving it from place to place on a site (26).
Never carry or move the unit with the engine on or the
-
disc moving!
- Carry the unit only by the tubular (middle) handle with the cut
ting disc pointing behind you (26). Avoid touching the exhaust
mufer (burn hazard!)
- When moving the Power Cut over longer distances, use a
wheelbarrow or wagon.
- When transporting the Power Cut in a vehicle, make sure it is
securely positioned in such a way that no fuel can leak out.
Always remove the cutting disc before transporting the unit in
a vehicle. Before transporting in a vehicle, allow the Power Cut

Checking V-belt tension
IMPORTANT:
Exact V-belt tension is essential for maximum cutting per
formance with minimum fuel consumption. Improper V-belt
tension will result in premature wear to the V-belt and V-belt
wheel or damage to the clutch bearing.
If the Power Cut is new or the V-belt has been replaced,
retighten the V-belt after the rst hour of operation!
NOTE: The two fastening nuts (11) must be loosened before
tightening the V-belt or checking the tension.
To increase the belt tension, turn the tightening screw (12) to
the right (clockwise) with the combination wrench included with
the Power Cut.
The belt tension is correctly adjusted when the nut (13) is centred on the mark (14).
IMPORTANT:
After tightening/inspection, make certain to tighten
the fastening nuts (11) (30 ± 2 Nm).

Caution:
This tool uses petroleum products (gasoline and oil).
Be especially careful when handling gasoline.
Do not smoke. Do not allow gasoline to come near ames,
sparks or re (explosion hazard).
Fuel mixture
This tool is powered by a high-performance air-cooled two-stroke
engine. It runs on a mixture of gasoline and two-stroke engine
oil.
The engine is designed for unleaded regular gasoline with a
min. octane value of 87 (R+M)/2. In case no such fuel is available, you can use fuel with a higher octane value. This will not
affect the engine.
In order to obtain an optimum engine output and to protect
your health and the environment use unleaded fuel only.
To lubricate the engine, use a synthetic oil for two-stroke aircooled engines(quality grade JASO FC or ISO-L-EGD), which
has to be added to the fuel.
Gasoline

+
1.0 Us-gal. (3.7 l) 2.6 oz. (75 cm3)
2.5 Us-gal. (9.4 l) 6.4 oz. (189 cm3)
5.0 Us-gal. (18.9 l) 12.8 oz. (378 cm3)
The correct mixture ratio:
50:1 When using DOLMAR High Performance two-
stroke engine oil, i. e. 50 parts gasoline to 1
part oil.
50:1 When using other synthetic two-stroke engine
oil (quality grade JASO FC or ISO-L-EGD), i. e.
50 parts gasoline to 1 part oil.
DOLMAR High Performance two-stroke engine oil (50:1) is
available in the following sizes to suit your individual requirements:
2.6 oz. order number 986 100 100
6.4 oz. order number 986 100 101
NOTE: For preparing the fuel-oil mixture rst mix the entire oil
quantity with half of the fuel required, then add the remaining
fuel. Shake the nished mixture thoroughly before pouring it
into the tank.
Caution: Open the tank cap carefully, as pressure might
have built up inside!
It is not wise to add more engine oil than specied to
ensure safe operation. This will only result in a higher
production of combustion residues which will pollute the
environment and clog the exhaust channel in the cylinder
as well as the mufer. In addition, fuel consumption will
rise and performance will decrease.
The Storage of Fuel
Fuels have a limited storage life. Fuel and fuel mixtures
age through evaporation, especially at high temperatures.
Aged fuel and fuel mixtures can cause starting problems
and damage the engine.Purchase only that amount of fuel,
which will be consumed over the next few months. At high
temperatures, once fuel has been mixed it should be used
up in 6-8 weeks.
Use only approved and marked containers for transport
and storage. Store fuel only in dry, cool and secure
locations!
AVOID SKIN AND EYE CONTACT
Mineral oil products degrease your skin. If your skin comes in
contact with these substances repeatedly and for an extended
period of time, it will dry out. Various skin deseases may result.
In addition, allergic reactions are known to occur.
Eyes can be irritated by contact with oil. If oil comes into your
eyes, immediately wash them with clear water.
If your eyes are still irritated, see a doctor immediately!
Fuel mixture
Refuelling
IMPORTANT:
FOLLOW THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS!
Be careful and cautious when handling fuels.
The engine must be turned off and cooled down!
Carefully clean the area around the fuel-tank ller neck to keep
dirt from getting in the tank.
Place the unit on its side on an even surface.
Unscrew the tank cap and ll tank with fuel mixture. Take care
to avoid spilling.
Screw the tank cap back on hand-tight.
Clean screw cap and tank after refuelling. Never start or operate the Power Cut in the same place as it was fuelled!
If fuel gets on your clothing, change clothes immediately.

Starting the engine
if
necessary
This model is tted with a semiautomatic decompression valve
(1) to make starting easier. Press the rubber cover until you
can feel it engage. This pushes in the deompression valve
behind it. This in turn reduces the compression, so that it takes
less force to pull the starter cord to accelerate the engine to its
starting speed.
The high pressure in the combustion chamber after the rst
ignition automatically closes the decompression valve.
CAUTION:
Observe the SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS on page 4 and 5!
Start the Power Cut only after complete assembly and
inspection!
Move at least 3m (10 feet) away from the place where you
fuelled the Power Cut.
Make sure you have a good footing, and place the Power
Cut on the ground in such a way that the cutting disc is
not touching anything.
3 meters
Move the protective hood (3) into the proper position for the
work you intend to do (see illustration).
Grasp the grip (2). The hood (3) can swing in both ways within
its range of motion.
Caution:
Always make sure that the straight outer edge of the impact plate
(4) and the edge of the hood are parallel (see arrows).
If this is not the case, take the tool to a service center.

Pull the starter cable out slowly until you feel resistance (piston
is now just before top dead center).
Press in the decompression valve (5).
Pull starter cable quickly and rmly, until you hear the rst
ignition.
Important: Do not pull the starter cable out more than about
50 cm / 20”, and guide it back slowly by hand (instead of letting
it snap back).
Press in the decompression valve (5).
Move the combination switch (6) to the middle “I” position.
Again pull the starter cable quickly and rmly.
As soon as the engine is running, grasp the rear handle (the

Adjusting
the carburetor
NOTE: The grinding parts are equipped with an electronic
ignition to limit the speed.
At the factory the idling speed has been set to approx.
2500 rpm, but the running-in process of a new engine may
require slight readjustment of the idling speed.
Adjustments to the adjusting screws (L) and (H) may only
be made by an authorised DOLMAR service centre. Accordingly, the holes for the two screws are sealed shut.
For correct adjustment of the idling speed the following
steps must be carried out:
Start the engine and run it until it is warm (about 3 - 5
minutes).
Adjust the carburetor with the screwdriver (1, Order No. 944
340 001) included with the Power Cut. It has a lug that helps
with adjustment.
Readjust the idling speed.
If the cut-off disc is still turning when the engine is running,
unscrew the adjusting screw of the throttle valve (2) until the
cut-off disc is no longer turning. When the engine is left running
at idling speed, tighten the screw a little.
Switch off the engine
SERVICE
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
Before doing any work on the Power Cut turn off the engine,
remove the cutting disc, pull the plug cap off the spark plug
and wear protective gloves!
CAUTION:
Start the Power Cut only after complete assembly and
inspection.
IMPORTANT:
Because many of the parts and assemblies not mentioned
in this Instruction Manual are vital to the safety of the
unit, and because all parts are subject to a certain amount
of wear and tear, it is important for your own safety that
you have the unit checked and maintained regularly by a
DOLMAR service center.
