CUTTING BLADES
!
General
WARNING! A cutting blade may burst and
cause injury to the operator.
!
A cutting blade should be checked before
it is assembled on the saw and frequently
during use. Look for cracks, lost
segments (diamond blades) or pieces
broken off. Do not use a damaged cutting
blade.
Test the integrity of each new cutting
blade by running it at full throttle for about
1 minute.
Only use original cutting blades designed
by Husqvarna for use on this machine.
Husqvarna issues warnings and
recommendations for the use and proper
care of the cutting blades. Those warnings
come with the cutting blades. Read and
follow all instructions from Husqvarna.
• This machine is only to be used with Husqvarna´s
specially developed diamond blades intended for Cutn-Break. The blades have an integrated belt pulley
and are approved for freehand cutting.
• Diamond blades consist of a steel core provided with
segments that contain industrial diamonds.
• Always use a sharp diamond blade.
• Ensure the blades are not cracked or damaged in any
other way. Replace blades if necessary.
Diamond blades for different
materials
WARNING! Never use a cutting blade for
any other materials than what it was
!
intended to cut.
Never use a diamond blade to cut plastic
material. The heat produced during cutting
may melt the plastic and it can stick to the
cutting blade and cause a kickback.
Cutting metal generates sparks that may
cause fire. Do not use the machine near
ignitable substances or gases.
• Diamond blades are ideal for masonry and reinforced
concrete. Ask your dealer for help in choosing the
right product.
• Diamond blades are available in several hardness
classes. A "soft" diamond blade has a relatively short
service life and large cutting capacity. It is used for
hard materials such as granite and hard concrete. A
"hard" diamond blade has a longer service life and
reduced cutting capacity, and should be used for soft
materials such as brick and asphalt.
Water cooling
WARNING! Cool diamond blades
designed for wet cutting continuously
with water to prevent heating, which can
deform the diamond blade resulting in
damage to the machine and personal
injury.
• Water cooling must always be used.
• Using wet cutting blades without water can cause
excessive heat build-up, resulting in poor
performance, severe blade damage and is a safety
hazard.
• Water cools the blade and increases its service life
while also reducing the formation of dust.
Sharpening diamond blades
Diamond blades can become dull when the wrong feeding
pressure is used or when cutting certain materials such
as heavily reinforced concrete. Working with a dull
diamond blade causes overheating, which can result in
the diamond segments coming loose.
Sharpen the blades by cutting a soft material such as
sandstone or brick.
Transport and storage
• Make sure the machine is secured and that the cutting
blades are properly protected during the transport and
storage of the machine.
• Before use inspect all blades for transport or storage
damage.

ASSEMBLY
Assembly
WARNING! Always pull out the plug from
the outlet socket before cleaning,
!
maintenance or assembly.
Assembling the blades
• Husqvarna blades are especially manufactured and
approved for freehand cutting with the K 3000 Cut-nBreak. The blades have integrated belt pulley halves
and are to be changed in pairs.
• Loosen the nuts and clamping bolt which release the
bar. This will position the drive belt in a more
favourable position with regard to assembling the new
blades.
The drive belt is not clamped so easily.
• Dismantle the old blades by loosening the centre nut.
Check the drive belt for wear when the blades are
dismantled. When changing the drive belt see the
instructions under the heading ”Replacing the drive
belt”.
NOTICE! It is very important that the blades rotate when
the nut is tightened. This is to ensure that the belt is not
clamped between the integrated drive belt halves on the
blades when the blades/drive belt are pulled together
with the nut. Ideally this is done alternately, i.e. tighten a
little, rotate a little and repeat until the blades are
secured.
torque for the bolt holding the blade is: 15 Nm (130
in.lb).
NOTICE! Do not forget to tighten the belt and check the
belt adjustment before cutting. See the instructions
under the heading ”Inspecting and adjusting the drive
belt”.
Protection for the blades
• The guards should always be fitted on the machine.
Check that the guards are properly secured and work
before starting to cut.
• Position the blades on each side of the cutting arm.
Make sure that the holes for both guide pins in the
drive belt halves are aligned so that they correspond
with the holes in the washer, and the nut too. Now fit
the bolt and washer unit with guide pins. Tightening

Basic working techniques
WARNING! This section describes basic
safety directions for using a power
!
cutter. This information is never a
substitute for professional skills and
experience. If you get into a situation
where you feel unsafe, stop and seek
expert advice. Contact your dealer,
service agent or an experienced power
cutter user. Do not attempt any task that
you feel unsure of!
Do not pull the power cutter to one side,
this can cause the blade to jam or break
resulting in injury to people.
Under all circumstances avoid grinding
using the side of the blade; it will almost
certainly be damaged, break and can
cause immense damage. Only use the
cutting section.
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. Never cut
plastic materials with a diamond blade!
Cutting metal generates sparks that may
cause fire. Do not use the machine near
ignitable substances or gases.
Water cooling
Water cooling must always be used. Dry cutting causes
immediate overheating and machine and cutting blade
failure with a risk of personal injury.
• Always hold the machine in a firm grip with both
hands. Hold it so that the thumbs and fingers grip
round the handles.
• Check that the blade is not in contact with anything
when the machine is started
• Start cutting with the machine running at maximum
speed.
• Start cutting smoothly, allowing the machine to work
without forcing or pressing in the blade. Always cut at
maximum speed.
• Cut in the same direction when cutting into an existing
cut. Avoid cutting at an angle to the previous cut,
otherwise there is a risk of the blade jamming or that
the machine can ”climb in the cut” and cause a
kickback.
• Always cut from top to bottom (A).
• Remove the cutter and use a crowbar to remove the
material that remains between the cut (B).
At a low water pressure, for example when the water tank
is used, the restrictor can be dismantled to give the
correct water flow.
NOTICE! It is important not to use a too high water flow
without throttling as the belt can then slip.
Cutting technique
• Support the work piece in such a way that it is possible
to predict what will happen, and so that the cut
remains open while cutting.
14 – English
OPERATING
!
• Follow the same saw cut, but further in the work piece
(C), and repeat the work with the crowbar.
WARNING! When cutting vertically,
always cut from the top of the cut and
!
down. Never cut from the bottom of the
cut and up. This can cause a kickback
and result in personal injury.
• Repeat this working method until the required cutting
depth is achieved (D, E).
• The blade guards are designed to easily adapt to how
deep in the work piece the power cutter is moved.
Smooth cutting
To enable smooth cutting, the splash guard must be
adjusted.
• Release the latch.
• Slide the splash guard sideways.
• Lock the latch.
Kickback
Kickback is a sudden, rearward motion of the saw that can
occur if the blades are stalled (pinched, jammed, twisted)
in the so called kickback zone. Most kickbacks are small
and felt as small ”jerks” in the front handle. However,
kickback can be very powerful. If you are not paying
attention or have a poor grip the saw can be thrown all the
way back at you.
WARNING! Kickback can be very sudden
and viloent, throwing the saw back at
you. It can cause serious or even fatal
injuries. It is vital you understand what
causes kickback and how to aviod it
using proper cutting techique.
WARNING! Under all circumstances
avoid grinding using the side of the
!
blade; it will almost certainly be
damaged or break and can cause
immense damage. Only use the cutting
section.
Do not pull the power cutter to one side,
this can cause the blade to jam or break
resulting in injury to people.
English – 15
OPERATING
Cause of kickback
Kickback is caused if you are cutting with the kickback
zone of the blade for example when cutting ”upwards” or
towards you.
General rules
• Never cut upwards or towards you so that the kickback
zone becomes actively cutting.
• Always hold the machine in a firm grip with both
hands. Hold it so that the thumbs and fingers grip
round the handles.
• Never cut from a ladder. Use a platform or scaffold if
the cut is above shoulder height.
• Be alert to movement of the work piece or anything
else that can occur, which could cause the cut to close
and pinch the blade.
Pull in
Pull in occurs when the blades’ lower sections suddenly
stop or when the cut closes. (To avoid, see the
instructions under the heading ”General rules” and
”Pinching/rotation”, here below.).
Pinching/rotation
If the cut is pressed together this can lead to jamming.
The machine can be pulled down suddenly with a very
powerful jerk.
How to avoid pinching
Support the work piece in such a way that the cut remains
open during the cutting operation and when the cut is
finished.
• Keep a good balance and a firm foothold.
• When cutting vertically, always cut from the top of the
cut and down.
• Always cut at maximum speed.
• Do not cut with the upper quadrant (kickback zone) of
the blade. Avoid twisting or pushing the blades
sideways in the cut. This can cause kickback.
• Take care when inserting the blade in an existing cut.
Make certain that the cut is wide enough and that the
blades are not angled in the cut. This can cause
kickback.
• Stand at a comfortable distance from the work piece.
• Never cut above shoulder height.

MAINTENANCE
General
WARNING! The user must only carry out the maintenance and service work described in this
Operator's Manual. More extensive work must be carried out by an authorized service workshop.
!
Inspection and/or maintenance should be carried out with the motor switched off and the plug
disconnected.
Wear personal protective equipment. See instructions under the ”Personal protective equipment”
heading.
The life span or the runtime of the machine can be reduced and the risk of accidents can increase
if machine maintenance is not carried out correctly and if service and/or repairs are not carried
out professionally. If you need further information please contact your nearest service workshop.
Maintenance schedule
In the maintenance schedule you can see which parts of your machine that require maintenance, and with which
intervals it should take place. The intervals are calculated based on daily use of the machine, and may differ depending
on the rate of usage.

MAINTENANCE
Cleaning
WARNING! Do not use a high pressure
washer when rinsing the inside of the
!
machine.
The machine can withstand taking in damp air and
splashes during the cutting process. Clean water does
not affect the machine’s function.
When cutting materials such as concrete or brick, which
can contain salt, you must rinse the machine after the
work is finished. The cleaning reduces the risk for
accretions building up inside the engine, which can cause
leakage current between electric components, which in
turn can cause the ground fault circuit interrupter to turn
off without intention.
• Clean the machine daily by rinsing it with clean water
after the work is finished.
• Place the machine with the rear handle facing
upwards. Rinse the air intakes at the rear handle with
clean water. The water will run out through the front air
outlets.
• Connect the plug and run the engine dry for approx.
30 sec in order to speed up the drying of the engine.
Cooling system
• The machine is equipped with an efficient fan to cool
the motor. Cooling air which is drawn in through the
grille by the machines rear handle passes over the
stator and rotor and out through the front of the motor
housing.
6 Check the condition of the cutting blade.
7 Check and clean the cooling air openings.
8
Check that the cord and extension cord are intact and
in good condition. Never use the machine if the cord is
damaged, hand it in to an authorized service workshop
for repair.
Drive belt
NOTICE! The drive belt is fully enclosed and well-protected
from dust, dirt and mechanical damage when cutting.
Tensioning the drive belt
• Check the tension of the drive belt. Stick a screwdriver
in the notch.
• A correctly adjusted drive belt should have about 5
mm of movement.
• Tighten the drive belt.
• Loosen the two nuts.
• Loosen the clamping bolt.
• In order for the machine to always be cooled
sufficiently the cooling air openings must be kept clear
and clean. Blow down the machine regularly with
compressed air.
Functional inspection
General inspection
WARNING! Never use damaged cables.
They can cause serious, even fatal,
!
personal injuries.
1 Check that nuts and screws are tightened.
2 Check that the power switch unit works smoothly.
3 Check the residual-current device
4 Clean the outside of the machine.
5 Checking the blade guard
• Turn the eccentric plate anti-clockwise with a
screwdriver or a torx driver. This tightens the drive belt
by pushing the bar forwards.
• Tighten the nuts.
•
Screw the bolt tight. Hold still the eccentric plate so that
it doesn’t move along when you tighten the screws.
NOTICE! A new drive belt shall be tightened once after
30-60 minutes operation.

bouton de blocage ((A)) est enfoncé, l'interrupteur (B) est
libéré.
Le blocage de l'interrupteur reste enfoncé tant que
l'interrupteur est enfoncé. Quand la poignée est
relachée, l'interrupteur et le blocage de l'interrupteur
reviennent en position initiale. Ce retour s'effectue grâce
à deux systèmes de ressorts de rappel indépendants l'un
de l'autre. Dans cette position, la machine s'arrête et
l'interrupteur se bloque.
Contrôle du blocage de l'interrupteur
• Contrôler que l’interrupteur est bloqué quand le
blocage de l’interrupteur est en position de repos.

Démarrage en douceur et protection
contre les surcharges
La machine est équipée d'un dispositif électronique de
démarrage en douceur et d'une protection contre la
surcharge.
Si la charge sur la machine dépasse un certain niveau, le
moteur se met à pulser. Si la charge est allégée, le moteur
retourne à la normale et la découpe peut continuer.

ÉQUIPEMENT DE SÉCURITÉ DE LA MACHINE
Si l'on continue à utiliser la machine avec le moteur qui
pulse, le système électronique coupe le courant après un
certain temps. Plus la charge est élevée, plus la coupure
est rapide.
Si le disque de coupe se coince, le système électronique
coupe immédiatement le courant.
Protège-lame
Cette protection est placée au-dessus et en dessous du
disque de découpe et a pour fonction d’empêcher que
des éclats de disque ou de matériau ne soient projetés en
direction de l’utilisateur.
