GENERAL WORKING INSTRUCTIONS
This section describes basic safety rules for using a power
cutter. Follow these general working instructions, but do not use
a power cutter in a situation where you cannot call for help in
case of an accident.
Basic safety precautions
IMPORTANT INFORMATION! Never work with a
power cutter that is damaged or incorrectly
adjusted. Never work with a power cutter that has
parts missing or where the assembly has not been
done in a safe manner. Check that the cutting blade
stops rotating when the throttle is released. If you
encounter a situation where you are uncertain how
to proceed you should ask an expert.
Avoid all usage which you consider to be beyond your
capability.
• Check that no one is in the immediate vicinity when the
machine is started or while working with the machine to
ensure that people, animals or other things cannot affect your
control of the power cutter.
• Avoid usage in unfavourable weather conditions, for example,
thick fog, heavy rain, strong winds or extreme cold, etc. To
work in bad weather conditions is tiring and can create
dangerous circumstances, e.g. slippery surfaces.
• Never start to work with the power cutter before the working
area is clear and you have a firm foothold. Look out for any
obstacles with unexpected movement. Ensure when cutting
that no material can become loose and fall, causing operating
injury.Take great care when working on sloping ground.
• Make sure clothing and parts of the body do not come into
contact with the cutting blade when the engine is started.
• Maintain a safe distance from the cutting blade when the
engine is running.
• The blade guard should always be fitted when the engine is
running.
• Ensure that the working area is sufficiently illuminated to
create a safe working environment.
• Do not move the power cutter with the blade rotating.
• Some working positions may create greater stress on the
operator.
• Make sure that no pipes or electrical cables are routed in the
area to be cut.

WARNING! Use a Partner fuel can with an
anti-spill device. Fuel and fuel fumes are
highly flammable. Think of the risks of fire,
explosion and breathing in fumes. Stop the
engine before refuelling. Do not overfill with
fuel. Mop up any spills on the ground or the
machine. If you spill fuel on yourself or your
clothes, change your clothes. Move the
machine at least 3 metres from the refuelling
site before starting.
Only use the machine in areas with good
ventilation. Neglect can result in serious injury

Cutting technique
The technique described below is of a general character. Check
information for each blade regarding individual cutting characteristics (for example, a diamond blade requires less feeding
pressure than an abrasive disc).
1.Support the work piece in
such away that you can
predict what will happen
and so it will not pinch.
2.Always cut at full throttle.
3.Start cutting gently, do
not force or squeeze the
blade in.

suffering with blood circulation problems.
Seek medical attention if you experience
physical symptoms that can be related to over
exposure to vibrations. Examples of such
symptoms are numbness, lack of feeling,
“tickling“, “pricking“, pain lack of or a
reduction in normal strength, changes in the
colour of the skin or its surfaces. These
symptoms normally appear in the fingers,
hands or wrists.
Water cooling
WARNING!
Water cooling, which is only used on petrol
!
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 blade causes
overheating and finally the loss of a segment (part of a cutting
blade).
Sharpen against a soft material such as sandstone or brick.
Blade vibration
The blade can become out of shape (not round) and vibrate if a
too high feeding pressure is used or if the blade is pressed into
the work piece.
A lower feeding pressure ought to stop the vibration. Otherwise
replace the cutting blade.
driven power cutters and when cutting
concrete, cools the blade and increases its
service life as well as reducing dust (see the
section Abrasive discs). Among the disadvantages are difficulties at very low temperatures, the risk of damaging the floor and other
sections of the building and risk for slippage.
4.Use a high blade speed.
5.Move the blade slowly
backwards and forwards.
6.Use a small part of the
blade’s cutting edge.
7.Only use the blade’s
cutting edge when
cutting.
8.Cut with the blade fully
vertical – at right angles
to the work piece.
WARNING!
Under all circumstances avoid cutting using
!
the side of the blade; it will almost certainly
be damaged, break and can cause immense
damage. Only use the cutting section.
Kickback
Kickback can occur very suddenly and with great force. If the
following directives are not followed, it can result in serious or
even fatal injury.
If the sector of the blade illustrated below is used for cutting the
blade can start to climb causing the power cutter to kickback
upwards and backwards towards the user with immense force.
How to avoid kickback
1.Never cut with the
segment illustrated in the
diagram.
2.Keep a good balance and
a firm foothold.
3.Use both hands and take
a firm grip with the thumb
and fingers around the
handle.
4.Stand at a comfortable
distance from the work
piece.
5. Run the power cutter at
full throttle.
6.Take care when inserting
the blade in an existing
cut.
!
WARNING!
Do not pull the power cutter to one side, this
can cause the blade to jam or break resulting
in injury to people.
7. Never cut above shoulder
height.
8.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.
English – 7
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Pull in
Pull in occurs when the lower part of the blade is suddenly
stopped or when the cut closes. (To avoid this see the section
How to avoid kickback
”
” and
”Pinching/rotation”
below)
Pinching/rotation
Pinching occurs when the cut closes. The power cutter can be
pulled down suddenly with a very powerful movement.
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.
Abrasive discs
Abrasive discs are not
intended for use with water. If
an abrasive disc is stored in
humid conditions, this can
cause imbalance resulting in
injury.
Check the speed of the
drive shaft
Use a tachometer regularly to
check the speed of the drive
axle at full throttle and without
a load. The maximum speed
is stated on the machine.
Care and storage
General
Partner’s power cutters are robust and durable. However, as
they are used at a high processing rate all service procedures
must be carried out at the times and in the manner described,
so that the machine always works efficiently and safely.
Read this Operator’s Manual to determine which service
routines you can carry out and ensure that all other service
work is carried out by an authorised service workshop.
Power cutter
Always handle the power cutter carefully and store it with the
blade removed.
Cutting blades
• All blades should be
removed from the cutter
after use and stored
carefully.
• Special care should be
taken with abrasive discs.
• Abrasive discs must be
stored on a flat, level
surface. If blades are
supplied with a backing
pad then a spacer should
be used to keep them flat.
• Store cutting blades in
dry, frost free conditions.
!
• Remove the blade before
the power cutter is moved
or transported.
• Inspect new blades for
transport or storage
damage.
WARNING!
The machine must be adjusted at an
authorised service workshop before it may be
used, if the speed is higher than that stated on
the machine.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
CUTTING BLADES
General
Cutting blades are available in two standard designs; abrasive
discs and diamond blades
WARNING!
!
A cutting blade may burst and cause injury to
the operator.
Abrasive discs
The cutting material on abrasive discs consists of grit bonded
using an organic binder. ”Reinforced blades” are made up of a
fabric or fibre base that prevents total breakage at maximum
working speed if the blade should be cracked or damaged. (The
term reinforced does not refer to those cutting blades that are
only reinforced around the flange).
A cutting blade’s performance is determined by the type and
size of abrasive corn, and the type and hardness of the bonding
agent.
Characteristics that give the blade a shorter service life and
greater cutting capacity are said to make the blade ”softer”. A
blade with a longer service life and slower cutting capacity is a
blade with a ”harder” effect.
High quality cutting blades are normally more economical.
Lower quality cutting blades usually have an inferior cutting
capacity and shorter service life, which results in higher cost per
processed material.

a reducing bush. Contact your service workshop for details.
WARNING!
Cool diamond blades continuously with
!
water to prevent overheating that can cause
the blade to break and pieces being thrown
off resulting in injury and damage.
Using diamond blades
Proceed as follows:
• Let the cutting blade rotate in the same direction as the arrow
markings indicate.
• Cool continually with water.
• Keep the cutting blade sharp.
• Remove the cutting blade when the machine is transported.
Avoid:
• Running the cutting blade in the wrong direction.
• Forcing a dull blade or wedging the blade into a cut.
• Transporting the power cutter with the blade fitted.
• Letting the blade fall on the work piece.
Diamond blades for dry cutting
Diamond blades for dry cutting are a new generation of blades
that do not require water cooling. However, the blades are still
damaged by excessive heat. It is good economics to let the
blade cool by simply lifting the blade from the cut every 30–60
seconds and let it rotate in the air, for 10 seconds to cool

Checking the drive shaft and flanges
• Check that the threads on
the drive shaft are
undamaged.
• Check that the contact
surfaces of the cutting blade
and flanges are flat, run
correctly on the spindle and
are free from foreign
objects.
Do not use flanges that are
twisted, have damaged
edges, untrue or dirty. Do
not use different size
flanges..
Fitting the cutting blade
Partner cutting blades are
manufactured and approved
for freehand cutting. The
paper labels on each side of
the blade are there to
distribute the pressure from
the flange washer and prevent
the blade from slipping.
The blade is placed between
the inner flange hub (A) and
the flange hub (B). The
flange hub is turned so that it
fits on the axle. The cutting
blade is tightened using the
socket spanner
501 69 17-02.
The shaft can be locked using
a screwdriver, steel pin or the
like. This is slid in as far as
possible. The blade is tightened clockwise.
Tightening torque for the bolt
holding the blade is:
15-25 Nm (130-215 in.lb).
Blade guard

B
The blade guard should
always be fitted on the
power cutter.
The guard should be adjusted
so that the rear section is
close to the work piece.
Cutting fragments and sparks
are then collected by the
guard and led away from the
user.
12 – English
FUEL HANDLING
Fuelmix
NOTE! The power cutter is equipped with a two-stroke engine
and must always be run using a mixture of petrol and two-stroke
engine oil. It is important to accurately measure the amount of
oil to be mixed to ensure that the correct mixture is obtained.
When mixing small amounts of fuel, even small inaccuracies
can drastically affect the ratio of the mixture.
Always provide for good ventilation when
!
Petrol
• Use good quality unleaded
or leaded petrol.
• The lowest octane
recommended is 90. If you
run the engine on a lower
octane grade than 90 socalled, knocking can occur.
This gives rise to a high
engine temperature, which
can result in serious engine
damage.
Two-stroke oil
• For the best results use
PARTNER two-stroke oil,
which has been especially
developed for power
cutters. Mixing ratio 1:50
(2%).
• If PARTNER two-stroke oil
is not available, you may
use another two-stroke oil
of good quality that is
intended for air cooled
engines. Contact your
dealer when selecting an
oil. Follow the
manufacturer’s
recommended mixing ratio.
• Never use two-stroke oil
intended for water cooled
outboard engines, socalled, outboard oil.
• Never use oil intended for
four-stroke engines.
Mixing
• Always mix the petrol and
oil in a clean container
intended for fuel.
• Always start by filling half
the amount of the petrol to
be used. Then add the
entire amount of oil. Mix
(shake) the fuel mixture.
Add the remaining amount
of petrol.
• Mix (shake) the fuel mixture
thoroughly before filling the
saw’s fuel tank.
• Do not mix more than max.
one month’s supply of fuel.
• If the power cutter is not
used for some time the fuel
tank should be emptied and
cleaned.

MAINTENANCE
Fuel filter
• The fuel filter sits inside the fuel tank.
• The fuel tank must be protected from contamination when
filling. This reduces the risk of operating disturbances caused
by blockage of the fuel filter.
• The filter cannot be cleaned but must be replaced with a new
filter when it blocked. The filter should be changed at least
once per year.
Air filter
The air filter should be cleaned regularly removing dust and dirt
to avoid:
• Carburettor malfunction
• Starting problems
• Reduced engine power
• Unnecessary wear to
engine parts
1
The air filter system consists
of a main filter and a back-up
filter:
2
A filter used for a long period of time can never be completely
cleaned. Therefore all air filters must be replaced periodically
with a new filter. A damaged air filter must always be
replaced.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION!
Insufficient care of the air filter will cause deposits on the
spark plug resulting in abnormal wear to engine parts.
Water valve
• The main filter is an oiled
foam rubber filter that is
easily accessible under the
filter cover (A). In dusty
conditions this filter should
be inspected/replaced after
every other fuelling. In order
to obtain a good filtering
effect, the filter must be
inspected/replaced regularly
or cleaned and oiled. A
special PARTNER oil has
been produced for this
purpose.
• Remove the filter. Wash the
filter carefully in tepid,
soapy water. After cleaning
rinse the filter thoroughly in
clean water. Squeeze out
the filter and let the filter
dry. NOTE! Compressed air
at a high pressure can
damage the foam.
• IOil the filter carefully. It is
extremely important that the
entire filter is saturated in
oil.
Water filter
Check and clean the filter as
necessary.
• A foam rubber filter that has
been washed many times
wears. Replace with a new
filter if it is not elastic and
seals well against the filter
cover.
• The back-up filter is a paper filter and is accessible under the
cover B. This filter should be replaced/cleaned when the
engine power drops. The filter is cleaned by shaking or
carefully using compressed air. Note the filter must not be
washed!

MAINTENANCE
Starter
WARNING!
!
Replacing a broken or worn starter cord
• Loosen the filter cover and
cylinder cover.
• Loosen the bolts that hold
the starter against the
crankcase and lift off the
starter unit.
• The recoil spring sits in its tensioned posi
tion in the starter housing and can with
careless handling fly out and cause personal
injury.
• When replacing the recoil spring or the
starter cord great care should be exercised.
Always wear protective glasses.
Tensioning the recoil spring
• Lift up the starter cord from
the cut out on the pulley and
turn the pulley approx. 2
turns clockwise.
NOTE! Ensure the starter
pulley can be turned at least
a further 1/2 turn when the
starter cord is fully
extended.
Replacing a broken recoil spring
• Lift the starter pulley (see
"Changing a broken or worn
starter cord"
• Loosen the screws holding
the spring cassette.
).
• Pull out the cord approx. 30
cm and lift it out of the cutout in the starter-pulley’s
periphery. Reset the recoil
spring by allowing the pulley
to slowly rotate backwards.
• Loosen the screw in the
centre of the starter-pulley
and lift off the pulley. Insert
and secure the starter cord
in the starter pulley. Wind
on approx. 3 turns of the
cord on the pulley. Fit the
pulley on the recoil spring
so that the end of the recoil
spring hooks on the pulley.
Fit the screw in the centre of
the pulley. Thread the
starter cord through the hole
in the starter housing and
the starter handle. Tie a
good knot on the end of the
cord.
• Disassemble the recoil
spring by tapping the pully
(with its inside facing down)
lightly against a working
bench or similar. If the
spring pops out when
assembling, it should be
mounted again, out and in
towards the centre.
• Lubricate the recoil spring
with thin oil. Assemble the
starter pulley, and tension
the recoil spring.
Fitting the starter
• Fit the starter by first pulling
out the starter cord and then
placing the starter in
position on the crankcase.
No slowly release the
starter cord so that the
pawls grip in the pulley.
• Fit and tighten the screws
that hold the starter.

MAINTENANCE
Spark plug
The condition of the spark plug
is affected by:
• An incorrect carburettor
setting.
• An incorrect fuel mixture
(too much oil).
• A dirty air filter.
These factors cause deposits
on the spark plug electrode
that may result in malfunction
or starting difficulties.
• If the machine is low on
power, difficult to start or
runs poorly while idling
always check the spark
plug first. If the spark plug
is dirty, clean it and at the
same time check that the
electrode gap is 0,5 mm
(.020"). The spark plug
should be changed after
about one month of
operation or earlier if
necessary.
NOTE! Always use the recommended type of spark plug. (see
chapter
the cylinder/piston.
”Technical data”
)! An incorrect spark plug can damage
0,5 mm
Muffler
The muffler is designed in
order to reduce the noise level
and to direct the exhaust
gases away from the operator.
The exhaust gases are hot
and can contain sparks, which
may cause fire if directed
against dry and combustible
material
Cooling system
To obtain the lowest possible running temperature the power
cutter is equipped with a cooling system.
The cooling system consists
of:
1. An air intake on the
starter unit.
5
2. Air flow guide.
3. Cooling fins on the
flywheel
4. Cooling fins on the
cylinder
5. Cylinder cover (leads cold
air onto the cylinder).
Clean the cooling system
using a brush at least once
a week, in difficult
conditions more often. A
dirty or blocked cooling
system results in the power
cutter overheating, which
causes damage to the piston
and cylinder.
