Working Techniques

Cutting
Work calmly and carefully – in daylight
conditions and only when visibility is
good. Do not endanger others – stay
alert at all times.
The abrasive wheel must
be guided straight in the
cut, without wedging.
Never exert lateral pres -
sure on the abrasive
wheel.
Do not use for lateral
grinding or scrubbing.
Do not stand in line with the abrasive
wheel. Ensure sufficient freedom of
movement, especially in construction
trenches there must be sufficient space
for the user and for the part being cut to
fall.
Do not lean too far forwards and never
bend over the abrasive wheel.
