Work area safety

• Always check the back of the wall where the guide bar
and diamond chain comes out when cutting through.
Secure, cordon off and make sure that no people can
be injured or materials damaged.
• Always check and mark out where gas pipes are
routed. Cutting close to gas pipes always entails
danger. Make sure that sparks are not caused when
cutting in view of the risk of explosion. Remain
concentrated and focused on the task. Carelessness
can result in serious personal injury or death.
• Make sure that no pipes or electrical cables are routed
in the working area or in the material to be cut.
• Make sure there are no live electrical cables within the
working area.

working area. Otherwise there is a risk of serious
personal injury. The safety distance is 15 meters (50
ft).
