MACHINE´S SAFETY EQUIPMENT
• Check that the power trigger and the power trigger
lockout move freely and that the return spring works
properly.
Hand guard
WARNING! Always check that the guard

is correctly fitted before starting the
machine.
The hand guard prevents hands from coming into contact

loses grip on the front handle.
Checking the hand guard
• Check that the hand guard is not damaged. Replace
the guard if damaged.
Cover, spray guard and rear right hand

The cover and spray guard provide protection against
contact with moving parts, ejected debris, thrown water
and concrete slurry. The spray guard and rear right hand
guard are also design to catch the diamond chain if it
snaps or jump of.
Checking the cover, spray guard and rear right hand
guard
• Ensure there are no cracks or holes from slurry
blasting in the cover and guards. Replace cover or
guards if damaged.
