Cutting area safety
WARNING! You are responsible to ensure
!
that animals and onlookers are not within
the working area. Do not start cutting until
the working area is clear.
• Observe your surroundings to ensure that nothing can
affect your control of the machine.
• Ensure that no one/nothing can come into contact with the
cutting equipment or be hit by parts if the blade breaks.
• Do not install a blade on the machine until it has been
transported into the cutting area.
• Do not use the machine in bad weather, such as dense
fog, heavy rain, strong wind, intense cold, etc. Working in
bad weather is tiring and can lead to dangerous
conditions, e.g. slippery surfaces.
• Never start to work with the machine 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 injury to the operator.Take great care when
working on sloping ground.
• Ensure that the working area is sufficiently illuminated to
create a safe working environment.
• Make sure that no pipes or electrical cables are routed in
the working area or in the material to be cut.
OPERATING
• Running an engine in a confined or badly ventilated area
can result in death due to asphyxiation or carbon
monoxide poisoning.

Basic working techniques

• This machine is designed and intended for cutting of fresh
and hardened concrete in different hardness classes and
of asphalt.
• Always saw in a manner that permits easy access to the
machine stop.
• Check that no tools or other objects have been left lying
on the machine.
• Always check that the blade guard is fitted correctly before
starting the machine. Never cut without using the blade
guard.
• Clearly mark out all cuts to be made before you start
sawing, plan these so they can be carried out without
danger to persons or the machine.
• 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.
• Do not stand behind or in front of the blade path while the
engine is running.
• Do not leave the machine unattended while the engine is
running.
• Never cock, jam wedge or twist blade in a cut.
• Make sure that there is always another person close at
hand when you use the machine, so that you can call for
help if an accident should occur.
• Never stand behind or in front of blade path while the
engine is running. The operator position is between the
two handlebars.
