2 Safety Precautions and
Working Techniques
Special safety precautions must be
taken when working with the cut-off
machine, due to the very high rota-
tional speed of the abrasive wheel.
It is important that you read and
understand the User Manual before
commissioning and keep it in a safe
place for future reference. Non-
observance of the safety precautions
may result in serious or even fatal
injury.
Observe all applicable local safety regulations,
e.g. by trade organizations, social insurance
institutions, labor safety authorities etc.
As for employers within the European Commun-
ity, the provision 2009/104/EC is binding - Safety
