▶ Damaged or faulty switches must be replaced at a Hilti service center. Do not use a machine, power tool or appliance that cannot be switched on and off at the main switch.
▶ Do not start work until the drive unit and the pulley stands have been securely and firmly secured to a solid sub-base. A toppling or dropped part can result in serious damage or injury. ▶ Connect the electric power and compressed air supply only once the wire saw has been set up completely.
