▶ Mount pulley stands at the wire entry and exit points in order to reduce the risk of wire
whiplash.
◁ The whiplash effect results in rapid acceleration of the sawing wire, possibly
causing parts of the wire to fly off with great force.
▶ Make sure there are no objects (e.g. scaffold bars) within the areas in which whiplash
may occur.
◁ In the event of wire breakage, the free end of the sawing wire could be deflected in
an unforeseen direction by an object of this kind.
▶ Operate the saw only when the wire guards / covers are correctly fitted and when the
sawing wire has been fed through the hollow axles of the pulley stands mounted right
at the wire entry and exit points.
▶ Always wear protective gloves.
◁ The wire gets hot and may cause injury such as cuts or burns.
2.1.7 Safety instructions applicable to transporting the wire saw
▶ Avoid lifting and carrying heavy objects. Use suitable lifting equipment and means of
transport and share heavy loads between several people.
▶ Use the grips provided for transportation. Keep the grips clean and free from oil and
grease.
▶ Bear in mind that the machine could fall over. Stand the machine only on a solid, level
surface. Use the forward-facing pivoting pulleys to help steady the wire saw against a
suitable surface.
▶ Secure the machine and its components to prevent movement or falling over during
transportation.
▶ The machine may be lifted by crane only using tested and approved lifting gear at the
lifting points provided. Before lifting, check that all removable items of equipment are
securely attached to the drive unit and that the end stop is fitted. Never loiter beneath
a load suspended by a crane or lifting equipment.
