1.3 Safety instructions for particular operating phases
Before commencing work
Before commencing work, make yourself familiar with the working environment at the place of
use. The working environment includes: obstacles in the area of work and manoeuvre, the
firmness of the floor, necessary protection at the site relating to public thoroughfares and the
availability of help in the event of accidents.
Check for correct mounting of the blade regularly.
Immediately remove damaged or badly worn blades, as they endanger the operator whilst
rotating.
Always cut with the blade guard in position.
Only fit NORTON diamond blades to the machine! The use of other tools can damage the machine!
Read the blades' specifications carefully to choose the correct tool for your application.
Attention is drawn to the use of BS2092 safety goggles in conformity with specified Processes No.8
of the Protection of Eyes Regulation 1974, Regulation 2(2) Part 1. Also use the other safety
equipment as mentioned in the symbols plus a dust mask when dry cutting is applied.
For security reasons, never leave the machine unattended, untied or unlocked.
While the engine is running
Do not move the machine whilst the blade is running idle.
Do not run the machine without the security guards in place.
Apply cooling water continuously whilst cutting and in good time (even when dry cutting to avoid
dust)!
Petrol powered machines:
Always use the fuel advised.
In confined areas, exhaust gases should be evacuated and the job site properly aerated.
Petrol and diesel machines, which by their nature emit toxic exhaust gases, must not be used in
places prohibited by the Health at Work etc. Act 1974 or which are prohibited by Factory
Inspectors or Safety Officers.
Fuel is flammable. Before filling the tank, shut down the engine, extinguish all open flames and
do not smoke. Take care that no petrol is spilled on any motor part. Always wipe up spilled fuel.
