FEATURES & ADVANTAGES The MC590 diesel floor saw impresses with its excellent price-performance ratio, robust technology and simple operation. Optimum power transmission through high-performance V-belts Torsion-resistant sheet metal frame construction Low center of gravity for an exact saw cut ...
Intended The LISSMAC floor saw is a floor angle grinder and is exclusively for cutting joints in concrete or asphalt with water. Cutting requires a tool in the form of a diamond saw blade. The floor saw may only be operated by one person.
1.1. Organizational measures The operating manual must be readily available at the place of use. Supplements to the operating manual include general statutory and other binding regulations for preventing accidents and protecting the environment and must be obeyed. Such regulations may also deal with, for example, the handling of hazardous substances, the wearing of personal protective equipment and with road traffic regulations.
1.2. Choice of personnel and qualification; fundamental obligations Operators must be aged 18 or above and they must be mentally and physically capable of operating the floor saw. All persons must be instructed in the operation and be expressly assigned by the employer with the operation of the floor saw.
Page 14
1.3.2. Commissioning When fitting the saw blade, protect your hands from sharp edges. Make sure the substrate that is used for cutting meets the load-bearing capacity. All obstacles must be removed from the cutting area and good lighting must be provided. Visual check of the entire floor saw for any damage and defects.
1.3.4. Relocating the floor saw The floor saw may only be relocated when the saw blade is stationary. Before leaving the operating position on the floor saw, the combustion engine must be switched off and the saw blade must be at a standstill. A rotating saw blade poses a high risk of injury.
1.4.2. Electrical energy Only use original fuses with the prescribed amperage. The floor saw must be switched off immediately in the event of faults. Electrical work may only be carried out by certified qualified experts. Regularly inspect and test the electrical equipment of the machinery. Defects such as loose connections or damaged cables must be remedied immediately.
1.6. Packaging and storage In order to ensure sufficient protection during dispatch and transport, the machine and its components were packed carefully. The machine should be checked for damage upon receipt. The packing of the device consists of recyclable materials. Place them into the containers provided for recycling so that they can be recycled.

5.2. Operating materials Diesel Only fill up with sulphur-free diesel fuel in accordance with EN 590 / ASTM D 975 (ULSD). If other fuels or fuel mixtures are used, the emission values will change and the warranty will become void. Motor oil Only use engine oil SAE 10W-40 with specification ACEA E6/E7/E9 (API CK-4).
Page 81
5.3. Replacing air filter cartridges The air filter filters the ambient air and prevents the penetration of foreign matter into the combustion chamber. Dust builds up in the air filter over time and reduces the air flow. The performance is reduced and the motor can be damaged thereby. We therefore recommend checking the air filter regularly and replacing it if necessary.
