Operation 5. Operation Checks before beginning sawing 1. On-site preparations must be completed (supports, water collection, etc.). 2. The power supply must be positioned outside the danger zones. The areas in front of and behind the object where sawing is to take place are danger zones and must be secured and cordoned off. No persons may remain in a danger zone.
