2.1 Safety instructions

In addition to the safety rules listed in the individual sections of these operating instructions, the following
rules must be strictly observed at all times.

2.1.1 Personal safety

▶ Use the right machine for the job. Do not use the machine for purposes for which it was not intended.
Use it only as directed and when in technically faultless condition.
▶ Never tamper with or modify the machine in any way.
▶ The product may be used only by persons who are familiar with it, who have been trained on how to use
it safely and who understand the resulting hazards. The product is not intended for use by children.
▶ Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when working with the product. Do not
use the product while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating the product may result in serious personal injury.
▶ The user and any other persons in the vicinity must wear suitable eye protection, a hard hat, ear
protection, protective gloves, protective footwear and breathing protection while the machine is in use.
▶ Always hold the machine with both hands on the grips provided. Keep the grips dry, clean and free from
oil and grease.
▶ Never use the machine without the guard (hood). Adjust the guard to the correct position. The guard
must be securely attached and positioned for maximum safety, so that the smallest possible part of the
cutting disc is exposed to the operator. Take steps to ensure that any sparks created while the product
is in use do not present a hazard. The guard helps to protect the operator from broken disc fragments,
accidental contact with the disc and uncontrolled flying sparks.
▶ Avoid touching rotating parts – risk of injury!
▶ Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This will allow you to control the product better, even in
unexpected situations. Avoid unusual body positions.
▶ Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
▶ If the product or the cutting disc has been dropped or has fallen, check the product and the cutting disc
for damage. Change the cutting disc if necessary.
▶ Switch the product off before adjusting the guard or changing the cutting disc.
▶ Wear protective gloves also when changing the cutting disc. Touching the cutting disc presents a risk of
injury (cuts or burns).
▶ Wear eye protection. Flying fragments present a risk of injury to the body and eyes.
▶ Use of the wet cutting method is preferable in order to reduce the amount of dust produced when cutting
mineral materials and asphalt.
▶ Avoid skin contact with the sawing slurry created when using the wet cutting method.
▶ Dust from material such as paint containing lead, some wood species, minerals and metal may be
harmful. Contact with or inhalation of the dust may cause allergic reactions and/or respiratory diseases
among operators or bystanders. Material containing asbestos may be worked on only by specialists.
To reduce the amount of dust produced when cutting, we recommend use of the wet cutting method.
Ensure that the workplace is well ventilated. The use of a dust mask of filter class P2 is recommended.
Follow national requirements for the materials you want to work with.
▶ Improve the blood circulation in your fingers by relaxing your hands and exercising your fingers during
breaks between working. Exposure to vibration during long periods of work can lead to disorders of the
blood vessels and nervous system in the fingers, hands and wrists.
