18. Check that hoses are connected correctly to the tool and that the hydraulic couplings lock as intended before applying pressure to the
hydraulic system. Couplings are locked by turning the outer sleeve on the female coupling so that the slot comes away from the ball.
Pressure hoses in the system must always be connected to the tool's intake. Return hoses in the system must always be connected to the
tool's outlet. Mixing up the connections can cause the tool to work in reverse, which can cause personal injury.
Do not connect tools with a closed centre to a hydraulic system with an open centre. This can cause extreme heat in the system, and/or
serious personal injury.
19. Keep hydraulic couplings free from dirt.
20. Always switch of the hydraulic power unit's main switch before moving the equipment.
21. Check that the hydraulic hoses are not damaged, or can become damaged during the course of the work. Leakage can lead to the risk of
slipping.
22. The saw must not be run without cooling water. A poorly cooled blade can cause segments to come loose from the blade. The coolant also
binds concrete dust.
23. Never use a damaged blade or a damaged saw.
24. Check that the wall mountings and rails are well anchored.
25. Make sure that there is always another person close at hand when you use the machines, so that you can call for help if an accident should
occur.
26. Do not use machines if they do not function as they should.
27. Never change the safety devices. Check regularly that they function as they should. The machines must not be operated with defective safety
devices, or without safety devices fitted.
28. Regulations for the prevention of accidents, and other general safety and occupational medicine regulations, and must always be followed.
29. Make sure that you always have first-aid close at hand when using the machines.
30. Make sure to keep your hands and feet away from rotating parts.
31. Keep all parts in functional order, and make sure that all attachment parts are correctly tightened. Replace worn or damaged decals.
32. Store the machines in a locked area, where they are inaccessible for children or adults who have not been trained to handle the machines.
33. Secure or anchor concrete blocks that have been cut loose properly. The heavy weight of material cut loose can cause extensive damage if
they are not moved under controlled circumstances.
34. Always check the back of the wall where the blade comes out when cutting through. Cordon off and make sure that no people can be injured,
or materials damaged.
35. Pay attention to the risk of fire during sparking and the development of heat. If there are no local fire protection regulations for cutting or
grinding machines, apply the regulations for arc welding.
WARNING!
Always use approved protective clothing and approved protective equipment when you use the
machines. Protective clothing and equipment cannot eliminate the risk of accidents, but by
wearing the correct clothing and using the correct equipment you will probably be able to reduce
the seriousness of any injuries if an accident should occur. Ask your dealer about which approved
protective clothing and protective equipment is recommended.
