Work area safety
• Always check the back of the wall where the blade comes out when cutting through. Secure, cordon off and make sure that no people can be injured or
materials damaged.
• Always check and mark out where gas pipes are routed. Cutting close to gas pipes always entails danger. Make sure that sparks are not caused when
cutting in view of the risk of explosion. Remain concentrated and focused on the task. Carelessness can result in serious personal injury or death.
• Make sure that no pipes or electrical cables are routed in the working area or in the material to be cut.
• Make sure that electrical cables within the working area are not live.
• Make sure that no people or animals come closer than 4 m (15 ft) when the machine is running.
• Do not use the machine in bad weather, such as dense fog, rain, strong wind, intense cold, etc.
Working in bad weather is tiring and can lead to dangerous conditions, e.g. slippery surfaces.
• Ensure that the working area is sufficiently illuminated to create a safe working environment.
• Always ensure you have a safe and stable working position.
Electrical safety
WARNING! There is always a risk of shocks from electrically powered machines. Avoid unfavorable weather conditions and body contact with lightning conductors and metal objects. Always follow the instructions in the Operator’s manual to avoid damage.
• Never carry the machine by holding the cable and never pull the plug by pulling the cable.
• Keep all cables away of water, oil and sharp edges. Make sure the cable is not pinched in doors, fences or the like. Otherwise it can cause the object to become live.
• Check that the cables are intact and in good condition. Use cable intended for outdoor use.
• Never use the machine if any cable is damaged, but hand it in to an authorized service workshop for repair.
• The machine should be connected to an earthed outlet socket.
• Check that the mains voltage corresponds with that stated on the rating plate on the machine.
• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
Personal safety
• Never leave the machine unsupervised with the motor running.
• Never saw in such a way that you cannot easily reach the emergency stop on the remote control or on the power pack. See power pack manual.
• 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.
• People that need to be in close proximity of the machine must wear the required protective gear, including hearing protection, as the sound level when
cutting exceeds 85 dB(A).
• Observe care when lifting. You are handling heavy parts, which imply the risk of pinch injuries or other injuries.
• People and animals can distract you causing you to lose control of the machine. For this reason, always remain concentrated and focused on the task.
• Be careful as clothing, long hair, and jewelry can get caught in moving parts. |
