Operation, precautions
DANGER Explosion hazard
If a warm machine or exhaust pipe comes into
contact with explosives, an explosion could occur.
During operating with certain materials, sparks and
ignition can occur. Explosions will lead to severe
injuries or death.
► Never operate the machine in any explosive
environment.
► Never use the machine near flammable materials,
fumes or dust.
► Make sure that there are no undetected sources
of gas or explosives.
► Avoid contact with the warm exhaust pipe or the
bottom of the machine.
DANGER Fire hazard
If a fire starts in the machine, it can cause injury.
► If possible use an ABE-class powder extinguisher,
otherwise use a BE-type carbon dioxide fire
extinguisher.
WARNING Cutting blade hazard
A cutting blade may burst and cause personal injury
or death.
► Check that no persons are within the safety
distance, which is 15 m (49 ft). Never start cutting
until the working zone is clear.
► Never use a cutting blade with a lower speed
rating than the machine's.
► Inspect the disc before usage, check that it is not
chipped, cracked or show signs of other defects.
► Check that the cutting blade is fitted correctly and
does not show signs of damage.
► Always ensure that the guard is in place, is in good
condition and correctly fitted before starting the
machine.
► Ensure that the disc safety clamps are in place.

SCG 350, SCD 450Safety and operating instructions
► Never use a cutting blade for any other purpose
than it is intended for.
DANGER Fuel hazard
The fuel is flammable and fuel fumes can explode
when ignited, causing serious injury or death.
► Protect your skin from contact with the fuel. If fuel
has penetrated the skin, consult a qualified health
professional.
► Never remove the filler cap, or fill the fuel tank
when the machine is hot.
► Fill the fuel tank outdoors or in a clean and well
ventilated place, free from sparks and open
flames. Fill the fuel tank at least ten meters (30
feet) from the place where the machine is to be
used.
► Release the filler cap slowly to let pressure escape.
► Never overfill the fuel tank.
► Make sure the filler cap is screwed on when the
machine is used.
► Avoid spilling fuel on the machine, wipe off any
spilled fuel.
► Check regularly for fuel leaks. Never use the
machine if it is leaking fuel.
► Never use the machine in the proximity of material
that can generate sparks. Remove all hot or
spark-generating devices before starting the
machine.
► Never smoke when filling the fuel tank or when
working with the machine or servicing it.
► Only store fuel in a container that is specially
constructed and approved for the purpose.
► Consumed fuel and oil containers must be taken
care of and returned to the retailer.
► Never use your fingers to check for fluid leaks.
DANGER Explosion hazard
If a warm machine comes into contact with
explosives, an explosion could occur. During
operating with certain materials, sparks and ignition
can occur. Explosions will lead to severe injuries or
death.
► Never operate the machine in any explosive
environment.
► Never use the machine near flammable materials,
fumes or dust.
► Make sure that there are no undetected sources
of gas or explosives.
DANGER Exhaust gas hazard
The exhaust gas from the machine’s combustion
engine contains carbon monoxide which is
poisonous, and chemicals known to the State of
California and other authorities to cause cancer, birth
defects, or other reproductive harm. Inhalation of
exhaust fumes can cause serious injury, illness, or
death.
► Never inhale exhaust fumes.
► Ensure good ventilation (extraction of air by fan
if necessary).
WARNING Unexpected movements
The machine is exposed to heavy strains during
operation. If the machine breaks or gets stuck, there
may be sudden and unexpected movement that can
cause injuries.
► Always inspect the machine prior to use. Never
use the machine if you suspect that it is damaged.
► Make sure that the handle is clean and free of
grease and oil.
► Keep your feet away from the machine.
► Never sit on the machine.
► Never strike or abuse the machine.
► Pay attention and look at what you are doing.

WARNING Dust and fume hazard
Dusts and/or fumes generated or dispersed when
using the machine may cause serious and permanent
respiratory disease, illness, or other bodily injury (for
example, silicosis or other irreversible lung disease
that can be fatal, cancer, birth defects, and/or skin
inflammation).
Some dusts and fumes created by compaction work
contain substances known to the State of California
and other authorities to cause respiratory disease,
cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of such substances are:
> Crystalline silica, cement, and other masonry
products.
> Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
rubber.
> Lead from lead-based paints.
Dust and fumes in the air can be invisible to the
naked eye, so do not rely on eye sight to determine
if there is dust or fumes are the air.
To reduce the risk of exposure to dust and fumes,
do all of the following:
► Perform site-specific risk assessment. The risk
assessment must include dust and fumes created
by the use of the machine and the potential for
disturbing existing dust.
► Use proper engineering controls to minimize the
amount of dust and fumes in the air and to
minimize build-up on equipment, surfaces,
clothing, and body parts. Examples of controls
include: exhaust ventilation and dust collection
systems, water sprays, and wet drilling. Control
dusts and fumes at the source where possible.
Make sure that controls are properly installed,
maintained and correctly used.
► Wear, maintain and correctly use respiratory
protection as instructed by your employer and as
required by occupational health and safety
regulations. The respiratory protection must be
effective for the type of substance at issue (and if
applicable, approved by relevant governmental
authority).
► Work in a well ventilated area.
► If the machine has an exhaust, direct the exhaust
so as to reduce disturbance of dust in a dust filled
environment.
► Operate and maintain the machine as
recommended in the operating and safety
instructions
► Wear washable or disposable protective clothes
at the worksite, and shower and change into clean
clothes before leaving the worksite to reduce
exposure of dust and fumes to yourself, other
persons, cars, homes, and other areas.
► Avoid eating, drinking, and using tobacco
products in areas where there is dust or fumes.
► Wash your hands and face thoroughly as soon as
possible upon leaving the exposure area, and
always before eating, drinking, using tobacco
products, or making contact with other persons.
► Comply with all applicable laws and regulations,
including occupational health and safety
regulations.
► Participate in air monitoring, medical examination
programs, and health and safety training
programs provided by your employer or trade
organizations and in accordance with
occupational health and safety regulations and
recommendations. Consult with physicians
experienced in relevant occupational medicine.
► Work with your employer and trade organization
to reduce dust and fume exposure at the worksite
and to reduce the risks. Effective health and safety
programs, policies and procedures for protecting
workers and others against harmful exposure to
dust and fumes must be established and
implemented based on advice from health and
safety experts. Consult with experts.
WARNING Projectiles
Failure of the work piece, of accessories, or even of
the machine itself may generate high velocity
projectiles. During operating, splinters or other
particles from the compacted material may become
projectiles and cause personal injury by striking the
operator or other persons. To reduce these risk:
► Use approved personal protective equipment and
safety helmet, including impact resistant eye
protection with side protection.
► Make sure that no unauthorised persons trespass
into the working zone.
► Keep the workplace free from foreign objects.
WARNING Motion hazards
When using the machine to perform work-related
activities, you may experience discomfort in the
hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of the
body.
► Adopt a comfortable posture while maintaining
secure footing and avoiding awkward
off-balanced postures.
► Changing posture during extended tasks may
help avoid discomfort and fatigue.
► In case of persistent or recurring symptoms,
consult a qualified health professional.
