WARNING

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and
other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of
these chemicals are:

·Lead from lead-base paints,

·Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry
products and

·Arsenic and Chromium from chemically treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposure varies, depending on how often you
do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
work in a well ventilated area and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to
filter out microscopic particles.

Safety Instructions

During the design and production of Dimas products,
great importance is placed on safety, as well as
effectiveness and ease of use. To ensure that the
machine remains safe you must pay attention to the
following points:

WARNING

This machine is only intended for use
together with a DIMAS PP 345, DIMAS
PP 2325 D, DIMAS PP 2525 D, DIMAS RC 345
and DIMAS Smartbox. All other use is
forbidden. The DIMAS Smartbox must be used
with the PP 2325 D and PP 2525 D to utilize
the power travel feature.

CAUTION

Under no circumstances may the machine be
started without observing the safety
instructions. Should the user fail to comply
with these, Electrolux Construction Products
or its representatives are free from all liability
both directly and indirectly.
Read through these operating instructions
and make sure that you understand the
contents before starting to use the wall saw.
Should you, after reading these safety
instructions, still feel uncertain about the
safety risks involved do not use the
wall saw. Please contact your dealer for more
information.

Check that all couplings, connections and hydraulic
hoses are in full working order.

Make sure that all hoses and electrical cables are
connected to the machine correctly before you start the
machine.

The safety distance is 15 feet or 4 meters in front of and
to the side of the saw.

Make sure that there are no persons or animals in the
working area.

Check that the blade guard is not damaged and that it
has been fitted correctly.

Never cut without using the blade guard. The
maximum size of saw blade when starting is 40”
(1000mm). As accessories there are also blade guards
for 32” (800mm), 49” (1240mm) and 63” (1600mm)
blades.

Never remove the blade guard without first shutting
off the hydraulic unit and ensuring that the blade has
finished rotating completely.

Never disconnect the hydraulic hoses without first
shutting off the hydraulic unit and ensuring the motors
have stopped completely.

Check the machine, couplings and hydraulic hoses daily
for leakage. A rupture or leak can cause a “hydraulic
fluid injection” in the body or result in other serious
physical injury.

Do not exceed the specified hydraulic fluid flow or
pressure for the tool being used. Too high pressure or
flow can resulting rupturing.

Do not misuse hoses.

Do not use hoses that are distorted, worn or damaged.

Check that the hoses are connected correctly to the
machine and that the hydraulic couplings lock as
intended before pressurizing the hydraulic system. The
couplings are locked by turning the outer sleeve on the
female coupling so that the slot moves away from the
ball.

Keep the hydraulic hoses and couplings free from dirt.

Always switch off the power to the hydraulic unit
before moving the equipment.

Always saw in a manner that permits easy access to the
emergency stop.

Never leave the wall saw with the power pack motor
running or unsupervised.

Clearly mark out all cuts to be made before you start
sawing, plan these so they can be carried out without
danger to persons or the wall saw.

Check with construction drawings whether there are
electrical cables, water pipes, gas pipes or drainage
pipes with the working area.

4

Always check and mark out where gas conduits 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.

Check that electrical cables within the working area are
not live.

Hoses that are marked and approved as electrically non
conductive must be used when using hydraulic tools on
or in the vicinity of electrical cables. The use of other
types of hoses can result in serious physical injury or
even death.

Observe care when lifting. You are handling heavy
parts, which implies the risk of pinch injuries or other
injuries.

Personal protective equipment according to the
Operator’s Manual must always be used and you should
use protective clothing too. Never wear loose fitting
clothes that can catch in moving parts.

People that need to be in close proximity of the
machinery must wear hearing protection as the sound
level when cutting exceeds 85 dB(A).

Only use blades recommended by Dimas.

Never saw without coolant. A poorly cooled blade can
cause segments to come loose from the blade. The
water coolant also binds concrete dust.

Never use a damaged or worn blade.

Do not use the machine if it is not working properly.

Regulations for the prevention of accidents and other
general safety and occupational health regulations,
must always be followed.

Store the equipment in a locked space away from
children and adults untrained in use of the equipment.

Firmly secure or anchor concrete blocks that have been
cut loose. The heavy weight of cut material can cause
extensive damage if it is not moved under controlled
conditions.

Always check the back of the wall where the blade
penetrates the wall and is exposed when cutting
through. Secure, cordon off and make sure that no
people can be injured or materials damaged.

Make sure that other people are nearby when you are
using the wall saw so that you can call for help should
an emergency arise.

WARNING

Always use approved protective clothing
and approved protective equipment when
using the machine. Protective clothing and
protective equipment cannot eliminate
accident risks, but by using the right
clothes and equipment you can reduce the
seriousness if an accident should occur.
Ask your dealer about approved and
recommended protective clothing and
protective equipment.
