disc may contact hidden wiring. Contact with a
“live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the
machine “live” and shock the operator.
t) Children must be instructed not to play with the
machine.
u) The machine is not intended for use by debilit-
ated persons or children.
v) Lifting the saw and saw carriage by crane is not
permissible.
w) Do not stand the saw and saw carriage on an
inclined surface. Always check to ensure that the
saw and saw carriage are standing securely.
5.2 Proper organization of the work area
a) Ensure that the workplace is well lit.
b) Ensure that the workplace is well ventilated.
Exposure to dust at a poorly ventilated workplace
may result in damage to the health.
c) Don’t work in closed rooms. Carbon monoxide,
unburned hydrocarbons and benzene in the exhaust gas may cause asphyxiation.
d) Keep the workplace tidy. Objects which could
cause injury should be removed from the working
area. Untidiness at the workplace can lead to
accidents.
e) Secure the workpiece. When necessary, use
clamps or a vice to secure the workpiece. Don’t
hold the workpiece by hand.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery
or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) It is recommended that non-slip shoes or boots
are worn when working outdoors.
h) Keep children away. Keep other persons away
from the working area.
i) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal-
ance at all times. This enables better control of
the power tool in unexpected situations.
j) Fit the filled water tank to the saw carriage only
after fitting the saw to the saw carriage. This
will prevent the saw carriage falling over.
k) Concealed electric cables or gas and water pipes
present a serious hazard if damaged while you
are working. Accordingly, check the area in
which you are working beforehand (e.g. using
a metal detector). External metal parts of the
machine may become live, for example, when an
electric cable is damaged accidentally.
l) Don’t work from a ladder.
m)Don’t work above shoulder height.
n) If the work involves breaking right through, also
apply the appropriate safety measures at the
opposite side. Parts breaking away could fall out
and / or fall down and injure other persons.
o) Secure the area below the working area.
p) When using the wet cutting technique, take care
to ensure that the waterdrains away incontrolled
fashion and check that the water or water spray
presents no hazard and causes no damage to the
surrounding area.
q) Secure the area below the working area.
5.3 Thermal
a) Wear protective gloves when changing cutting
tools as they get hot during use.
b) The exhaust system and motor get very hot. Al-
ways hold the machine securely with both hands
on the grips provided.
5.4 Liquids (gasoline and oil)
a) Store gasoline and oil in a well-ventilated room
in fuel containers in compliance with regulations.
b) Allow the machine to cool before refueling.
c) Use a suitable funnel when refueling.
d) Don’t usethe gasoline or other flammable liquids
for cleaning.
e) Don’t refuel the machine at the workplace.
f) When refueling, take care to avoid spillage of
gasoline.
