• 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.

• Keep all parts in good working order and ensure that all ﬁxtures are properly tightened.

• Do not modify safety equipment. Check regularly that they function as they should. The machine must not be run with defective or disassembled safety equipment.

• Never allow anyone else to use the machine without ﬁrst ensuring that they have understood the contents of the operator’s manual.

General working instructions

WARNING! This section describes basic safety directions for using a wall saw. This

information is never a substitute for professional skills and experience. If you get into a situation where you feel unsafe, stop and seek expert advice. Contact your dealer, service agent or an experienced user. Do not attempt any task that you feel unsure of!

• All operators shall be trained in the use of the machine. The owner is responsible for ensuring that the operators receive training.

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

• Never use blades other than original blades designed for the machine. Check with your Husqvarna dealer to see which blades are best suited for your usage.

• Never use a damaged or worn blade.

• Never mount or dismount the blade or blade guard without ﬁrst pulling out the power cable running to the saw unit.

• Never pull out the power cable without ﬁrst switching off the power unit and waiting for the engine to come to a complete halt.

• Never cut without using the blade guard.

• Check that the blade is not in contact with anything when the machine is started.

• Remain at a distance from the blade when the engine is running.

• Water cooling must always be used. This cools the blades and increases their life and prevents dust build-up.

• Check that all couplings, connections and cables are intact and free from dirt.

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

• 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 machine.

• Firmly secure or anchor concrete blocks before cutting. 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 comes out when cutting through. Secure, cordon off and make sure that no people can be injured or materials damaged.
