2.1 General
2.1.1 Target audience
This chapter describes the safety instructions that are essential to follow when using the
hydraulic hand saw. All persons who work on and with the hydraulic hand saw have a
duty to read and understand the chapters of the Safety Manual relevant to their particular
activities. This applies in particular to the “Safety instructions” chapter which is mandatory
for all persons and activities.
2.1.2 Design Purpose
This saw was designed to be operated with:
• Hydraulic power packs, with hose length 10metres
• Hydraulic power output 40 l/min / 140bar
• Max blade rpm not to exceed 2862 rpm. When using power packs fitted with flow
control valves, it is the operator’s responsibility to ensure the correct flow has
been selected and the max blade rpm are not exceeded!
This saw was designed to perform:
• Straight cuts in concrete or fixed solid structures.
• Cuts on flat surfaces, not curved (pipes)
This saw needs to be operated:
• With both hands on both handles at all times
• With consideration of kick back when saw blade is jammed, therefore head must
not be in line with saw blade/guard.
• Never for overhead cutting or cutting above shoulder height.
• Never kneeling or on ladders
• Never forced.
• Never without a blade guard.
2.1.3 Saw blade
• A witness cut or precut must be made with a standard saw to a depth of 125mm.
Only then use the hydraulic hand saw with the 534mm saw blade.
• Always ensure the saw blade has enough clearance from the diamond
segments. The minimum side clearance should be 0.5 – 0.8mm both side and a
segment width of no less than 3.2mm.
• Only use diamond saw blades designed for this machine from TYROLIT.
• Only use laser welded saw blades.

Before starting work enough s pac e sh ould be created to ensure working w it hout dang er.
The workplace must be adequately lit.
Danger areas must be visibly cordoned off so that no-one can enter the danger areas
during sawing.
The front, underneath and rear of the sawing area must be protected so that persons or
equipment cannot be harmed by falling parts or sawing sludge. Lumps of concrete that
have been loosened must be secured against falling.
Breathing in the water fog/mist that is created is a health hazard. Ensure adequate
ventilation in sealed-off areas.
The sludge resulting from cutting is very greasy. Suitable steps must be taken (removal
or cordoning off) so that persons do not slip and injure themselves.

Sawing Information:
This checklist is intended solely to provide a better overview of the sequence in which the stages
of the work should be carried out. It is merely information for general cutting. It is the operator’s
responsibility to be familiar with the proper action to saw concrete and solid structures in general.
4.3.1 Process checklist
1. Approval from the supervision of works
Before any work commences the approval of the supervision of works must be
obtained. The following points must be clarified:
• Are their static concerns about the building structure?
• Are electrical lines laid in the wall or ceiling (floor)?
• Are sanitation lines laid in the wall or ceiling (floor)?
• Have loose parts been left in the wall or ceiling (floor)?
• At what depth are any longitudinally running reinforcements?
2. Mark out cut
The cut to be made must be marked out. In doing so the size and/or the weight
of the structural blocks must be taken into account.
3. Determine cutting sequence
In principle, for a wall cutting for example, first the bottom, then the side and
only at the end the top, cuts must be performed.
4. Secure danger area
Before starting work the danger areas must be secured
5. Secure structural blocks
Before sawing work commences the structural blocks must be correctly
secured from the structural engineering point of view. It must be ensured that
the structural blocks neither overturn nor fall out or down and that they cannot
displace.
6. Carry out a pre-cut / guide cut
Before the cut itself a pre-cut / guide cut should be made. This will ensure that
the cutting tool (saw blade) does not drift.
7. Sawing, etc.
Now the cuts must be performed in the order envisaged. For each new cut
steps 4 to 9 must be repeated. If necessary, steel wedges are used to secure
the cut concrete.
8. Removal of the structural blocks
Removal of the structural blocks is dangerous and therefore particular care is
called for. It must in particular be ensured that no persons remain in the danger
areas and the securing and suspension or crane apparatus are adequately
designed for the load to be held or lifted.
9. Disposal of sawing sludge
If necessary the sawing sludge must be disposed of according to the normal
local environmental regulations. The sawing sludge contains all the materials
that have been sawn through.
