SV00068GB 23
4.7.9 When starting a cut, apply the cutting blade to the workpiece with care.
Do not just shove it into the material.
4.7.10 Never cut more than one piece at a time! When cutting, make sure that
no other workpiece is touched.
4.8 Working behavior/Method of working
4.8.1 Before starting work, check the work area for any hazards (electrical
wires, inflammable substances). Clearly mark the work area (for
example with warning signs or by cordoning off the area).
4.8.2 When working with the cut-off saw hold it firmly by the front and rear
handles. Never leave the cut-off saw unattended!
4.8.3 Whenever possible run the cut-off saw at the rated arbour speed (see
„Technical Data“).
4.8.4 Only use the cut-off saw during good light and visibility periods. Be
aware of slippery or wet areas, and of ice and snow (risk of slipping).
4.8.5 Never work on unstable surfaces. Make sure that there are no
obstacles in the working area, risk of stumbling. Always ensure that
you have a safe footing.
4.8.6 Never cut above your shoulder height (17).
4.8.7 Never stand on a ladder to cut (17).
4.8.8 Never use the cut-off saw while standing on scaffolding.
4.8.9 Do not lean over too far when working. When putting down and picking
up the cut-off saw, do not bend over from the waist, but instead bend
in the knees. Save your back!
