Safety precautions
SV00068GB 24
4.8.10 Guide the cut-off saw in such a way that no part of your body is within
the extended swing range of the blade (18).
4.8.11 Use cutting blades only for the materials for which they are designed!
4.8.12 Do not use the cut-off saw to lift up and shovel away pieces of material
and other objects.
Important injury hazard! Before cutting, remove all foreign objects,
such as rocks, gravel, nails etc. from the cutting area. Otherwise, such
objects can be flung away by the blade with great speed.
4.8.13 When cutting workpieces down to length use a firm support. If
necessary, secure the workpiece from slipping, but do not steady it
with your foot or allow another person to hold it.
4.8.14 When cutting round items, always secure them against rotation.
4.8.15 When guiding the cut-off saw by hand, use the outboard position of the
cutter arm only when actually necessary. Otherwise, always use the
inboard position. This gives the unit a better balance, for reduced
operator fatigue.
4.9 Cutting metals
ATTENTION!
Always wear approved respiratory protection!
Materials that can release toxic substances may be cut only after
notifying the proper authorities and under their supervision or
that of a person appointed by them.
