2 Safety

2.1 Personal safety

▶ Use the right tool for the job. Do not use the tool for purposes for which it was not intended. Use it only
as directed and when in technically faultless condition.
▶ Never tamper with or modify the tool in any way.
▶ Only persons who are familiar with it, who have been trained on how to use it safely and who understand
the resulting hazards are permitted to use the tool. The tool is not intended for use by children.
▶ Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating the tool. Do not use the
tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating the tool can result in serious personal injury.
▶ The user and persons in the vicinity must wear suitable protective goggles, a hard hat, ear defenders,
protective gloves, protective footwear and light respiratory protection while the tool is in use. ▶ Always hold the tool firmly with both hands on the grips provided. Keep the grips dry, clean and free
from oil and grease.
▶ Never use the tool without the guard (hood). Adjust the guard to the correct position. The guard must be
securely attached and positioned for maximum safety, so that the smallest possible part of the cutting
disc is exposed to the operator. Make sure that sparks created during use do not present a hazard. The
guard helps to protect the operator from broken disc fragments, inadvertent contact with the cutting disc
and uncontrolled flying sparks.
▶ Do not touch rotating parts – risk of injury!
▶ Maintain a firm footing and balance at all times. This will allow you to control the tool better, even in
unexpected situations. Avoid unusual postures.
▶ Wear suitable work clothes. Do not wear jewelry or loose clothing. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be snagged by moving parts.
▶ Releasing the throttle safety grip when the tool is running at full speed causes the tool to tip forward
slightly due to the braking torque. Be prepared for this and grip the tool securely with both hands on the
grips provided.
▶ If the tool or the cutting disc has been dropped or has fallen, check the tool and the cutting disc for
damage. Change the cutting disc if necessary.
▶ Switch the tool off before adjusting the guard or changing the cutting disc.
▶ Wear protective gloves also when changing the cutting disc. Touching the cutting disc presents a risk of
injury (cuts or burns).
▶ Wear eye protection. Flying fragments present a risk of injury to the body and eyes.
▶ Use of the wet cutting method is preferable in order to reduce the amount of dust produced when cutting
mineral materials and asphalt.
▶ Avoid skin contact with the slurry created when using the wet cutting method.
▶ Dust from materials such as paint containing lead, some types of wood, minerals and metal can be
harmful to health. Contact with or inhalation of the dust can cause allergic reactions and/or respiratory or
other diseases to the operator or bystanders. To reduce the amount of dust produced when cutting, we
recommend use of the wet cutting method. Make sure that the workplace is well ventilated. It is advisable
to wear a filter class P2 dust mask. Comply with national regulations applicable to the materials you will
be working with.
▶ Cutting material containing asbestos is not permissible.
