Safety Instructions
During the design and production of Husqvarna products, great importance is placed on safety, as well as effectiveness and ease of use. To ensure that the machine remains safe you must pay attention to the following points:
•Note that under no circumstances may the machine be started without following the safety instructions. Should the user fail to comply with these, Husqvarna Con- struction Products Sweden AB or its representatives are free from all liability both directly and indirectly.
Read through these operating instructions and make sure that you understand the contents before starting to use the machine. Should you, after reading these safety instructions, still feel uncertain about the safety risks involved you must not use the machine
Please contact your dealer for more information.
•Check that all couplings, connections and the blade guard are in full working order.
•Make sure that all hoses and electrical cables are connected to the machine correctly before you start the machine.
•The safety distance is 4 metres in front of and to the side of the saw.
•Make sure that there are no persons or animals in the working area.
•Check that the blade guard and blade flange guard are fitted correctly.
•Always saw in a manner that permits easy access to the emergency stop.
•Never leave the machine unsupervised with the engine running.
•Clearly mark out all cuts to be made on the floor before you start sawing, plan these so they can be carried out without danger to persons or the machine.
•Check with the construction drawings whether there are electrical cables, water mains, gas pipes or drainage pipes within the working area.
•Check that electrical cables within the working area are not live.
•Observe care when lifting. You are handling heavy parts, which implies the risk of crush injuries or other injuries.
•Personal protective equipment according to the Operator's Manual must always be used and you should use protective clothing too. Never wear loose fitting clothes that can catch in moving parts.
•People that need to be in close proximity of the machine must wear hearing protection.
•The machine must not be turned, swung or moved laterally with the blade rotating.
•Only use blades recommended by the manufacturer.
•Never saw without a blade guard.
•Never saw without coolant. A poorly cooled blade can cause segments to come loose from the blade. The water coolant also binds concrete dust.
•Never use a damaged or worn blade.
•Do not use the machine if it is not working properly.
•Regulations for the prevention of accidents, and other general safety and occupational health regulations, must always be followed.
•Store the machine in a locked space away from children and adults untrained in use of the machine.
•Firmly secure or anchor concrete blocks that have been cut loose. The heavy weight of cut material can cause extensive damage if it is not moved under controlled conditions.
•Make sure that there is always another person close at hand when you use the machines, so that you can call for help if an accident should occur.
WARNING!
Always use approved protective clothing and approved protective equipment when using the machine. Protective clothing and protective equipment cannot eliminate accident risks, but by using the right clothes and equipment you can reduce the seriousness if an accident should occur. Ask your dealer about approved and recommended protective clothing and protective equipment.
