TR40 OPERATOR’S MANUAL
General Safety
•
Read and understand all safety, operations,
and maintenance instructions provided in
this manual prior to operating or servicing
the saw.
• Keep equipment components clean and free
of slurry, concrete dust, and debris.
• Inspect water hoses prior to operating the
equipment. Clean, repair, or replace
damaged components.
• Raise the equipment to a proper height for
access when working underneath the
equipment. Use chocks to block the wheels,
and fit blocks or jacks under the frame
edges.
•
When using a jack to raise the equipment,
place the jack against a solid, flat area under
the frame base to properly support the
equipment.
•
Repair the equipment immediately when a
problem arises.
•
Replace equipment decals if unreadable.
• Dispose of all hazardous waste materials
according to city, state, and federal
regulations.
• Always have a phone nearby, and locate the
nearest fire extinguisher and first aid kit prior
to operating the equipment.
• Operate the equipment wearing flame
resistant clothing.
• Always wear safety glasses when removing
retaining rings.
• Persons under the statutory age limit should
not operate the equipment.
• Keep all body parts away from rotating
machinery.
• Replace all guards and access panels
(unless stated otherwise) prior to operating
the equipment.
• Chock the wheels to help prevent
unnecessary movement.
• This diamond ring saw is only intended for
industrial use and may only be operated by
trained personnel.
• Proper use extends only to the sawing of
rock, concrete and masonry. The saw
must not be used for cutting pure metals.
•
For operation the relevant regulations must
be observed.
•
Power tools must regularly (approx. 6
months) be checked on safety by a
specialist according to DGUV V3.
• Never deposit the ring saw until the blade
has come to a complete stop. The rotating
blade can get into contact with the surface
whereby you may lose control of the ring
saw.
•
Do not operate the ring saw while you
carry it. Your clothes can be captured by
accidental contact with the saw blade.
• If a disc saw is used for cutting, care must
be taken that the thickness of the cutting
blade matches to the ring saw blade. Never
use a disc saw with a conventional cutting
disc for cutting. The narrow saw groove
produced in this case leads to a jamming
of the ring saw blade and can lead to
dangerous kickback.
•
Keep your working area clean and well
illuminated. Disorder or unilluminated
working areas can cause accidents.
•
Do not work in explosive ambiances with
the electric tool, in which there are
flammable liquid, gases or dusts. Electric
tools generate sparks which can inflame
the dust or vapors.
• Keep children and other persons away
from the electric tool while using it. When
being distracted, you can lose the control
on the device.
•
Be attentive, pay attention to what you do
and go to work with the electric tool with
reason. Do not use an electric tool when
you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or pharmaceuticals. One
moment of carelessness while using an
electric tool can cause serious injuries.
•
Wear personal protective equipment and
always goggles. The wearing of personal
protective equipment, like dust mask,
skid-proof shoes, protection helmet or
hearing protection, depending on the kind
and use of the electric tool reduces the
risk of injuries.
•
Avoid unintended start up. Make sure that
the electric tool is switched off before
connecting it to the mains and/or the
battery, picking it up or carrying it. When
you have your finger on the switch while
carrying the electric tool or connect the
device to the mains when it is switched
on, this can cause accidents.
•
Remove adjusting tools or wrenches
before switching on the electric tool. A tool
or wrench which is located on a turning
device can cause injuries.
•
Avoid abnormal posture. Care for safe
standing and keep the balance anytime.
Do not work on a ladder. Thus you can
control the electric tool better in
unexpected situations.
• Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear wide
clothing or jewelry. Keep hair, clothing
and gloves away from moving parts. Wide
clothing, jewelry or long hair can be
caught by moving parts.
