2.8
Always operate the machine from the closed side of the blade guard when corner cuts are made with the blade
guard in the partly open position.
2.9
Never attempt to connect or disconnect hydraulic hoses while the hydraulic unit is running and while the hoses
are under pressure.
2.10 Handle the DS-RFP angular cutting plate carefully. There is a risk of pinching your fingers.
2.11 Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery which could become caught in moving parts of
the machinery. Wear a helmet, protective goggles, protective gloves, safety shoes, ear protectors and a hair net
if you have long hair. A face mask should be worn to protect the respiratory system when working in enclosed
areas.
2.12 Avoid body positions in which the back is bent when carrying motor units or other heavy components. Maintain
a secure stance and always stay in balance, especially when using ladders or when working from scaffolding.
2.13 Disconnect the electric extension cable from the mains supply when the equipment is not in use, during trans-
port and before inspection or maintenance of the hydraulic unit. Before changing blades or disassembling the
saw, always ensure that the hydraulic unit is switched off at the DS-CB 3 or DS-CB 4 remote control unit.
2.14 When auxiliary saw systems such as the Hilti DS-WSS 30 wire saw are used, the information contained in the
applicable supplementary operating instructions must be observed.
2.15 Recommended maximum ambient temperature ranges:
For storage: +5°C to +40°C
For operation of the system: -15°C to +50°C

General safety precautions
3.1
Modules and components of the Hilti diamond core drilling systems may also be used. Please refer to the applic-
able operating instructions for information on their use and operation.
3.2
Keep the working area tidy and always unroll the full length of hoses and cables. Untidiness and bad organisa-
tion of the working area can lead to accidents.
3.3
The influences of the environment in which you are working must be taken into account. Do not position the
equipment where the hydraulic unit is liable to become very wet. The hydraulic unit must be kept level during
operation, i.e. on a horizontal surface. Secure the hydraulic unit at locations where there may be a risk of it falling
(e.g. on scaffolding). The electric extension cable and its plugs and sockets must not be allowed to lie in water.
Ensure that the area is well lit. Do not use the equipment in the vicinity of inflammable liquids or gasses. Make
provision for water removal.
3.4
Keep children away from the working area. Keep other persons away from the working area when the equip-
ment is in operation. Tools, extension cables or hydraulic hoses should not be tampered with by other persons
while the equipment is in operation.
3.5
Motor units and other components and tools should be kept in a dry, secure place out of reach of children when
not in use.
3.6
Do not overload the system. Operate the equipment within its specified power range. The motor units or other
system components are covered by warranty only when used in the system combinations described in the oper-
ating instructions.
