3. General safety precautions
Keep the working area tidy and always unroll
cables to their full length. Disorderliness of the working
area can be a cause of accidents.
The influences of the environment in which you
are working must be taken into account. 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.
Keep children away from the working area. Keep
other persons away from the working area when the
equipment is in operation. Tools, extension cables or
water hoses should not be tampered with by other per-
sons while the equipment is in operation.
Keep the electric wall saw in a safe place. The
components of the system and tools should be kept in
a dry, secure place out of reach of children when not in
use. We recommend the use of our functional transport
trolley.
Do not use the electric wall saw for purposes and
applications for which it was not designed.
Good care and maintenance of the electric wall
saw is essential in order to ensure safe and trouble-free
operation. Follow the maintenance instructions. Keep
the grips dry and free of oil and grease. Clean the elec-
tric wall saw daily after use. Wash your hands with soap
and water after contact with concrete slurry.
Do not leave tools in position on the equipment
(e.g. open-end wrench on nut). Check that all wrench-
es and setting-up tools have been removed before switch-
ing on.
Stay alert and carefully observe the progress of
your work. Proceed logically and do not use the electric
wall saw when your full concentration is not on the job.
You must be aware that working with the DS TS 5-
SE electric wall saw always involves a certain element
of risk due to parts becoming worn or damaged. Check
that the electric wall saw and its accessories are in good
condition and functioning correctly before use. Pay par-
ticular attention to the condition of wearing parts such
as the blade guard holder rubber, end stop, blade mount-

ing screws, blade mounting screws for flush cutting, etc.
Check that all parts have been assembled correctly and
consider all other factors that could influence operation
of the equipment.
Contact your Hilti representative or Hilti service centre
if faults or deficiencies are found.
The transport trolley or saw head must be secured
to prevent shifting of the load during transport (e.g. in a
motor vehicle).
Concrete blocks with a weight of several hundred
kg may be sawn out when the wall saw is in use. Mea-
sures for securing and transporting these concrete blocks
must be planned and implemented. Make use of the steel
wedges contained in the set of tools for securing con-
crete blocks.
Keep the working area clean and tidy and cordon off
openings and holes where there may be a risk of falling.
Failure to observe warnings, safety precautions
or the operating instructions may result in damage to
the electric wall saw or present a risk of serious injury
to the operator or other persons.
Use only the accessories or additional equipment
listed or recommended in the operating instructions.
The use of other insert tools (e.g. saw blades) or other
accessories may be hazardous and present a risk of
injury.
The saw blades used with the DS TS 5-SE elec-
tric wall saw must comply with the VBG 49 standard.
Failure to observe this point may result in a risk of per-
sonal injury. The DS TS 5-SE electric wall saw and its
DS-BE blades may be used for cutting concrete and stone
only. Use of any other kind of saw blade with the DS TS
5-SE is prohibited.
