Safety instructions for transporting the
equipment
Avoid lifting and carrying heavy objects. Use suitable
lifting equipment and means of transport and share
heavy loads between several people.
Use the handles provided for transportation. Always
keep the handles clean and free of grease.
Bear in mind that the machine could fall over. Stand it
only on a solid, level surface.
Make sure that the saw system and its components
cannot move about or fall over during transportation.
The machine may be lifted by crane only at the lifting
points provided using tested and approved lifting gear.
Before lifting, check that all removable items of equip-
ment are securely attached to the two transport trol-
leys or locked in position. Never loiter under loads sus-
pended by crane.

Preparations at the workplace
6. Preparations at the workplace
Planning the cutting sequence, marking the
cutting line and fastening points
1. The parts to be cut out are usually marked by the client.
A rational cutting sequence can be followed when the
rail supports are cleverly positioned.
2. If necessary, adjust the size and weight of the con-
crete blocks to the prevailing conditions by making
dividing cuts (i.e. depending on the work order, the
means of handling the blocks, the crane or the maxi -
mum floor loading capacity and size of doors).
3. Use steel wedges and supports, as necessary, to secure
the sections of concrete while sawing.
Clarifying the situation and securing the
workplace
Have you made sure there are no hazardous pipes or
cables (gas, water, electricity etc.) in the cutting area?
Have the effects of the cutting work on the stability of
the structure been clarified and are the supports in place
capable of taking up the resulting loads?
Can the possibility of hazards or damage as a result of
the cooling water used be ruled out?
Have safety measures been implemented to ensure that
no persons can be injured or property and equipment
damaged by falling objects or debris that may fly off dur-
ing the sawing operation?
Can the parts of the structure that are to be sawn out be
removed safely in a controlled operation and subse-
quently disposed of?
Does the electric supply and water supply available for
use meet the specified requirements?
Is the required equipment in the correct specification
available for use?
Has the work to be carried out been approved in full by
the site engineer or architect?
