5. Safety instructions
In addition to the information relevant to safety
given in each of the sections of these operating
instructions, the following points must be strictly
observed at all times.
5.1 General safety rules
a) Use the right tool or machine for the job. Do not
use the tool or machine for purposes for which
it was not intended. Use it only as directed and
when in faultless condition.
b) Avoid touching rotating parts. Switch the power
tool on only after bringing it into position at the
workpiece.
Touching rotating parts, especially
rotating drill bits, discs or blades, etc. may lead
to injury.
c) Use only the genuine Hilti accessories or an-
cillary equipment listed in the operating in-
structions.
Use of accessories or ancillary equip-
ment not listed in the operating instructions may
present a risk of personal injury.
d) Always hold the saw and the saw carriage se-
curely with both hands on the grips provided.
Keep the grips dry, clean and free from oil and
grease.
e) Cuts made in loadbearing walls of buildings or
other structures may influence the statics of the
structure, especially when steel reinforcing bars
or load-bearing components are cut through.
Con-
sult the structural engineer, architect, or person
in charge of the building project before begin-
ning the work.
f) Do not overload the machine. It will work more
efficiently and more safely within its intended
performance range.
g) Never use the power tool without the guard
(hood).
h) Take steps to ensure that flying sparks from
the power tool do not present a hazard, i.e. by
striking yourself or other persons. Adjust the
position of the disc guard accordingly.
i) Adjust the position of the disc guard on the
machine correctly. The guard must be securely
attached to the machine and positioned for max-
imum safety, so the least amount of cutting disc
is exposed towards the operator.
The guard
helps to protect the operator from broken disc
fragments and accidental contact with the disc.
j) Store machines in a secure place when not in
use. When not in use, machines must be stored
in a dry, high place or locked away out of reach
of children.
k) Switch the machine off before transporting it.
l) When laying the machine down, make sure that
it stands securely.
m) Switch the machine off after use.
n) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
o) Maintain the machine carefully. Check for mis-
alignment or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts and any other condition that may affect
the machine’s operation. If damaged, have the
machine repaired before use.
Poor maintenance
is the cause of many accidents.
p) Set the switch to the “stop” position before
changing the cutting disc or adjusting the guard.
q) Don’t leave the machine unattended while the
motor is running.
r) Always apply full throttle when cutting.
s) Hold the machine by insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where the cutting
