SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Specific precautions
The manufacturer declines any liability resulting from
misuse or modification of the saw.
Although designed for safe and reliable service when
used according to instructions, there is a risk of harm to
the user or damage to the saw unless certain
precautions are taken. In particular, the following points
must be regularly verified at the worksite:

perfect technical conditions (saw used for suitable
jobs considering potential risks; elimination of any
malfunctions jeopardizing safety),

old or coated concrete, asphalt); use of any other
type of disk (eg abrasive, saw) is strictly forbidden

competent personnel (qualification, age, training,
skill), who understand the manual in detail before
starting work. Any electrical, mechanical or other
defect or failure is to be inspected by an authorized
service expert (eg electrician, maintenance manager,
official dealer)
•
observance of all warnings and directives marked on
the machine (eg use of personal protective
equipment); users must follow all instructions and
comply with all safety rules
•
no modification, transformation or addition that could
potentially effect safety may be performed without the
manufacturer’s express authorization
•
periodic inspections must be carried out as specified,
at the intervals specified
