– Be attentive towards possible danger sources and take the corresponding preventive measures.
Consider that use of hearing protection limits perception of sounds. Signal sounds, calls, etc. that announce danger may
also be missed.
– Observe tripping dangers and obstacles. Never work on unstable grounds.
– Always hold the power tool with both hands and always ensure a safe and firm stance.
– Never cut standing on a ladder.
– Guide the power tool so that no body part is located in the extended swivel range of the cut off wheel.
– Do not hold the work piece in your hand and bring it into contact with the wheel.
– Bring the rotating cut off wheel into contact to the work piece.
Never touch the floor or other objects with the cut off wheel running.
– Do not use the power tool to level off and shovel away objects.
• Switch off the engine when the power tool starts to behave noticeably differently.
• Danger of burns! Do not touch the muffler while it is still hot.
Danger of fire! Muffler radiates enormous heat.
Never put the hot power tool into dry grass or on flammable objects.
• Danger of hearing damage and burns!
Never work with defective muffler or without muffler.
3.10 Dust Emissions
Grinding/cutting/drilling of masonry, concrete, metal and other materials can generate dust, mists and fumes containing
chemicals known to cause serious or fatal injury or illness, such as respiratory disease, cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm.
California and some other authorities, for instance, have published lists of substances known to cause cancer, reproductive
toxicity, or other harmful effects.
• If you are unfamiliar with the risks associated with the particular process and/or material being cut or the composition
of the tool being used, review the material safety data sheet and/or consult your employer, the material manufacturer/
supplier, governmental agencies such as OSHA and NIOSH and other sources on hazardous materials and make
certain to comply with all product warnings and instructions for the safe and effective use of the material being cut.
• Control dust, mist and fumes at the source where possible. In this regard use good work practices and follow the
recommendations of the manufacturer/supplier, OSHA/NIOSH, and occupational and trade associations. Water should
be used for dust suppression when wet cutting is feasible.
• When the hazards from inhalation of dust, mists and fumes cannot be eliminated through engineering controls such
as vacuum and/or water mist, the operator and any bystanders should always wear a respirator approved by NIOSH/
MSHA for the material being cut.
Grinding/cutting/drilling of masonry, concrete and other materials with silica in their composition may give off dust or mists
containing crystalline silica. Silica is a basic component of sand, quartz, brick clay, granite and numerous other minerals
and rocks. Repeated and/or substantial inhalation of airborne crystalline silica can cause serious or fatal respiratory
diseases, including silicosis. In addition, California and some other authorities have listed respirable crystalline silica as
a substance known to cause cancer.
• When cutting such materials, always follow the respiratory precautions mentioned above.
