S1 Owner-operator
responsibilities
TwinSaw tools are designed and built on the basis of risk analyses and in compliance with
applicable (harmonised) CE/EU/DIN standards and other relevant technical specifications. The
equipment is manufactured to the highest technical standards and is designed with maximum
safety in mind.
However, workplace safety can only be maintained when all necessary safety measures are in
place. It is the responsibility of the owner-operator of the sawing equipment and accessories
to organize these measures and to ensure that they are being properly implemented.
The owner-operator must ensure that:
o
the saws and accessories are always in proper working order and safety equipment is
regularly checked
o
there is a sufficient supply of protection equipment available for saw operators, servicing
and repair staff and that this safety equipment is properly used
o
a full set of operating instructions is always available at the workplace and is maintained
in a legible condition
o
persons operating, servicing and repairing the saws and accessories are properly trained
and authorised to do so
o
saw operators and servicing staff are given regular instruction in all matters relating to
workplace safety and enironmental protection and are fully aware of the operating
instructions and safety requirements
o
safety and warning notices are never removed from the equipment and remain legible at
all times.

General safety measures
Keep the workplace clean
An untidy workbench or dirty workplace increases the risk of accident.
Pay attention to the workplace environment
Never expose electrical equipment to damp or wet conditions. Always ensure that the
workplace is properly lit. Do not operate power tools in the vicinity of flammable gases
or fluids.
Protection from electrical shock
When the equipment is switched on avoid skin contact with grounded objects
Always wear protective gloves and prescribed rubber-soled footwear.
Unauthorized persons
Do not allow unauthorized persons to approach the workplace (within range of the saw
cuttings) or stand close to the electrical connections.
Keep your tools safe
Keep the saws dry and do not place them on the floor. Always use the transport/storage
cases supplied with the equipment.
Avoid overload
Saws must only be used for the purpose for which they were intended and in
accordance with operating instructions.
