audience
This chapter describes the safety instructions that are essential to follow when using the
hydraulic hand saw. All persons who work on and with the hydraulic hand saw have a
duty to read and understand the chapters of the Safety Manual relevant to their particular
activities. This applies in particular to the “Safety instructions” chapter which is mandatory
for all persons and activities.
2.1.2 Design
Purpose
This saw was designed to be operated with:
•
Hydraulic power packs, with hose length 10metres
•
Hydraulic power output 40 l/min / 140bar
•
Max blade rpm not to exceed 2862 rpm. When using power packs fitted with flow
control valves, it is the operator’s responsibility to ensure the correct flow has
been selected and the max blade rpm are not exceeded!
This saw was designed to perform:
•
Straight cuts in concrete or fixed solid structures.
•
Cuts on flat surfaces, not curved (pipes)
This saw needs to be operated:
•
With both hands on both handles at all times
•
With consideration of kick back when saw blade is jammed, therefore head must
not be in line with saw blade/guard.
•
Never for overhead cutting or cutting above shoulder height.
•
Never kneeling or on ladders
•
Never forced.
•
Never without a blade guard.

A witness cut or precut must be made with a standard saw to a depth of 125mm.
Only then use the hydraulic hand saw with the 534mm saw blade.

Always ensure the saw blade has enough clearance from the diamond
segments. The minimum side clearance should be 0.5 – 0.8mm both side and a
segment width of no less than 3.2mm.
