•
Only tools with the original hole pattern must be used.
•
If the hydraulic hand saw is operated in an enclosed area, the exhaust gases from
combustion motor of the power pack must be discharged into the open air.
2.4.8 Abuse
or misuse
Any use other than for the intended purpose (see Chapter 2.4.8, 2-5.5.2), constitutes
improper use or misuse. Since improper use or misuse can sometimes results in
considerable danger, details are given here of what we believe constitutes improper use
or misuse.
The following applications are prohibited:
•
Cutting wood, glass and plastics.
•
Cutting of loose material or loose-detached steel reinforcing (including in concrete)
•
Operation in explosion-protected areas
•
Cutting without system and tool cooling
•
Cutting without the safety devices provided
•
Incorrect or absence of waste water disposal (saw sludge)
2.4.9 Making the workplace safe
Before starting work enough space should be created to ensure working without danger.
The workplace must be adequately lit.
Danger areas must be visibly cordoned off so that no-one can enter the danger areas
during sawing.
The front, underneath and rear of the sawing area must be protected so that persons or
equipment cannot be harmed by falling parts or sawing sludge. Lumps of concrete that
have been loosened must be secured against falling.
Breathing in the water fog/mist that is created is a health hazard. Ensure adequate
ventilation in sealed-off areas.
The sludge resulting from cutting is very greasy. Suitable steps must be taken (removal
or cordoning off) so that persons do not slip and injure themselves.
2.5 Responsibility
2.5.1 Authorised
personnel

how requirements and they have been assigned a precise functional role.
