Dangers caused by repetitive movements
• When operating the tool, the user may
experience discomfort in hands, arms,
shoulders, the neck, and other parts of
the body.
• Work with a comfortable but secure
stance and avoid an awkward or un-
balanced working position. Varying your
position during longer tasks can minimize
discomfort and fatigue.
• Do not ignore symptoms such as
continuous or periodic discomfort, pain,
anxiety, ache, tingling, numbness, a
burning sensation, or stiffness. Stop
using the tool, inform your employer,
and contact a doctor.
Dangers of noise and vibration
• Loud noises can cause permanent hearing
defects and other problems such as
tinnitus. Use the hearing protectors
recommended by the employer or occupa-
tional health and safety regulations.
• Exposure to excess vibration can cause
crippling injuries to the nervous system,
as well as the blood circulation in hands
and arms. Dress warmly and keep your
hands warm and dry. If you experience
numbness, tingling, pain or paleness of
the skin, stop using the tool, inform your
employer, and contact a doctor.
• Hold the tool correctly without excess
effort; the risks caused by vibration gener-
ally increase if you grip the tool too tightly.
Avoidance of unnecessarily high noise and
vibration levels:
• Use and service the tool and select,
maintain, and change the equipment and
accessories according to these operating
instructions.
• Use sound attenuation materials to
minimize the noise generated by the
sawed pipe’s resonance.
Job site-related dangers
• Do not use the saw in areas or on terrain
where there is the danger of falling or slip-
ping. Make sure that your working position
is as steady as possible and that you have
a secure foothold.
• Always make sure that the ditch or shaft
in which you are working is properly rein-
forced and that its edges are not in danger
of collapsing. Make sure that the terrain is
not in danger of giving way or settling.
• If the cutting operation is in a ditch or
trench, access to the STOP button may be
limited. Always have a co-worker be ready
to turn off the air feed to the tool in the
event of an emergency. A separate air feed
with a shutoff device can also be used
for emergency situations.
• Make sure that there are no underground
electrical cables, gas sources, flammable
materials, or other potentially dangerous
objects that could cause a hazardous
situation.
• Slipping, stumbling, or falling can result in
a serious accident or death. Watch out for
hoses at the job site or working platform.
• Avoid the inhalation of dust and vapors, as
well as the handling of job site waste that
could cause health hazards such as, for
example, cancer, birth defects, asthma,
and/or dermatitis. Use dust extraction
equipment and a breathing mask when
the material to be cut releases airborne
particles.
• Some sawing generates dust containing
chemicals that, according to the state of
California, can cause cancer, birth defects,
and other reproductive harm.
Examples of these kinds of chemicals include:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and
other masonry products,
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated rubber.
Your risk from these exposures will vary
depending on how often you do this type
of work.

Separate collection. When your Exact 360
AIR machine is worn out, do not dispose of
it with normal household waste; the product
must be recycled separately. The separate
collection and recycling of used products
and packaging facilitates the recovery of
materials, reduces environmental pollution,
and decreases the demand for raw
materials. Local regulations allow the
delivery of households’ pipe saws to
municipal waste dumps or a dealer when
buying a new product.
To reduce your exposure to these chemicals,
work in a well ventilated area and use
approved protective equipment such as dust
masks specifically designed to filter out
microscopic particles. Working without
the appropriate protective equipment is
prohibited.
• Be extremely careful when working in
unfamiliar work surroundings; there may
be hidden dangers such as electrical
cables, as well as gas, water, or other
pipes.
• This tool is not intended for use in poten-
tially explosive atmospheres, nor is it
insulated to provide protection from
electric shock if it comes into contact
with an electrical power source.
