servative). Material containing asbestos must only be
treated by specialists.
Where the use of a dust extraction device is possible
it shall be used. To achieve a high level of dust collec-
tion, use a suitable vacuum cleaner of the type recom-
mended by Hilti for wood dust and/or mineral dust
together with this tool. Ensure that the workplace is
well ventilated. The use of a dust mask of filter class
P2 is recommended. Follow national requirements for
the materials you want to work with.
Safety measures at the danger areas
Safety measures must be implemented in the area whe-
re sawing is taking place to ensure that operators and
bystanders cannot be injured or property damaged by
debris that may fly off or fall down (broken-off diamond
segments, small stones, sawing slurry, etc.) while
sawing is in progress. Safety measures must also be
implemented in the area not directly visible to the ope-
rator, i.e. behind where sawing is taking place.
Persons must NEVER enter the danger area (3 meters
in all directions from the line of the cut to be made)
while the blade drive is switched on.

1. Approval must be obtained from the site engineer or
site management before beginning the sawing work.
2. Find out whether overcutting at corners is permitted.
If not, the corresponding corner holes must be planned
and drilled first.
3. Check that the area is cordoned off, that supports are
in place and warnings to third parties are displayed.
When setting up and operating the saw system and
when removing parts that have been cut away, always
ensure that no persons are below the area in which you
are working. Falling objects could cause serious injury.
