3. Warnings and safety precautions for the DS-WSS 30 wire saw
3.11 Never connect or disconnect hydraulic hoses while the power unit is running or while the hoses are under pressure.
3.12 Wear suitable clothing. Don’t wear loose clothing or jewellery which could become caught in moving parts of the
machinery. Wear a hard had, protective goggles, protective gloves, safety shoes, ear protectors and a hairnet if
you have long hair. A face mask should be worn to protect the respiratory system when working in enclosed areas.
3.13 Avoid body positions in which the back is bent when carrying motor units or other heavy components. Maintain
a secure stance and always stay in balance, especially when using ladders or when working from scaffolding.
3.14 Check all screws on the DS-TS 32 (30) saw, tensioning arm, diamond wire guard and drive wheel guard which
could work loose due to vibration.
3.15 Disconnect the electric extension cable from the mains supply when the equipment is not in use, during trans-
port and before inspection or maintenance. Ensure that the hydraulic power unit is switched off before changing
the diamond wire or before adjusting the position of the guide pulleys. As an additional safety measure, it is rec-
ommended that the EMERGENCY STOP button is pressed and left in the OFF position.
3.16 Use of the Hilti diamond wire saw system is permitted only in conjunction with the other DS-WSS 30 components
listed in these instructions. The use of individual components for wire sawing, e.g. only the drive wheel, is pro-
hibited as this could present a serious hazard to the operating personnel.
3.17 For further information, please refer to the
D-LP 32 (30) / DS-TS 32 (30)
operating instructions.
