- Impairments to the machine or other property.
In addition to the operating manual, the accident-prevention regulations in the country where the
appliance is used must be complied with.
Intended use
The joint cutter should only be used if it is in a technically faultless condition, for its proper purpose,

operating manual. Malfunctions that impair safety must be eliminated without delay.
The joint cutter type SM 62-2 is only intended for cutting:
- bituminous material (road surfaces); and
- concrete surfaces.
Any other use of the joint cutter is considered to be improper use for which the owner shall be
exclusively responsible. All liability is rejected if damage occurs due to non-compliance with this
provision. This risk is borne solely by the user.

Joint cutters must only be operated by suitable personnel of at least 18 years of age. Operators
must be instructed by the owner or by the owner’s personnel in how to guide the joint cutter.
