1.1.2 Intended purpose
The Chain saw HCH5011 is designed and built for the following
application:
• Cutting of concrete (including reinforced), masonry and natural stone
• Cutting of severance cuts, flush cuts and cross-cuts in ceilings, floors
and walls
• Only original TYROLIT Hydrostress AG tools (chains) should be used
The information provided in Chapter 1 “Technical Data” 1.2, 1-4
represents the mandatory usage limits and rated data
1.1.2.1 Safety measures
Any use other than for the intended purpose (see Chapter 1.1.2, 1-2)
constitutes improper use or misuse.
Since improper use or misuse can sometimes results in considerable
danger, here details of what we believe constitutes improper use or
misuse.
The following applications are prohibited:
• Cutting without the safety devices provided
• Cutting wood, glass and plastics
• Cutting without system and tool cooling
• Cutting in explosion-protected areas
• Cutting loose parts
• Incorrect or absence of waste water disposal (saw sludge)
1.1.3 Workplace and danger areas
Allow enough room for manoeuvre to ensure danger-free working.
Make sure you have sufficient lighting at your workplace.
Clearly cordon off the danger area so that no person can enter the danger
area 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, or by the protruding cutting tool.
Secure lumps of concrete that have been loosened against falling.
Breathing in the water fog that is created is a health hazard. Ensure
adequate ventilation in sealed-off areas.
The sludge resulting from cutting is very greasy. Remove this or ensure
that you or other people do not slip on it.

2.5 Generally applicable warnings of residual
dangers
In the following warnings of residual dangers are shown that are generally
applicable to all work (with and on the saw systems and during all phases
of the life of the systems).
Danger
Electric shock due to defective electronic equipment.
The electrotechnical equipment must be checked prior to each use
and from time to time during prolonged usage. Defective parts
such as cables and plugs must be exchanged by electrotechnically
trained personnel in the powered down state.
Failure to comply with this regulation may lead to serious physical
injury or death. Secondary damage such as fires may also occur.
Warning
Danger from sharp tool edges.
Touching a tool whilst it is still in motion is prohibited.
When touching tools at a standstill it is recommended that
protective gloves are worn.
Failure to adhere to this regulation may result in cut wounds to the
hands.
Warning
Danger of allergic reactions if skin comes into contact with
hydraulic oil.
Persons who have an allergic reaction to hydraulic oil must wear
protective gloves and goggles when carrying out work where they
come into contact with hydraulic oil. Any areas of the skin affected
must be rinsed immediately with copious amounts of water.
Failure to adhere to this regulation may result in allergic reactions
