2.2 Basic operation and designated use of the machine
The machine has been built in accordance with state-of-the-art standards and the recognized safety
rules. Nevertheless, its use may constitute a risk to life and limb of the user or of third parties, or cause
damage to the machine and to other material property.
The machine must only be used in technically perfect condition in accordance with its designated use
and the instructions set out in the operating manual, and only by safety-conscious persons who are fully
aware of the risks involved in operating the machine.Any functional disorders, especially those affecting
the safety of the machine, should therefore be rectified immediately.
Separation building implements are exclusively designed for sawing, slotting, drilling a.s.o. of abrasive
building material at building sites using tools in accordance with the manufacturer’s instruction.
They are exclusively designed for cutting firm built-in building material.
Using the machine for purposes other than those mentioned above (such as for) is considered contrary
to its designated use. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for any damage resulting from such use.
The risk of such misuse lies entirely with the user. Operating the machine within the limits of its desig-
nated use also involves observing the instructions set out in the operating manual and complying with
the inspection and maintenance directives.
2.3 Organizational measures
The operating instructions must always be at hand at the place of use of the machine, e.g. by stowing
them in the tool compartment or tool-box provided for such purpose.
In addition to the operating instructions, observe and instruct the user in all other generally applicable
legal and other mandatory regulations relevant to accident prevention and environmental protection.
These compulsory regulations may also deal with the handling of hazardous substances, issuing and/or
wearing of personal protective equipment, or traffic regulations.
The operating instructions must be supplemented by instructions covering the duties involved in super-
vising and notifying special organizational features, such as job organization, working sequences or the
personnel entrusted with the work.
Personnelentrusted withwork onthe machine must haveread the operatinginstructions and in particular
the chapter on safety before beginning work. Reading the instructions after work has begun is too late.
This applies especially to persons working only occasionally on the machine, e.g. during setting up or
maintenance.
Check - at least from time to time - whether the personnel is carrying out the work in compliance with the
operating instructions and paying attention to risks and safety factors.
For reasons of security, long hair must be tied back or otherwise secured, garments must be close-fitting
and no jewellery - such as rings - may be worn. Injury may result from being caught up in the machinery
or from rings catching on moving parts.
Use protective equipment wherever required by the circumstances or by law.
Observe all safety instructions and warnings attached to the machine.
Seeto it that safetyinstructionsand warnings attachedtothe machine are alwayscomplete and perfectly
legible.
Inthe event of safety-relevantmodifications or changesin the behaviour ofthe machine duringoperation,
stop the machine immediately and report the malfunction to the competent authority/person.
Never make any modifications, additions or conversions which might affect safety without the supplier’s
approval. This also applies to the installation and adjustment of safety devices and valves as well as to
welding work on load-bearing elements.
Spareparts must comply withthe technical requirementsspecified by the manufacturer. Spare partsfrom
original equipment manufacturers can be relied to do so.
Replace hydraulic hoses within stipulated and appropriate intervals even if no safety-relevant defects
have been detected.
Adhere to prescribed intervals or those specified in the operating instructions for routine checks and
inspections!
