Exposure to excessive amount of such dust
can cause:
Respiratory disease (affecting your ability to

silicosis and pulmonary fibrosis from
exposure to silica.These diseases may be
fatal;
Skin irritation and rash.
Cancer according to NTP* and IARC* */

Agency for Research on Cancer
Take precautionary steps:
Avoid inhalation of and skin contact with
dust, mist and fumes.
Wear and ensure that all bystanders wear
appropriate respiratory protection such as
dust masks designed to filter out
microscopic particles. (See OSHA 29 CFR
Part 1910.1200)
Wet cut when feasible, to minimize dust.

MACHINE´S SAFETY EQUIPMENT
General
This section describes the machine′s safety equipment, its
purpose, and how checks and maintenance should be carried
out to ensure that it operates correctly.
Machine stop
The machine stop is used to quickly switch off the engine and

The engine will not start unless the lever is in the distinct
STOP position.
• Start the engine, turn the Engine start switch to ignition on
position. Follow the procedure in the engine manual.
• Press the machine stop and check that the engine stops.
This will set the machine in safe mode.
• Reset the machine stop by pulling the knob outward.
Blade Guard
This guard is fitted above the blade and is designed to prevent
parts of the blade or cutting fragments from being thrown
towards the user.
It will also protect the user from the blade and cool the blade
with water when wet cutting.
Checking the blade guard
• Check that the blade guard is not damaged or cracked.
Replace the blade guard if it is exposed to impact or is
cracked.
!
WARNING! Never use a machine that has

MACHINE´S SAFETY EQUIPMENT
Protection covers and guards
Protective covers on the machine protects the user from the
cooling fan, belt drives and hot surfaces.
Checking the protective covers
• Check the protective covers for cracks or other damages.
Replace damaged covers.
Muffler

and to direct exhaust fumes away from the user.
Inspecting the muffler
• Check regularly that the muffler is complete and secured
correctly.
!
WARNING! Always check that the protection
covers are correctly fitted before starting the
machine.
!
WARNING! Never use a machine without a
muffler, or with a faulty muffler. A damaged
muffler may substantially increase the noise
level and the fire hazard. Keep fire fighting
equipment handy.
The muffler gets very hot during and after
use. This also applies during idling. Be
aware of the fire hazard, especially when
working near flammable substances and/or
vapours.
