Safety Precautions

Special safety precau -
tions must be taken when
working with the cut-off
machine, due to the very
high rotational speed of
the abrasive wheel.
It is important you read
and understand the
Instruction Manual before
first use and keep the
manual in a safe place for
future reference. Non-
observance of the safety
instructions may result in
serious or even fatal
injury.
General compliance
Comply with national safety regulations
issued, e.g. by employers' liability
insurance associations, social security
institutions, occupational safety and
health authorities or other organizations.
As for employers within the European
Community, the provision 2009/104/EC
is binding – Safety and health protection
with the use of machines and devices by
employees at work
The use of noise emitting power tools
may be restricted to certain times by
national or local regulations.
