3.2 

Designated use, predictable misuse

•  The joint cutter CF•13.3 B resp. CF•13.3 B-L, in the follow-

ing referred to as machine, is exclusively to be used as 

walk-behind hand-guided floor cutting machine for cut-

ting by means of diamond saw blades in wet cutting op-

eration of firmly installed components made of asphalt, 

concrete and abrasive construction material as used e.g. 

in roadwork, hall floors and runways! Using the machine 

for purposes other than those mentioned above is con-

sidered contrary to its designated use; in particular the 

use of the machine with cutting tools other than those 

approved by the manufacturer/distributor is prohibited. 

The manufacturer/distributor cannot be held liable for 

any damage resulting from such use. The risk of such 

misuse lies entirely with the user.

•  The machine is not approved for other use than the one 

specified herein; this constitutes improper use.

•  Operating the machine within the limits of its designat-

ed use also involves observing the instructions set out in 

this operating manual and complying with the inspec-

tion and maintenance directives.

•  The machine has been designed in accordance with 

state-of-the-art standards and 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 or other material property.

•  The machine must only be used in technically perfect 

condition in accordance with its designated use, the 

instructions set out in the operating manual and the 

relevant national safety regulations, and only by safety-

conscious persons who are fully aware of the risks 

involved in operating the machine. Any functional disor-

ders, especially those affecting the safety of the machine, 

must therefore be rectified immediately.

3.3 

Organisational measures

•  This operating manual must always be at hand at the 

place of use of the machine and must be accessible to 

the personnel operating the machine.

•  In addition to this operating manual, all other gener-

ally applicable legal and other mandatory regulations 

relevant to accident prevention and environmental 

protection must be observed. Such obligations may also 

comprise the handling of hazardous materials, provision-

ing and/or wearing of personal protective equipment, or 

road traffic regulations.

•  This operating manual must be supplemented by 

instructions covering the duties involved in supervising 

and notifying special organizational features, such as job 

organization, work flows or the personnel entrusted with 

the work.

•  The operator must 

-  determine the other dangers resulting from the spe-

cific conditions at the place of use of the machine in 

a risk assessment (in the sense of the German Law on 

Occupational Safety and Health § 5). 

-  outline all further instructions and safety precautions 

resulting from the risk assessment of the work places 

at the system in operating instructions (in the sense of 

the German Work Equipment Usage Ordinance § 6).

•  Personnel entrusted with work on the machine must 

have read the operating manual, in particular the chap-

ter "Safety instructions" prior to taking up work. This ap-

plies especially to persons working only occasionally on 

the machine, e. g. during set-up or maintenance activi-

ties.

•  Check -at least from time to time- whether the personnel 

is carrying out the work in compliance with the operat-

ing manual and paying attention to risks and safety-

relevant factors.

•  For reasons of safety, long hair must be tied back or 

otherwise secured, garments must be close-fitting and 

no jewellery -including rings- may be worn! Severe injury 

may result from being caught by moving parts of the 

machine.

•  Personal protective equipment must be used wherever 

required by the circumstances or by law (e. g. safety 

glasses, ear protectors, safety boots, suitable safety 

clothing). Depending on the operating conditions of the 

wall saw, other personal protective equipment might be 

required. Observe the regulations for the prevention of 

accidents.

•  Observe all safety precautions and warnings attached to 

the machine and always keep them in good and per-

fectly legible condition.

•  In the event of safety-relevant modifications or changes 

in the behaviour of the machine, stop the machine im-

mediately and report the malfunction to the competent 

authority/person.

•  Do not remove or make inoperative any safety devices 

the machine is equipped with.

•  Never make any modifications, additions or conversions 

which might affect safety without the manufacturer's/

distributor's prior consent. This also applies to the instal-

lation and adjustment of safety devices as well as to 

welding work on supporting structures.

•  Damaged or worn parts of the machine must be re-

placed immediately! Only use original spare parts.

•  All spare parts and tools must comply with the technical 

requirements specified by the manufacturer/distributor. 

Only use original spare parts.

•  Adhere to the legally prescribed preventive maintenance 

and inspection intervals or those specified in this operat-

ing manual.
