ENGLISH

•  After cleaning, check all cable connection for leaks, loose 

connections, chafe marks and damage. Have any defects 

found rectified immediately.

•  Always retighten any screwed connections that have 

been loosened during maintenance/repair activities.

•  Any safety devices removed for set-up, maintenance or 

repair purposes must be refitted and checked immedi-

ately upon completion of the set-up, maintenance or 

repair work.

•  Ensure that all process materials and replaced parts are 

disposed of safely and with minimum environmental 

impact.

3.6 

Information about special risks  

related to electric energy

•  Electric connections are only permitted in CE-approved 

mains networks with appropriate fusing and fault cur-

rent safety switch.

•  Observe the relevant VDE regulations or national stand-

ards.

•  Electrical connections must always be kept free from dirt 

and moisture.

•  Use only original fuses with the specified rating! Switch 

off the machine immediately if trouble occurs in the 

electric power supply.

•  Avoid physical contact with earthed parts e.g. pipelines 

(danger by electric shock).

•  When a live high-voltage line has been touched or cut:

-  Do not touch the machine, but do not leave it  

alone,

-  Drive the machine (saw blade) out of the hazardous 

location if that is possible without danger for the user,

-  Warn others not to come near or touch the  

machine,

-  Have someone switch off the electric power supply to 

the line,

-  Leave the machine only when you can be sure that the 

touched or cut power line has been switched off.

•  When operating the machine always keep a safe dis-

tance from electric lines. If work is to be carried out in 

the vicinity of electric lines, make sure that the working 

equipment is always kept well away from such lines. 

DANGER FOR YOUR LIFE!

•  Make yourself familiar with the prescribed safety distanc-

es.

•  Work on the electrical system or equipment may only 

be carried out by a qualified electrician or by properly 

instructed personnel working under the supervision of a 

qualified electrician and in accordance with the applica-

ble electrical engineering rules.

•  If provided for in the relevant regulations, the power 

supply to machine parts, on which inspection, mainte-

nance or repair work is to be carried out, must be cut 

off. First check that the disconnected parts are no longer 

live, the ground and bridge them and make sure that any 

live parts which are near them are insulated.

•  The electrical equipment of the machine must be 

inspected and checked at regular intervals. Any defects 

such as loose connections, scorched cables or defective 

plugs must be rectified immediately.

•  If it is necessary to carry out work on live parts, a second 

person must be present to cut off the power supply in 

case of emergency by actuating an emergency shut-off 

or main power switch. Secure the working area with 

a red-and-white safety chain and a warning sign. Use 

voltage-insulated tools only.

•  When work has to be carried out on high-voltage com-

ponents, switch off the power supply, disconnect the 

concerned parts from the power supply, connect the 

supply cable to earth and short-circuit the components - 

e. g. capacitors - with a grounding rod.

•  If mobile electrical equipment, connecting cables and/

or extension/appliance cords with plug connectors are 

used, ensure that such equipment, cables and cords 

are checked for correct function at least once every six 

months by a qualified electrician or -if suitable testing 

equipment is available- by a properly instructed person.

•  Protective installations with fault-current protec-

tion units used in non-stationary equipment must be 

checked for correct operation at least once a month by a 

properly instructed person.

•  Fault-current and fault-voltage protection units must be 

checked for correct operation by actuating the testing 

facility:
-  once on every working day in the case of mobile 

equipment,

-  at least once every six months in the case of stationary 

equipment.

3.7 

Gas, dust, steam, smoke

•  When working is the dry-cutting method, make sure 

there is enough suction to remove the dust (consult 

CEDIMA®

).

•  If harmful or explosive substances can emerge during 

the work, e.g. dust, slurry, the national health- and safety 

rules apply.

•  Do not perform any welding, flame-cutting and grinding 

work on the machine unless such work is expressly per-

mitted, as there may be a risk of fire or explosion (consult 

CEDIMA®

).
