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 oor cutting machine for cut-
ting by means of diamond saw blades in wet cutting op-
eration of rmly installed components made of asphalt,
concrete and abrasive construction material as used e.g.
in roadwork, hall oors 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
specied 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 aecting the safety of the machine,
must therefore be rectied 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 trac 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 ows or the personnel entrusted with
the work.
• The operator must
- determine the other dangers resulting from the spe-
cic 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-tting 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 modications 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 modications, additions or conversions
which might aect 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 specied by the manufacturer/distributor.
Only use original spare parts.
• Adhere to the legally prescribed preventive maintenance
and inspection intervals or those specied in this operat-
ing manual.
