Basic safety instructions
for joint cutters
3.2.3 Selecting qualied sta
3.2.3.1 Work on and with the machine may only be carried
out by reliable personnel. The legal minimum age must
be observed!
3.2.3.2 Only use trained or instructed personnel! The
responsibilities of the personnel for the operation,
preparation, maintenance and repair of the machine
must be clearly dened!
3.2.3.3 It must be ensured that only authorised, skilled
personnel use or handle the machine!
3.2.3.4 Specify the responsibility of the machine operator
with regard to trac laws and regulations and enable
him/her to refuse to follow any instructions of others
which would aect safety!
3.2.3.5 Personnel to be trained or instructed, or who are
participating in general training may only use the
machine when supervised by an experienced person!
3.2.3.6 Work on electrical components and equipment
may only be carried out by an electrician or instructed
persons under the direction and supervision of an
electrician in accordance with the rules of electrical
engineering!
3.2.3.7 Hydraulic equipment may only be worked on by
personnel with a special knowledge of and experience in
hydraulics!
3.2.4 Safety information on
certain operation phases
I. Normal operation
3.2.4.1 Always familiarise yourself with the work site and
surroundings before starting work! The work-site and
surroundings include, for example, the obstacles in the
working and trac area, the load-bearing capacity of the
ground and the measures required for securing the work
site!
3.2.4.2 Assemble the machine on an even, stable and
hard ground! The stableness is to be ensured. Clear the
ground of all things that could impede the work!
3.2.4.3 Ensure a safe stand on even, rm, stable ground and
make sure to keep the balance any time.
3.2.4.4 Avoid any manner of working with the machine
which could present a safety risk!
3.2.4.5 Machines which are driven by a combustion engine
must only be lled with the fuel recommended by the
manufacturer. Pay attention to the danger of re and
explosion when lling the tank! Do not spill fuel onto hot
machine parts.
3.2.4.6 Keep to the conditions given by the manufacturer
concerning the connections for electricity and water.
3.2.4.7 Make sure that the machine is only used when in
a safe, operative condition! Only operate the machine
when all safety equipment and safety-related equipment
(e.g. guards, emergency-stop devices, noise insulation
etc.) are present and operative!
3.2.4.8 Each time before you start working and at least
once per shift, check the machine for obvious damage
and defects. Any changes (including changes in the
performance or behaviour of the machine) must
be reported to the competent authority/person
immediately.
If required, shut down the machine immediately and
secure it.
3.2.4.9 In the event of malfunctions or if the machine
behaves dierently, shut it down immediately and
prevent it from being restarted. Have faults rectied
immediately!
3.2.4.10 The following must be checked before starting
cutting operations:
– the diamond saw blade for compatibility to the direc-
tions given by the manufacturer regarding the drilling
method (wet or dry cutting) and the kind of work to
be performed
– the proper condition of the diamond saw blade (no
deformation, damages)
– the diameter of the saw blade recommended by the
manufacturer
– the cutting speed (RPM.) of the diamond saw blade
(max. RPM) of the machine recommended by the
manufacturer
– the accordance of the machine`s direction of cut to the
direction of cut of the diamond saw blade
– the compatibility of the diamond saw blade to the
arbour (ange)
– that the saw blade clamping tools (spanners) have
been removed,
– the rm seating of the diamond saw blade. Secure the
t of the diamond saw blade (mounting according
to recommendations of the manufacturer, with only
original screws!
3.2.4.11 The direction of rotation of machines with electri-
cal AC motors or hydraulic drive must be maintained to
prevent loosening of the saw blade!
3.2.4.12 Observe the procedures for switch-on and switch-
o, as well as the indicating devices described in the
operating manual!
3.2.4.13 Before switching on the machine or putting it into
gear, make sure that it cannot pose a danger to anyone
during start-up or operation.
