4.10.10 Always notch material that is under tension (material that is supported
or embedded in a wall) on the pressure face and then cut from the op-
posite side so that the cutting blade does not get pinched (22). Secure
the material that is to be cut so that it does not fall!
NOTICE!
In case of suspected tension, be prepared for the material to kick back
and make sure you can move away, should it occur.
Use extra caution in scrapyards, accident scenes or unsorted stacks
of material. Material that is under tension, slipping or cracking is unpre-
dictable. Secure the material that is to be cut so that it does not fall
(22)! Work very carefully and only with machines that are in perfect
condition.
Observe the accident prevention regulations set forth by the profes-
sional liability insurance association.

NOTICE!
Wear proper breathing protection!
Asbestos or materials that could discharge toxins may only be cut after
notifying the responsible authorities and under their supervision or that
of persons charged with this duty. When cutting concrete piles that are
under tension and contain metal, comply with the instructions and
norms from the respective authorities or part manufacturers. The pro-
cess for cutting through reinforcing bars must be carried out in the
proper order, taking the respective safety regulations into account.
