2.4 Starting up

• Do not work alone; someone must be nearby in case of an emergency

(within calling distance).

• When using cut-off saws in residential areas, please observe the local noise

regulations.

• Do not use the cut-off saw near combustible materials or explosive gas-

es. There is a risk of sparking.

• Ensure that persons (for example those assisting you) within a range of 30 m

(100 feet) also wear protective gear (see "Personal Protective Gear") (3).

Children or other persons must keep a distance of at least 30 m (100 feet)

from the work area of the cut-off saw. Be aware of any animals in the vicinity

(4).

• Before you start to work with the cut-off saw, check to see that is in proper

working order and in a safe operating condition!

• In particular, inspect the condition of the cutting disc (replace immediately if

the disc is cracked, bent or otherwise damaged). Check that the disc is prop-

erly mounted, the protective hood is locked in place, the belt guard is firmly

attached, the V-belt is properly tightened, the throttle lever moves unhindered

and functions correctly, the handles are clean and dry and the multifunction

switch works.

• Do not start the cut-off saw until you have completely assembled and tested

it in operation. The cut-off saw must only be operated when it is completely

assembled!
