Work safety

Work area safety
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas
invite accidents.

animals well away from the the risk area.
People and animals can distract you causing you to lose
control of the machine. For this reason, always remain
concentrated and focused on the task.
Do not use the machine in bad weather, such as dense
fog, heavy rain, strong wind, intense cold, etc. Working in
bad weather is tiring and can lead to dangerous
conditions, e.g. slippery surfaces.
Never start to work with the machine before the working
area is clear and you have a firm foothold.
Personal safety
Never use the machine if you are fatigued, while under the
influence of alcohol or drugs, medication or anything that
could affect your vision, alertness, coordination or
judgement.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the
OFF-position.
Check that no tools or other objects have been left lying
on the machine.
Never allow anyone else to use the machine without
proper training.
Always shut off the machine during longer work breaks.
Never work alone, always ensure there is another person
close at hand.
Learn how to use the machine and its controls safely and
learn to how to stop quickly. Also learn to recognize the
safety decals.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all
times.
OPERATING
Use and care
Experience is very important when running the machine.
A skilled worker is highly recommended.
Always perform daily maintenance before starting the
engine. See instructions in the section "Maintenance".
The machine is intended for use in industrial applications
by experienced operators.
Only operate the saw from behind the machine with both
hands on the handle.
Use caution when loading, unloading and when
manoeuvring the machine on ramps.
Do not use the machine as vehicle for transporting
personnel or equipment.
Never stand on the machine.
Do not overload the machine. Overloading can damage
the machine.
Keep tools sharp and clean in order to enable safer work.
Keep all parts in good working order and ensure that all
fixtures are properly tightened.
Never leave the machine unsupervised with the motor
running.
Make sure the blade does not make contact with the
ground or any other surface when manoeuvring the saw.
Avoid getting in direct line with the blade or contacting the
blade while it is rotating.
Basic working techniques
Sawing contraction joint
As concrete hydrates or cures and begins to set, it develops
internal stresses which may cause random cracks.
Random cracks cast doubt on the quality and workmanship of
the concrete. Contraction joints are cut in concrete to relieve
these stresses before they seek their own relief in the form of
random crack.
The Soff-Cut Ultra Early Entry system controls random
cracking through the early timing of a saw cut at
predetermined locations to create weakened planes in the
concrete that subsequently crack at the bottom of the cut to
relieve stress.
Husqvarna sawed contraction joints should be a minimum of
1/8th the concrete depth and a minimum of 25 mm (1") deep.
Contraction joints should be sawn as soon as the concrete
will support the weight of the saw and the operator without
marking or damaging the concrete.
There are many possibilities for joint layout. Joint layout
should be provided, the saw contractor should submit a
detailed joint layout for approval prior to cutting.
Several factors affect joint spacing including:
Concrete thickness.
Type, amount and location of reinforcement.
Shrinkage potential of concrete-cement (type, quantity),
aggregate (size, quantity, quality), water to cement ratio,
admixtures, concrete temperature.
