circumstances. Do not use adaptor plugs with earthed power tools. If you use unmodified
plugs and the corresponding sockets, you will reduce the risk of electric shocks.
• Avoid touching earthed surfaces, such as piping, radiators, chains or coolers. The risk of
electric shocks increases if the body is connected to earth.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or moist conditions. If water penetrates a power tool, this
increases the risk of electric shocks.
• Take proper care of the cable. Do not use the cable to move, drag or unplug the power tool.
Keep the cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts. Damaged or tangled
cables increase the risk of electric shocks.
• To use a power tool in the open air, use an extension cable indicated for exterior use. When
you use a cable suitable for exterior use, this decreases the risk of electric shocks.
• If using the power tool in a wet environment is unavoidable, use a power supply protected
by a residual current differential device (RCD). When you use a RCD, this decreases the
risk of electric shocks.
3. Staff safety
• The unit generates a laser beam, directed towards the material to cut. Keep out of the way
of the laser. Do not manipulate the laser under any circumstances. Do not look directly at
the laser beam. Do not look directly at the laser beam using auxiliary optical equipment. Use
appropriate eye protection.
• Keep alert, check what you are doing and use common sense when handling a power tool.
Do not use power tools if you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medicinal
products. One moment of distraction while handling power tools can cause serious personal
injury.
• Use personal protection equipment. Protection equipment, such as dust masks, non-slip
footwear, hard hats and hearing protection, can reduce personal injuries.
• Hearing protection devices. When working with different materials, the noise level may vary
and exceed, at times, the limit of 85 dB(A). Always use hearing protection devices.
• Wear safety goggles. Always wear safety goggles to avoid eye injuries caused by flying
particles when using the saw.
• Wear safety gloves. Always wear safety gloves, as the edges of the cut pipes are sharp and
can cause cuts.
• Ensure no devices can be started up accidentally. Ensure the switch is in the off position
before connecting the electric supply or lifting or moving the tool. Transporting power tools
with your finger on the switch or connecting power tools that are switched on to the electric
supply is much more likely to cause accidents.
• Remove all spanners before starting the power tool. Leaving spanners connected to rotating
parts of the tool could cause personal injuries.
• Avoid unstable positions. Maintain good, balanced posture at all times. Thus, you will have
better control over the power tool in unforeseen situations.
• Wear suitable clothing. Avoid loose clothing and jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from the moving parts. Long, loose hair, jewellery and loose clothing can
become trapped in the moving parts.
• If devices have been supplied for connecting the dust extraction and collection systems,
ensure they are connected and are being used correctly. Using the dust collection can
reduce risks related to dust.
You must not, under any circumstances, use the circular pipe saw in the following conditions:
• Do not use power tools in explosive atmospheres, for example if there are inflammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools generate sparks that could set the dust or vapours alight.
• There is water or another liquid, explosive gas or toxic chemical agents in the pipe you are
going to cut.
