b) Keep the walk­behind system out of the
reach of children when not in use. Do not
allow people to use the tool unless they are
familiar with it, or if they have not read this
instruction manual.
Walk­behind systems are dangerous, if they are
used by inexperienced persons.
c) Always work carefully, attentively and sensi­
bly when using this tool. Do not use the unit
if you are tired or are under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while using the tool can
result in serious injuries.
2.2

Workplace safety

a) Keep your work area clean and well
illuminated.
Untidiness and unlit work areas can result in
accidents.
b) Watch out for open and concealed electric­
ity cables, and water and gas pipes. Use
suitable detectors to find concealed utility
pipes and cables, or contact the local utility
company for advice.
Contact with electricity cables can cause fires
and an electric shock. Damage to a gas pipe
can cause an explosion. Penetrating a water
pipe causes damage to property or could cause
an electric shock.
c) Avoid causing situations where other people
can stumble or trip.
Tripping over cables can cause serious injuries.
2.3

Electrical safety

a) The connecting plug of the power tool / the
equipment must fit in the plug socket. The
plug must not be modified in any way. Do not
use adapter plugs in conjunction with power
tools with protective earth conductor.
Unmodified plugs and properly fitting plug
sockets reduce the risk of electric shock.
b) Before each use, check the walk­behind
system, diamond channel cutter, connection
cable and plug for damage.
Damaged equipment is dangerous, and no
longer safe to use.
c) Note the mains voltage! The power source
voltage must match the details given on the
rating plate of the power tool / equipment.
d) Do not use the walk­behind system or the
diamond channel cutter if the cable is
damaged. Do not touch the damaged cable
and disconnect the mains plug if the cable is
damaged while you are working.
Damaged cables increase the risk of an electric
shock.
e) Only use extension cables suitable for
the equipment's power consumption and
which have a minimum core cross­section
2
of 1.5 mm . If you use a cable drum, always
completely unwind the cable.
The rolled up cable can heat up and start to
burn.
2.4

Safety of people

a) Wear personal protective equipment and
always wear goggles.
The wearing of personal protective equipment,
such as dust mask, non­slip safety shoes,
helmet or ear protectors, depending on the type
and application of the power tools, reduces the
risk of injuries.
b) Avoid abnormal postures when working.
Ensure you are standing firmly and maintain
your balance at all times.
This will enable you to control the tool better in
unexpected situations.
c) When working, hold the equipment firmly
with both hands on the correct handles and
ensure you are standing firmly.
The walk­behind system is only guided safely
with both hands.
d) Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, cloth­
ing and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothing, jewellery and long hair can get
caught in moving parts.
e) If dust extraction and collection devices can
be installed, ensure that these are connect­
ed and are used correctly.
Use of a dust extraction system can reduce the
hazards caused by dust.
