routed. Cutting close to gas pipes always entails
danger. Make sure that sparks are not caused when
cutting in view of the risk of explosion. Remain
concentrated and focused on the task. Carelessness
can result in serious personal injury or death.
• Make sure that no pipes or electrical wires are routed
in the work piece or in the working area.
• Make sure that electrical cables within the working
area are not live.
• Never start to work with the machine before the
working area is clear and you have a firm foothold.

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.
