Preparing for Use

You must wear eye protection goggles qualifi ed
to the CE mark or the latest ANSI Standard Z
87. (Z 87 is stamped on the goggles). These
goggles also must be worn under a face screen
if one is used. A face screen should be worn
when there is a risk from fl ying debris.
Hearing protection should be worn. (See
"DANGER," page 16)
Wear a respirator or dust mask when cutting
concrete, stone, brick or other materials where
fi ne dust is produced while cutting. Use water
fl ush to keep down the dust.
Clothing should be made from fabric containing
natural fi bers that resist catching fi re and do not
melt. The clothing should cover as much skin
area as possible. Clothing should offer freedom
of movement, but should not be too loose or
baggy. Do not wear ties or jewelry.
Wear heavy duty boots with non-slip soles. The
boots should be high enough for shin protection,
or you should wear chaps for shin protection.
Wear non-slip, heavy duty work gloves to
improve your grip on the cutter handles. The
gloves also help to reduce the transmission of
machine vibrations to your hands.
Spectators children and fellow workers must be
warned to come no nearer than 9 m while the
cutter is in use. Shut off the cutter immediately if
some one moves closer to you than 9 m. Persons
working in the area near you should wear the
same protective equipment as the cutter operator if
endangered by risky fl ying debris.
