Safety Instructions For Operation; Work Area Safety - Husqvarna K 4000 Manuel D'utilisation

WARNING: Diamond blades become very
hot when used. An overheated blade is a
result of improper use, and may cause
deformation of the blade, resulting in
damage and injuries.
WARNING: A cutting blade may burst and
cause injury to the operator.
WARNING: The cutting blade manufacturer
issues warnings and recommendations for
the use and proper care of the cutting blade.
Those warnings come with the cutting blade.
Read and follow all instructions from the
cutting blade manufacturer.
WARNING: A cutting blade should be
checked before it is assembled on the saw
and frequently during use. Look for cracks,
lost segments (diamond blades) or pieces
broken off. Do not use a damaged cutting
blade.
WARNING: Test the integrity of each new
cutting blade by running it at full throttle for
about 1 minute.
WARNING: Never use a cutting blade with a
lower speed rating than that of the power
cutter. Only use cutting blades intended for
handheld high speed power cutters.
WARNING: Do not use abrasive blades with
water. The strength is impaired when
abrasive blades are exposed to water or
moisture, which results in an increased risk
of the blade breaking.
WARNING: Use only blades which are in
compliance with national or regional
standards/regulations, for example EN
13236 or EN 12413 or ANSI B7.1.
WARNING: Cutting metal generates sparks
that may cause fire. Do not use the machine
near ignitable substances or gases.
WARNING: Cutting metal is not allowed with
the Vac attachment.
WARNING: Never use toothed blades such
as wood cutting blades, circular toothed
blades, carbide tipped blades, etc. The risk
6
of kickback is significantly increased and tips
can be torn off and thrown at high speed.
Carelessness can result in serious personal
injury or even death.
WARNING: Government regulation requires
a different type of guarding for carbide
tipped blades not available on power cutters
– a 360 degree guard. Power Cutters (this
saw) use Abrasive or Diamond blades and
have a different guarding system which does
not provide protection against the dangers
presented by wood cutting blades.
Note: Cutting with abrasive discs is not allowed with the
Vac attachment. Use of abrasive discs causes unnatural
wear on the Vac attachment.

Work area safety

WARNING: The safety distance for the
power cutter is 15 metres (50 foot). You are

onlookers are not within the working area.
Do not start cutting until the working area is
clear and you are standing firmly.
• Keep work area clean and well lit.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating
a power tool.

can affect your control of the product.
• Ensure that no persons or objects can come into
contact with the cutting equipment or be hit by parts
thrown by the blade.
• Do not use the product 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, such as slippery surfaces.
• Never start to work with the product before the
working area is clear and you have a firm foothold.
Look out for any obstacles with unexpected
movement.
• Ensure when cutting that no material can become
loose and fall, causing injury to the operator. Take
great care when working on sloping ground.
• Ensure that the working area is sufficiently
illuminated to create a safe working environment.
• Make sure that no pipes or electrical cables are
routed in the working area or in the material to be
cut.
