Diamond abrasive cutting wheels are suitable for cut-
ting the following materials:
- Asphalt
- Concrete
- Stone (hard rock)
- Abrasive concrete
- Clay tile
- Clay pipes
- Ductile cast iron
Do not cut any other materials - risk of accident!
WARNING: Do not machine material containing as-
bestos! Do not use the machine on materials that
pose a health hazard (e.g. asbestos). Asbestos is
considered carcinogenic.
The machine is not suitable for cutting wood or wood-
en objects.
The machine may only be used in the intended man-
ner.
Any use beyond this is improper. The user/operator,
not the manufacturer, is responsible for damages or
injuries of any type resulting from this.
Only suitable cutting wheels may be used for the
product. Never use circular saw blades, carbide
blades, salvage blades, wood cutting blades or
other toothed tools - risk of fatal injuries! In contrast
to the uniform removal of particles when using abra-
sive cutting wheels, the teeth of a circular saw blade
can hook into the material during cutting. This results
in aggressive cutting behaviour and can lead to un-
controlled, extremely dangerous reactive forces (high
impact) of the device.
An element of the proper intended use is also the ob-
servance of the safety instructions, as well as the as-
sembly instructions and operating information in the
operating manual.
Persons who operate and maintain the product must
be familiar with the manual and must be informed
about potential dangers.
In addition, the applicable accident prevention regula-
tions must be strictly observed.
Other general occupational health and safety-related
rules and regulations must be observed.
The liability of the manufacturer and resulting dam-
ages are excluded in the event of modifications of the
machine.

ual, children under the age of 16 and people under
