Breaking saws from S&W comply with the rele-
vant safety regulations

2.2 Behaviour at the place of work

1. Keep your place of work tidy. Untidiness can
lead to accidents.
2. Give consideration to environmental influences.
Ensure good lighting (min. 500 lux).
3. Protect yourself against electric shock. Plug sok-
kets must be protected by residual-current cir-
cuit breakers.
4. Keep other people away from your place of
work. Work in a concentrated and sensible man-
ner. Do not use the breaking saw when you are
unconcentrated and/or tired.
5. Store the breaking saw in a safe place. Store the
saw in a dry place when not in use.
6. Work clothing: Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery as these could become tangled up in
moving parts. Wear solid shoes when working.
Wear a hair net as a general rule!
7. Avoid abnormal body postures. Ensure a safe
working position and keep your balance at all
times.
8. Service your tools with care. Use only sharp and
undamaged saw blades so that you can work
better and safer.
9. Use only original EFA saw blades. Follow the
instructions given under "Changing the saw
blade" (see Chapter 4.1).
10.Do not leave wrenches on the machine. Check
that all wrenches have been removed before
starting the machine.
11.Use only original EFA accessories. Use of other
accessories will void the warranty.Use of other
tools or accessories may result in injury.
12.Keep the ventilation slots on both sides of the
motor free from soiling.
13.Never drill holes in the machine housing. Use
adhesive signs for marking the equipment.
14.Modifications and changes to the machine are
not permitted and will relieve S&W of any war-
ranty and liability.

3. Commissioning and operatio-
nal safety
Place of work
The working area for the operator should be at
least 15 square feet. No other place of work should
extend into this area, as the movements with the
breaking saw could result in the risk of injury.
The illumination at the place of work must be at
least 500 lux.

3.1 Initial operation

Switch off the breaking saw
before connecting to the mains
power supply!
Important information, e.g. technical
data sheets, drawings and parts lists
can be found in Annex A.1 "" (p. 20).

3.1.1 Spring balancer

The machine must always
be operated in combination
with a weight relief system
(spring balancer).
Install the spring balancer
with a trolley to a higher
element above the place of
work or to the ceiling.
Information on fine adjustment of the spring balan-
cer can be found in Chapter 4.5.
Suspend the breaking saw so that it is as top-heavy
as possible. The vertical position can be adjusted, if
necessary.
In view of the weight of approx.
10 kg, there is a danger of the
machine slipping or falling when
attaching or releasing the weight
relief system. Pay attention also
that the machine does not jam on
the trigger snap or on the hook of
the breaking saw.
Work cautiously!
