Safety Instructions
Dur
ing the design and production of Husqvarna products,
great importance is placed on safety, as well as effective-
ness and ease of use. To ensure that the machine remains
safe you must pay attention to the following points:

contact your dealer for more information.
Check that all couplings, connections and hydraulic
hoses are in full working order.
Make sure that all hoses are connected to the machine
correctly before you start the machine.
Make sure that there are no persons or animals in the
working area.
Check that the guard is not broken and that it is fitted
correctly.
Never cut without using the guard.
Never disconnect the hydraulic hoses without first
shutting off the hydraulic unit and ensuring the motor
has stopped completely.
Check the machine, couplings and hydraulic hoses
daily for leakage. A rupture or leak can cause a
”hydraulic fluid injection” in the body or result in other
serious physical injury.
Do not exceed the specified hydraulic fluid flow or
pressure for the tool being used. Too high pressure can
result in rupturing.
Do not misuse hoses.
Do not use hoses that are distorted, worn, or
damaged.
Check that the hoses are connected correctly to the
machine and that the hydraulic couplings lock as
intended before pressurising the hydraulic system. The
couplings are locked by turning the outer sleeve on the
female coupling so that the slot moves away from the
ball.
Keep the hydraulic hoses and couplings free from dirt.
Always switch off the power to the hydraulic unit before
moving equipment.
Always saw in a manner that permits easy access to
the emergency stop.
Never leave the machine unsupervised with the motor
running.
Clearly mark out all cuts to be made before you start
sawing, plan these so they can be carried out without
danger to persons or the machine.
Check with building drawings whether electrical cables,
water pipes, gas pipes or sewage pipes have been
routed within the working area.
Always check and mark out where gas pipes are
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.
Check that electrical cables within the working area are
not live.
Hoses that are marked and approved as electrically
non conductive must be used when using hydraulic
tools on or in the vicinity of electrical cables. The use of
other types of hoses can result in serious physical
injury or even death.
Observe care when lifting. You are handling heavy
parts, which implies the risk of pinch injuries or other
injuries.
Personal protective equipment and protective clothing
as set out in the Operator's manual must always be
worn. Never wear loose fitting clothes that can catch in
moving parts.
Only use wire recommended by the manufacturer.
Never cut without using the cooling water. A poorly
cooled wire can result in the segments overheating,
which results in greater wear. In the worst case
scenario, segments can come loose from the wire and
injure persons close to the saw.
