Document Summary

This document outlines safe work procedures for using wet cutting saws, focusing on pre-start checks, blade maintenance, and operational safety. Only trained personnel may operate these saws, and all equipment must be used with an operating residual current device (RCD) or safety switch. Pre-start checks involve inspecting the saw casing, leads, plugs, and guards, ensuring the water flow is adequate and the blade is suitable for the task.

Operational guidelines emphasize connecting to an RCD, adjusting water flow to prevent motor damage, and wearing appropriate PPE, such as eye protection, gloves, and hearing protection. Special precautions include avoiding toxic dust exposure and never dry cutting with a diamond wheel. Cleaning and maintenance procedures involve using brushes for dust removal, safely dressing the diamond wheel, and avoiding compressed air. These practices ensure the safe and efficient use of wet cutting saws.
