Bibliography

Applicable to transportable masonry and stone cutting-off building construction for cutting-off stones, other mineral construction materials and composite materials haveing at least one supporting surface. Electrical or internal combustion prime motor provides the power for the tool rotation. Deals with significant hazards pertinent to masonry and stone cutting-off machines for job site (see Clause 4), when they are used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer and defines appropriate technical measures to eliminate or reduce risks arising from these hazards. Designed for use with rotating diamond cutting-off wheels with a continuous rim and/or segmented rim.
