Dangers caused by electrical drive units and
rotating pulleys are adequately described in
the respective wire sawing equipment
operating manuals. Other dangers must be
strictly avoided by protecting the operating
personnel and other persons not involved in
sawing work.

Wire cracks can be prevented by selecting
large contact angles. In spite of this wire
cracks can never be 100% excluded.
Therefore all the protective equipment must
always be installed.

A cracked wire can fling off a loose diamond
bead if it strikes against something.
The wire normally runs at between 15 and
25 m/s, which means that a loose diamond
bead could be flung off at up to 100 m/s.
Suitable protective equipment must be
installed to catch such diamond beads when
they are flung off.
