OPERATION

DETACHING THE UPPER AND LOWER LINKS

The upper and lower links of the rail clamp assembly can be detached from the motor mount (50) by unscrew- ing the handle (20).

SAW STORAGE

By disengaging the double cam (52), the rail clamp as- sembly can be rotated so that the entire saw has a flatter profile for storage.

Do not store the saw with the abrasive wheel attached.

CARE OF ABRASIVE CUT-OFF WHEELS

CAUTION

All abrasive cut-off wheels are breakable and, therefore, care must be exercised during handling and storage to prevent damage.

Wheels should be laid on a flat, rigid, surface away from excessive heat or moisture. Wheels should not be stored where they will be exposed to high humidity, water, other liquids or freezing temperature. If wheels are supplied with blotters attached, suitable separators should be used to preserve flatness.

If the saw is to be used during cold weather, preheat the hydraulic fluid at low engine speed. When using the normally recommended fluids, fluid temperature should be at or above 50 °F/10 °C (400 ssu/82 centistokes) be- fore use.

INVESTIGATION OF WHEEL BREAKAGE

If a wheel breaks during use, a careful investigation should be conducted by to determine the cause of the breakage. The cause must then be corrected before us- ing the saw again.

If unable to determine the cause of breakage, the wheel manufacturer should be consulted.
