liFTing SaFeTY
CauTion
never allow any person or animal to stand underneath the equipment while lifting.
Some saws are very heavy and awkward to move around. Use proper heavy lifting procedures.
Do noT attempt to lift the saw by the guards, handle bars or front pointers.
NOTICE
The easiest way to lift the saw is to utilize the lifting bale. A strap or chain can be attached to the lifting bale, allowing a forklift or crane to lift the saw up onto and off of a slab of concrete. The strap or chain should have a minimum of 2,000 pounds (1,000 kg) lifting capacity and the lifting gear must be capable of lifting at least this amount.
Before lifting, make sure that the lifting bale is not damaged.
Use one point suspension hook and lift straight upwards.
never tip the engine to extreme angles during lifting as it may cause oil to gravitate into the cylinder head, making the engine start diffi cult.
Always make sure crane or lifting device has been properly secured to the lifting bale.
Do noT lift machine to unnecessary heights.
never lift the equipment while the engine is running.
alwaYS use ramps capable of supporting the weight of the saw and the operator to load and unload the saw.
