RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION

General Safety

■ALWAYS read, understand, and follow procedures in Operator's Manual before attempting to operate equipment.

■ALWAYS be sure the operator is familiar with proper safety precautions and operating techniques before using the saw.

■NEVER leave the machine unattended while running.

■Apply the brakes when leaving or when using on a slope.

■Maintain this equipment in a safe operating condition at all times.

■ALWAYS stop the engine before servicing, adding fuel and oil.

■NEVER run the engine without the air filter. Severe engine damage could occur.

■ALWAYS service air cleaner frequently to prevent carburetor malfunction.

■AVOID wearing jewelry or loose fitting clothing that may snag on the controls or moving parts, this can cause a serious injury.

■ALWAYS keep clear of rotating or moving parts while the saw is in operation.

■ALWAYS store equipment properly when it is not being used. Equipment should be stored in a clean, dry location out of the reach of children.

■ALWAYS keep the work area well organized.

■ALWAYS Clear the cutting area of any debris, tools, etc.that would constitute a hazard while the saw is in operation.

WARNING

ALWAYS check to make sure that the operating area is clear before starting the engine.

■No one other than the operator is to be in the working area when the saw is in operation.

■Always observe all applicable compulsory regulations relevant to environmental protection, especially, fuel storage, the handling of hazardous substances, and the wearing of protective clothing and equipment. Instruct the user as necessary, or, as the user, request this information and training.

Diamond Blade Safety

■Use appropriate steel centered diamond blades manufactured for use on concrete saws. See further blade information on pages 21 through 23.

WARNING

ALWAYS inspect diamond blades before each use. The blade should exhibit no cracks, dings, or flaws in the steel centered core and/or rim. Center (arbor) hole must be undamaged and true. All damaged blades must be discarded.

■Examine blade flanges for damage and excessive wear.

■Ensure the cleanliness of the blade before blade is installed. Blade should fit snugly on the shaft and against the inside/ outside blade flanges.

■Ensure the blade is marked with an operating speed greater than the spindle speed of the saw.

WARNING

Only cut the material that is specified for the diamond blade. Read the specifications of the diamond blade to ensure the proper tool has been matched to the material being cut. The saw has been engineered for DRY CUTTING. Ensure a DRY CUTTING blade is being used.

■ALWAYS keep blade guards in place. Exposure of the diamond blade must not exceed 180 degrees.

■Ensure that the diamond blade does not come into contact with the ground or surface during transportation. DO NOT drop the diamond blade on ground or surface.

■The engine governor is set to regulate maximum engine speed in a no-load condition. Do not tamper with the engine governor to increase the speed. Increasing the engine speed could allow the maximum rated spindle speed to be exceeded, creating an unsafe condition.

■Ensure that the blade is mounted for proper operating direction. (See Figure 12)

■Adhere to the Blade Manufacturer's recommendations on handling, storage, and safe usage of blades.
