MP2 MASONRY SAW — RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION

Safety - Electric Powered Models

ALWAYS connect the motor to a power source in compliance with all local electrical codes. This must be performed by a licenced electrician.

ALWAYS use only outdoor approved GROUNDED extension cords.

MAKE CERTAIN the power cord/extension cord is free from damage and that the grounding circuit is operational.

MAKE CERTAIN the extension cord used is intended to be used in the environment you will be using it in. If an extension is used, NEVER submerge the connection in water. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, always make water-tight connections.

MAKE CERTAIN the "ON/OFF" switch is in the "OFF" position before plugging in the power cord/extension cord to avoid accidental starting.

ALWAYS stop the motor before servicing. MAKE CERTAIN the motor is stopped and turned "OFF" at the switch, and the power cord is disconnected from the power source.

Use only the guage wire and length of cord recommended for the motor size.

When cutting, ALWAYS be aware of the location of the cord.

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.

Block the unit when leaving or when using on a slope.

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

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

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 operating the saw.

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.

NEVER use accessories or attachments which are not recommended by the manufacturer for this equipment. Damage to the equipment and/or injury to user may result.

WARNING - Clear Area Of Obstructions

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

Blade Safety

Use appropriate blades manufactured for use on masonry saws.

Always inspect 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.

Examine blade flanges for damage, excessive wear and cleanliness before mounting blade. 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 blade shaft speed of the saw.

Only cut the material that is specified by the blade. Read the specifications of the blade to ensure the proper tool has been matched to the material being cut.

Always keep blade guards in place. Exposure of the blade must not exceed 180 degrees.

NEVER touch or try to stop a moving blade with your hands. ALWAYS keep hands clear of the blade.
