MQ PS4030 SAW — RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION

■Always store equipment properly when not being used. Equipment should be stored in a clean, dry location out of the reach of children. When storing the saw in freezing weather, blow out the water lines to prevent damage to components in the water delivery system.

Diamond Blade Safety

■Use appropriate steel-centered diamond blades manufactured for particular use on your saw. See further blade information in this manual.

■DON'T POLLUTE! Waste Oils and other chemicals must be disposed of in a manner consistent with local and state environmental protection regulations.

■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.

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.

■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.

■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 WET CUTTING. Ensure a WET CUTTING blade is being used and that the water supply system to the blade is properly functioning and 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 permit 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.

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