CAUTION

DO NOT attempt to operate the saw until the Safety, General Information and Inspection sections of this manual have been read and thoroughly understood. See motor manufacturer's operating manual.

NEVER operate the saw in a confined area or enclosed area structure that does not provide ample free flow of air.

ALWAYS wear approved eye and hearing protection before operating the saw.

NEVER place hands or feet inside the belt guard or blade guard while the engine is running. ALWAYS shut the engine down before performing any kind of maintenance service on the saw.

1.Ensure the diamond blade has been mounted correctly and that it is raised above the surface you are about to saw.

2.Use an extension cord (see Table 3) of adequate current carrying capacity. Insert the electric motor’s power plug into one end of the extension cord.

CAUTION

MAKE CERTAIN that the electric motor's power switch is in the OFF position before plugging the motor into the power source.

DANGER

NEVER use a worn or frayed extension cord. NEVER operate saw with V-belt cover removed.

DANGER.

NEVER touch the power cord with wet hands or while standing in water when it is connected to a power source. The possibly exists of electrical shock (electrocution) or even death. NEVER spray water directly on the electric motor.

3.Plug the other end of the extension cord into a 230VAC power source. Remember to read the nameplate to determine the motor's input voltage requirement.

WARNING

ALWAYS read the label on the electric motor before applying power. The label will indicate the correct power requirements for the motor. Remember, the use of an incorrect input voltage will severely damage the electric motor.

MAKE CERTAIN the motor is connected to a functional ground fault circuit interrupter.

Starting the electric motor

1.Before starting, MAKE CERTAIN there is enough clearance between the blade and the ground.

2.Set the electric motor’s ON/OFF switch (Figure 8) to the ON position.
