A.Safety Precautions
1.Before mounting any blade on the saw: the blade should be inspected for any damage which might have occurred during shipment, handling or previous use.
2.The blade collars and arbors should be cleaned and examined for damage before mounting the blade.
3.The blade must be properly fitted over the arbor with the drive pin on the outside collar projecting through the drive pin hole on the blade and inside collar.
4.The blade shaft bolt which is a left hand thread bolt on the operator’s right hand side and right hand thread on the operator’s left hand side must be tightened securely against the outside blade shaft collar.
5.The blade must be operated within the specified maximum operating speed listed on the blade.
6.Turn water control valve to full to provide adequate coolant (5 to 8 gallons per minute) for diamond blades and wet cutting abrasive blades. Insufficient coolant could result in severe blade breakage or diamond segment separation.
7.The blade guard must be in place with the nose guard down and locked when the saw is running.
8.The operator should wear safety glasses and any other appropriate safety equipment.
9.When starting the saw, the operator should stand away and to the side of the blade.
10.If for any reason the saw should stall in the cut, raise the blade out of the cut. Check the outside blade shaft collar and nut for tightness. Inspect the blade for damage before restarting the saw. Use caution when resuming a cut. Be certain that the blade is in alignment with the previous cut.
11.During cutting operations do not exert excess side pressure on the handles as a method of steering. Do not force the blade into the cut by lowering the blade too fast or by pushing the saw too fast.
