SAFETY
THE FOLLOWING SYMBOL APPLIES TO ALL THE ITEMS LISTED ON THIS PAGE
A potentially hazardous situation exists which, if not avoided, could
result in death or serious injury.
Diamond chain breakage can result in high-speed ejection of parts, which can result in death or
serious personal injury to operators or bystanders. The items listed below are critical to
minimizing the risk of diamond chain breakage and injury.
• DO NOT operate a chain-based cut off saw with a damaged, modified, broken, or missing side
cover, bottom guard, or guard flap. The side cover, bottom guard, and guard flap provides
protection against contact with moving parts, ejected debris, broken diamond chain, thrown
water and concrete slurry.
• DO NOT install or run the diamond chain backwards. The bumper must lead the segment into
the cut.
• DO NOT insert a chain-based cut off saw into a slot narrower than the diamond chain
segments. Rapid pushback might occur. Reference: Most diamond segments are .225 inches
(5.72 mm) wide.
• DO NOT use damaged, modified or improperly repaired diamond chain.
• DO NOT run a chain-based cut off saw upside-down. Concrete debris can fly back into the
operator’s face.
• DO NOT cut ductile iron pipe with the chain-based cut off saw. Segment loss or diamond
chain breakage may occur.
