613GC OPERATOR’S MANUAL
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.
