Safety Precautions (continued)

Before Operation (continued)

 Before cutting into a mate- rial, familiarize yourself with the risks associated with dust, fumes, or mists that may

be generated during opera- tion. Make sure you provide adequate protection against harmful emissions. A high- performance respirator and/or water attachment may be required.

WARNING!

 Do not use the cut-off saw to cut or disturb asbestos or products containing or wrapped in asbestos. If you believe you might be cutting asbestos, contact your supervisor.

Fueling the Unit

 Mixing fuel and engine fuel- ing must be done outside, and where no other combustibles are nearby.

Figure 1. Start the engine at least 3 meters from a fueling location.

 Open the fuel cap slowly to release any possible build-up of pressure.

 Never refuel when the unit is hot. Allow to cool before refueling.

 Never fuel when the engine is run- ning.

 After fueling, wipe all spilled fuel. Cutting metal may cause sparks from the cut-off wheel and may ig- nite spilled fuel which could result in serious injury.

Starting The Engine

 Start the engine at least 3 meters away from a fueling location.

 When starting the engine, make sure the cut-off wheel does not touch any object or ground.

As soon as the engine starts, the cut-off wheel may begin to rotate.

 Start the engine according to the instructions in this manual. Start the engine on a firm, stable surface. Make sure the area is clear of bystanders. Starting the engine must be done by only one person without any assis- tance.

 The cut-off wheel should not rotate at engine idle. If it does, reduce idle speed.

 Never leave the unit running unattended.
