SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Tool operators and maintenance personnel must always comply with the safety precautions given in this manual and on the stickers and tags attached to the tool and hose.

These safety precautions are given for your safety. Re- view them carefully before operating the tool and before performing general maintenance or repairs.

Supervising personnel should develop additional pre- cautions relating to the specific work area and local safety regulations. If so, place the added precautions in the space provided in this manual.

The DS06 Diamond Saw will provide safe and depend- able service if operated in accordance with the instruc- tions given in this manual. Read and understand this manual and any stickers and tags attached to the tool and hoses before operation. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or equipment damage.

Establish a training program for all operators to en- sure safe operation.

The operator must be familiar with all prohibited work areas such as excessive slopes and danger- ous terrain conditions.

Do not operate the chain saw unless thoroughly trained or under the supervision of an instructor.

Always wear safety equipment such as goggles, ear, breathing, head protection, leg protection, gloves, snug fitting clothing and safety shoes at all times when operating the chain saw.

Do not overreach. Maintain proper footing and bal- ance at all times.

Do not inspect or clean the chain saw while the hy- draulic power source is connected. Accidental en- gagement of the chain saw can cause serious injury.

Always connect hoses to the chain saw hose cou- plers before energizing the hydraulic power source. Make sure all hose connections are tight.

Do not operate the chain saw at fluid temperatures above 140 °F/60 °C. Operation at higher tempera- tures can cause higher than normal temperatures at the chain saw which can result in operator dis- comfort.

Do not rely exclusively upon the safety devices built into the chain saw. As a chain saw user, several steps must be taken to keep your cutting jobs free from accident or injury:

a.With a basic understanding of kickbacks, you can reduce or eliminate the element of surprise. Sudden surprise contributes to accidents.

b.Keep a good firm grip on the chain saw with both hands, the right hand on the rear handle and the left hand on the front handle when oper- ating the chain saw. Use a firm grip with thumbs and fingers encircling the chain saw handles. A firm grip helps reduce kickbacks and maintains control of the chain saw. Do not let go.

c.Make sure the area in which you are cutting is free of obstructions.

d.Cut at rated operating speeds (gpm).

e.Do not overreach or cut above shoulder height.

f.Only use replacement bars and chains specified by Stanley or the equivalent.

Make sure the chain guard is in place before operat- ing the chain saw.

Remove or control the water slurry to prevent your- self or others from slipping while cutting.

Provide adequate ventilation in closed areas when operating a gas or diesel hydraulic power source.

Do not operate a hydraulic power source or a hy- draulic diamond saw in an explosive atmosphere.

Warning: Use of this tool on certain materials during demolition could generate dust potentially contain- ing a variety of hazardous substances such as as- bestos, silica or lead. Inhalation of dust containing these or other hazardous substances could result in serious injury, cancer or death. Protect yourself and those around you. Research and understand the materials you are cutting. Follow correct safety procedures and comply with all applicable national, state or provisional health and safety regulations relating to them, including, if appropriate arranging for the safe disposal of the materials by a qualified person.
