STOWTRAK 20 SAW — RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION

Ensure that the blade does not come into contact with the ground or surface during transportation. DO NOT drop the blade on ground or surface.

The engine governor is designed to permit maximum engine speed in a no-load condition. Speeds that exceed this limit may cause the blade to exceed the maximum safe allowable speed.

Ensure that the blade is mounted for proper operating direction.

Saw Maintenance (Cleaning)

ALWAYS clean the saw before maintenance or repair.

DO NOT use aggressive cleaners (i.e. containing solvents). DO NOT use high pressure water jets, aggressive detergents or solutions and liquids with a temperature exceeding 86 F. Use a fluff-free cloth only.

Use a cloth which may be lightly moistened only for removing dust and dirt. Hard packed dirt can be removed with a soft brush.

NEVER let water, cleaning liquid or vapor penetrate into the electric motor, connectors, plugs, and switches. When cleaning cover all apertures or openings on all electrical components.

ALWAYS use a soft, low-pressure water jet and a brush to rinse dirt and incrustations away. Be particularly careful not to spray water on sensitive parts of of the saw (e.g. electric motor, ON/OFF switch).Clean the motor and ON/OFF switch by wiping with a moist cloth.

DO NOT rinse the bearings of the drive elements (gasoline model only).

SawTransportation Safety

Use an appropriate lifting equipment to ensure the safe movement of the saw.

DO NOT use the handles as lifting points.

Safeguard against extreme saw attitudes relative to level. An engine tipped to extreme angles may cause oil to gravitate into the cylinder head making the engine start difficult. (Gasoline powered engines)

NEVER transport the saw with the blade mounted.

Emergencies

ALWAYS know the location of the nearest fire extinguisher.

ALWAYS know the location of the nearest and first aid kit.

In emergencies always know the location of the nearest phone or keep a phone on the job site. Also know the phone numbers of the nearest ambulance, doctor and fire department. This information will be invaluable in the case of an emergency.
