INCORRECT USE OF THE CRACK SAW CAN RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR EVEN DEATH. TO REDUCE THIS POSSIBILITY, GIVE COMPLETE AND UNDIVIDED ATTENTION TO THE JOB AT HAND AND FOLLOW THESE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
PREPARATION.
1)This Crack Saw is specialized type of powered equipment, designed for a specific job function and requires adequate and thorough instruction BEFORE it is operated. The size, power, complexity and operating characteristics of this type of powered equipment would dictate that each operator must receive adequate, professional instruction regarding the proper operation of this Crack Saw before being allowed to utilize it. BEFORE attempting to utilize this Crack Saw, read this Operator's Manual, the applicable Safety and Operational Information Video Tape and the material supplied by the engine manufacturer to familiarize each operator with its correct operating procedures. Avoid the urge not to
take the necessary time to read this Operator's Manual before operating the Crack Saw. DO NOT OPERATE THE CRACK SAW UNTIL EACH OPERATOR COMPLETELY COMPREHENDS THE CONTENTS OF THIS MANUAL AND THE APPLICABLE SAFETY AND OPERATIONAL INFORMATION VIDEO TAPE.
2)Develop a comprehensive program for the safe operation of the Crack Saw by its owner(s) and/or operator(s). Such a program will include, but is not limited to: instructional requirements for operation, applicable OSHA requirements, local laws and regulations, job site safety and a Crack Saw maintenance program. Constantly examine and upgrade this program to guarantee owner(s) and/or operator(s) safety. Each operator must be fully instructed regarding the specifics of this safety program.
3)Determine that the Crack Saw is in its original, factory configuration and has not been modified in any manner. Many modifications can result in potentially dangerous configurations that can lead to property damage and/or personal injury. If there are any questions about possible modifications made to the Crack Saw, contact the Customer Service Department for specific information BEFORE utilization. There is no charge for this service. Do not operate the Crack Saw without the use of the original equipment
4)Minors should never be allowed to operate the Crack Saw. Bystanders, especially children and animals, should not be allowed in the area where the Crack Saw is in use. The sawing process can result in flying particles being emitted at high velocity and striking the operator and/or onlookers. This can lead to the possibility of property damage and/or personal injury. Keep all body parts, loose clothing, foreign objects and onlookers clear of the rotating diamond blade, caster wheels, main wheels and flying particles.
5)Operators must be in adequate physical condition, mental health and not under the influence of any substance (drugs, alcohol, etc.) which might impair vision, dexterity or judgment. Working with the Crack Saw is strenuous. If you have any condition that might be aggravated by strenuous work, check with your doctor BEFORE operating the Crack Saw. Guard against the possibility of back related injuries. Always lift the Crack Saw with leg muscles and not with the back.
