ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS/OPERATIONS
PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY. EXCESSIVE LEVELS OF CARBON MONOXIDE CAN CAUSE DEATH.
1)The Crack Saw is of a downcut type design as viewed by the operator. The diamond blade is intended to rotate toward the operator to enhance visibility and overall productivity while following a random crack. The down cut action results in a "self propelled" effect toward the operator that substantially enhances machine control and reduces fatigue as long as the diamond blade does not come in direct contact with a protruding obstruction from the floor. Direct contact with such an obstruction can result in rapid and jerky directional movement of the machine. In most operating situations, direct contact with a protruding obstruction from the floor will result in serious damage to the diamond blade. This occurrence may not allow the operator to remain in proper control of the machine.
DANGER
ALWAYS MAINTAIN PROPER CONTROL OF THE CRACK SAW. IF AN OPERATOR LOOSES CONTROL OF THE MACHINE, A "RUNAWAY" CRACK SAW CAN RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY. BECAUSE OF THE UNIQUE OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS OF THE CRACK SAW, THERE IS NO PROVISION FOR THE ELECTRIC MOTOR/ENGINE TO AUTOMATICALLY STOP IF THE OPERATOR FAILS TO MAINTAIN PROPER CONTROL.
DANGER
WHEN OPERATING THE CRACK SAW ON ABOVE GROUND FLOOR LEVELS, EXERCISE EXTREME CAUTION TO PREVENT LOSS OF CONTROL THAT COULD ALLOW THE MACHINE AND/OR OPERATOR TO FALL DOWN TO LOWER LEVELS. SUCH AN OCCURRENCE CAN RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY.
2)The crack sawing process is not intended to require additional weight to be applied to the machine for the purpose of increasing productivity and/or stability. No provision for attaching weight is made.
DANGER
DO NOT OPERATE THE CRACK SAW WITH ADDITIONAL WEIGHT APPLIED DIRECTLY TO THE MACHINE TO INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY RATES AND/OR MACHINE STABILITY. PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY CAN RESULT. PRODUCTIVITY AND/OR STABILITY RELATED PROBLEMS SHOULD BE DIRECTED TO SPECIFIC MECHANICAL
PROBLEMS WITH THE MACHINE,
OPERATIONAL PROCEDURES AND/OR
SPECIFIC MECHANICAL PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH THE DIAMOND BLADE. CONTACT THE CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR ASSISTANCE. THERE IS NO CHARGE FOR THIS SERVICE.
3)The Crack Saw is designed to be pulled toward the operator during normal operation to enhance visibility and overall productivity while the blade follows a random crack.
CAUTION
Operating the Crack Saw by pushing it forward will substantially reduce overall productivity and reduce operator control. The diamond blade will deposit dust and residue materials under the feet of the operator. This configuration will not allow the machine to be utilized with a vacuum system. This occurrence can also reduce operator stability on the work surface and lead to property damage and/or personal injury.
4)Position the Crack Saw over the random crack with the diamond blade directly above and parallel with the crack direction. Align the front casters of the machine parallel with the crack direction to maximize operator control at the start of the sawing process. FIGURE 23.
