1.1 Overview
The Drop Saw is designed to be used by
experienced operators, trained in the safe operation
of an excavator and trained in the hazards related
to using the drop saw and the safe use of the
drop saw for the intended purpose. Operators
will require personal protective equipment to
reduce the risk from some hazards that cannot be
completely eliminated or controlled by the design
of the tool.
Care is required to ensure that the drop saw will
not come across metallic objects, stones or other
materials.
Drop saw is not designed for use in hazardous
atmospheres where there is a risk of fire or
explosion due to flammable gases or vapors. Use
in hazardous, explosive atmospheres is prohibited.
Serious injury or death of the operator or bystanders
may be caused if the drop saw is misused. Misuse
may also cause damage to the machine carrying
the implement.
