GENERAL SAFETY
SAFETY REQUIRES AN ATTENTIVE AND
KNOWLEDGEABLE OPERATOR.
Operators should be aware of their surroundings,
equipment gauges, and controls. Radios and music
headphones should not be turned on during maintenance
and operation. Read the Turbo Saw manual before
operating or maintaining your Turbo Saw.
BE PREPARED
• Be prepared if a fire starts.
• Keep a first aid kit and fire extinguisher handy.
• Keep emergency numbers for doctors, ambulance
service, hospital, and fire department near your
telephone.
ATTENTION OPERATORS
NO PASSENGERS. Passengers may impair or distract the
operator, resulting in unsafe operation. Passengers may
also fall out of off the skid steer and be put in extreme
danger. DO NOT OPERATE NEAR BYSTANDERS. Flying
debris, falling limb, trees, and heavy machinery can
cause serious injury or death. NEVER OPERATE HEAVY
EQUIPMENT WHEN IMPAIRED!
The Turbo Saw attachments are designed for a single
operator: no passengers. They impair and distract the
operator, resulting in unsafe operation. No riders or by-
standards: flying debris, falling limb, trees, and heavy
machinery could cause life threatening injuries. Keep
bystanders 500 feet away from machine. Never operate
when impaired!
HYDRAULIC PRESSURE
Hydraulic motors, lines, and machines can build up and
carry high volumes of pressure. Hydraulic pressure can
cause serious injury. Turn off skid steer before hydraulic
maintenance. Relieve pressure before unhooking hydraulic
lines. Tighten all connections before applying pressure.
Any fluid injected into the skin must be surgically removed
immediately by a medical profession familiar with this type
of injury.
Keep all guards in place and do no not operate a saw that
has been altered in any way.
WHEN NOT IN USE
Lower and place attachment upon the ground, disconnect
it from the skid steer. Always store the skid steer saw away
from trafficked areas.
