SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
•
Always operate the saw in well-
ventilated areas. Concentrated
engine exhaust can cause loss of
consciousness and/or death.
•
DO NOT touch the engine/muffler
assembly with the engine running, and
always let them cool down prior to touching
or servicing the saw.
•
Handle hot oil carefully when changing the
oil.
•
Wipe down the engine/motor exterior and
guards daily or regularly to prevent high
operating temperatures. DO NOT spray the
engine/motor with water to prevent
engine/motor damage.
•
Let the engine cool prior to
removing pressurized caps
(applicable models).
•
All electric motor saws should be properly
grounded prior to operating.
•
DO NOT supply less or more power to the
electric motor saw than what the motor is
rated for.
Cutting Safety
•
The direct work area should not contain
buried or embedded electrical, gas, or
water lines that could be damaged and/or
cause personal injury while cutting.
•
Turn off all electricity, gas, and water
around the direct work area prior to cutting.
•
Inspect the work area to ensure nothing will
impede full control of the machine at all
times.
•
DO NOT expose yourself or anyone else to
the direct line of the blade when operating
the equipment.
•
DO NOT allow any person, animal, and/or
objects in and around the work area while
cutting.
•
DO NOT install a blade on the machine
until it is in the cutting area.
•
Ensure the work area is adequately
illuminated to ensure safe operation of the
machine.
Belt Safety
•
Turn off the engine/motor and let the belt
cool down prior to servicing it.
•
Regularly inspect the belt for fraying, stress
cracks, and/or breakage and replace
immediately when damaged. Always check
the belt alignment prior to operating the
equipment.
•
Use extreme caution when working with
belts and rotating machine parts to avoid
entanglement.
•
Over-tensioning the belt may reduce the
life of the blade shaft bearings. Under-
tensioning the belt may cause slippage,
shorter belt life, and/or poor equipment
performance.
•
Squealing belts indicate looseness.
Transporting Safety
•
Remove the blade prior to transporting the
equipment.
•
Chock the wheels and secure the saw in the
truck/trailer prior to transporting.
•
Refer to the Department of Transportation
(DOT)
for
additional
transportation
recommendations.
Lifting Safety
•
Move yourself and all others
away from the lifting area when
hoisting the saw to prevent being
crushed.
•
Secure the appropriate hoisting cables,
straps, and/or chains to the saw’s
designated lift points prior to hoisting.
•
DO NOT attempt to lift the saw
irresponsibly and/or improperly.
