Operation
CUTTING WITH THE SAW
DO NOT insert the guidebar into a slot narrower than the width of the chain.
Rapid pushback, kickback and/or chain breakage could result.
Be sure cut concrete cannot fall and injure the operator or bystanders.
Assure cut piece is controlled and does not fall unexpectedly.
NOTE: Concrete is very heavy; one cubic foot = 30 cm x 30 cm x 30 cm = 68 kg (12
in x 12 in x 12 in = 150 lbs).
Slippery or unstable surfaces such as ladders may cause a loss of balance or
control of the saw.
Always keep proper footing and operate the saw only when standing on fixed,
secure and level surface.
Unexpected loss of control of the saw and loss of balance can result in injury.
Do not overreach and do not cut above shoulder height.
IMPORTANT
CAUTION
Do not allow workpiece to pinch the guidebar and chain, or rapid pushback
could result.
Always cut bottom of opening first and assure workpiece is secure and does not
shift during cutting operations.
Do not operate saw upside down.
Cutting debris can be directed back towards the operator.
Always operate saw at full throttle.
For best results, always operate the saw at full power.
Take special precautions when cutting in horizontal orientation.
Be aware that debris may be ejected differently than when cutting in a vertical
position.
