Each day,
before you begin operation, go through
the following checklist:
3.1 Make sure that the1000--FS moves freely on the
balancer.
3.2 Make sure that the dual anti--tie down control
handles (the front and rear handles) are working
correctly.
Depress
each trigger separately and
the tool should not start.
Depress
one trigger,
then pause one second and depress the other trig-
ger and the tool should not start.
Repeat
this
procedure reversing the triggers.
Depress
both
triggers simultaneously (within one half second
of each other) and the tool should start. With the
tool running, release one trigger and the tool
should stop.
Continue
holding the depressed
trigger and then depress the other trigger. The
tool should not start.
Repeat
this procedure
holding the other trigger.
If the tool malfunc-
tions, remove it from service and report the
problem to your supervisor immediately.
Always use two hands when starting and stop-
ping the tool. Continue holding the tool firmly
with two hands until the saw blade comes to a
complete stop.
4 Making the cut:
4.1 Position the 1000--FS.
4.2 Depress both triggers simultaneously to start the
tool and make the cut.
Always use two hands
when starting and stopping the tool.
4.2.1 Make the cut with a firm, steady motion. Do
not exert excessive pressure on the
1000--FS, but rather guide the saw through
the cut.
4.2.2 The carcass should be supported by a back
board to stabilize and prevent it from turn-
ing while making the cut.
Refer to Figure 2
as a guide.
4.3 When the desired length of cut is reached, re-
lease either or both triggers. This will stop the
blade from rotating.
Continue holding the tool
firmly with two hands until the saw blade
comes to a complete stop.
4.4 Withdraw the 1000--FS from the carcass.
4.5 Unplug the saw and disconnect all hydraulic
hoses.
