Before Starting:
•
Read and understand the instructions supplied by the engine manufacturer.
•
Familiarize yourself with all engine and saw controls. (
Figure
2)
•
Visually inspect the entire machine for damage or wear. Look for signs of oil or fuel leaks.
Remove excess dirt or debris. Check that all nuts, bolts and screws are tight. Check for
proper alignment of moving parts, possible binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
loose mounting brackets, and any other condition that might affect operation.
•
Inspect diamond blade and arbor shaft. Check blades for cracks, loose segments,
worn or out-of-round arbor holes. Do not use warped, twisted, out-of-balance blades
or any blade of questionable condition. Refer to
Rx for Diamond Blades
.
•
Install back splash shield (
Figure 6 and 7).
On Gasoline Models:
•
Gasoline models are shipped from the factory dry, meaning without oil or gasoline.
Both will need to be added before the unit is used. Check the
Engine Manufacturer’s
Owner’s
Manual
for instructions on break-in, servicing and proper use of engine.
•
Check engine oil. Make sure that it is at the proper level and that it is clean.
Note:
Some engines have an Oil Alert System that will automatically stop the engine before the oil level falls below
the safe limit. To avoid an unexpected shut down, check the oil level regularly during operation.
•
Check the fuel level. Do not over fi ll fuel tank and
never refuel a hot engine
. If refueling is necessary during
operation, allow engine to cool down fi rst.
On Electric Models:
•
Electric masonry saws are shipped with a grounded, male plug attached to the machine. Verify that any extension
cord that is used is sized appropriately for the electrical load and that it is properly grounded. Use only 3 wire
(single phase), grounded electrical cables that are marked U.L. and/or C.S.A. approved.
•
Inspect the power and extension cords for damage. Do not use if either cord is frayed or
showing signs of wear.
•
Identify the electrical power requirements of the saw. The voltage requirements of the motor can be found on the
motor data plate.
•
Verify that the power switch is in the off position before plugging machine into the power source.
