Wearing a mask. Cutting on the construction site as well as cutting concrete, metal and other materials
that may generate dust, mists or fumes containing chemicals could cause serious injuries or illnesses
such as respiratory defects, cancer, reproductive failure and other reproductive harm. Cutting masonry,
concrete and other materials containing silica in their composition could cause crystalline silica. Silica is
a building block in sand, quartz, brick clay, granite, and many other minerals and rocks. It is
recommended to wear an approved mask.
m) Avoid cutting materials containing asbestos because asbestos or asbestos dust could cause serious
physical injury. Avoid cutting highly volatile materials or flammable substances.
n) Avoid leaving the machine unsupervised.
o) Use the tool only for its intended use. All other operations are prohibited.
p) Do not use the tool for an extended period. Limit the time of use and take some rest during the
operation.
q)
Prolonged use of this product exposes the operator to vibration and may produce what is called “white
finger” disease. To reduce the risk, wear gloves and keep your hands warm. If any of the symptoms of
"white finger syndrome" appear, seek medical attention immediately. Symptoms of "white finger" include
numbness, loss of sensitivity, tingling and pain, loss of strength, color changes, or skin problems. These
symptoms usually appear on the fingers, hands, or wrists. The risk increases at low temperatures.
r)
Warning - dangers may be encountered during the operation such as reactive movement (ie climbing,
pulling, pinching and especially spinning reactions); Always hold the machine firmly, inspect the work
area and always work on a stable and safe surface. Do not force the machine.
4. Inspection of the Concrete Cutter before use
a) Make sure there are no loose objects or near the device.
b) Except for the carburetor adjusting screws, all other fuel tank bolts, nuts, screws, and cap must be
properly tightened. Make sure that all the fuel system hoses are properly connected without leaking.
c) Make sure that the blades are turning correctly, and that the starter cord could be pulled out and put
back in place without getting caught.
d) Check the throttle trigger, full throttle lock button, choke lever and decompressor and circuit breaker to
be sure they are operating properly.
e) Check to make sure that the blade guard has no visual defects. Adjust the blade guard as needed so
that sparks and debris generated during cutting are not directed towards the operator.
f)
Make sure the V belt is tight.
g) Make sure the saw is not leaking gasoline.
h) Make sure the main cover and handles are dry and clean.
5. Start-up precautions
a) Maintain a good balance and secure the position of the feet. Do not start the machine if the saw is
damaged. It must be correctly assembled and adjusted.
b) Do not start the machine if the blade is damaged. It must be correctly assembled and adjusted.
c) To start, place the machine firmly against the ground and make sure that the blade is not in contact with
the ground or the object to be cut.
d) Pull the Starter vigorously and gently put it back in place. Avoid leaving the handle halfway.
6. Precautions concerning the operation
a) Maintain good balance and keep a firm foot position while holding the saw firmly.
b) Squeeze the throttle trigger to gradually accelerate the engine. Wait for the blade to reach maximum
speed before starting to work.
