DIAMOND BLADE SAFETY
■
Use appropriate steel centered diamond blades
manufactured for use on concrete cutters.
■
ALWAYS
inspect diamond blades before each use.
The blade should exhibit no cracks, dings, or flaws in
the steel centered core and/or rim. Center (arbor) hole
must be undamaged and true.
■
Examine blade flanges for damage, excessive wear
and cleanliness before mounting blade.
Blade should fit snugly on the shaft and
against the inside/outside blade flanges.
■
Ensure that the blade is marked with an
operating speed greater than the blade
shaft speed of the cutter.
■
Only cut the material that is specified by
the diamond blade. Read the
specifications of the diamond blade to
ensure the proper tool has been matched
to the material being cut.
■
ALWAYS keep blade guards in place.
Exposure of the diamond blade must not
exceed 180 degrees.
■
Ensure that the diamond blade does not
come into contact with ground or surface
during transportation.
DO NOT
drop the
diamond blade on ground or surface.
■
The engine governor is designed to
permit maximum engine speed in a
no-load condition. Speeds that exceed
this limit may cause the diamond blade to
exceed the maximum safe allowable
speed.
■
Ensure that the blade is mounted for
proper operating direction.
CUTTER TRANSPORTATION SAFETY
■
Use the lifting bail and appropriate lifting
equipment to ensure the safe movement
of the cutter.
■
DO NOT
use the handle bars and/or front
pointer as lifting points.
■
NEVER
tow the saw behind a vehicle.
■
Ensure that both pointer bars are
positioned appropriately to minimize their
exposure during transportation.
■
Safeguard against extreme cutter
attitudes relative to level. Engines tipped
to extreme angles may cause oil to
gravitate into the cylinder head making
the engine difficult to start.
■
NEVER
transport the cutter with the
blade mounted.
