SAFETY
Chain breakage can result in high-speed ejection of parts, which can result in death or
serious personal injury to operators or bystanders. The items listed below are critical to
minimizing the risk of chain breakage and injury.
•
DO NOT operate a diamond chain saw with damaged, modified, broken, or missing
side cover, bottom guard flap. The side cover, bottom guard, and guard flap provide
protection against contact with moving parts, ejected debris, broken chain, thrown
water and concrete slurry.
• DO NOT operate a saw with loose, missing, damaged, or improperly repaired parts.
• DO NOT install or run the chain backwards. The bumper must lead the segment into
the cut. (Applies to concrete chains only.)
