WARNING:
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.
5.4
DO NOT operate a diamond chain saw with damaged, modi-
fied, 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.
5.5
DO NOT operate a saw with loose, missing, damaged, or im-
properly repaired parts.
5.6
DO NOT install or run the chain backwards. The bumper must
lead the segment into the cut. (Applies to concrete chains only.)

SAFETY
WARNING
THE FOLLOWING SYMBOL APPLIES TO ALL THE ITEMS LISTED ON THIS PAGE
A potentially hazardous situation exists which, if not avoided,
could result in death or serious injury.
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 chainsaw with a damaged, modified, broken, or missing side
cover, bottom guard, or guard flap. The side cover, bottom guard, and guard flap provides
protection against contact with moving parts, ejected debris, broken diamond 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.
• DO NOT insert a diamond chainsaw into a slot narrower than the chain segments. Rapid
pushback might occur. Reference: Most diamond segments are .225 inches (5.72 mm)
wide.
• DO NOT use damaged, modified or improperly repaired chain.
• DO NOT run a diamond chainsaw upside-down. Concrete debris can fly back into the
operator’s face.
• NEVER cut ductile iron pipe with the saw (except when using PowerGrit
TM
Cutting
System). Segment loss or diamond chain breakage may occur.
• See page 16 for information about cutting ductile iron pipe with PowerGrit
TM
.
5.7
DO NOT insert a diamond chain saw into a slot narrower than the
chain segments. Rapid push back might occur. Reference: Most diamond
segments are .225 inches (5.72 mm) wide.
5.8
DO NOT use damaged, modified or improperly repaired chain.
5.9
DO NOT run a diamond chain saw upside-down. Concrete debris
can fly back into the operator’s face.
5.10
DO NOT cut ductile iron pipe with concrete chain. Segment loss or
diamond chain breakage may occur.
5.11
DO NOT cut concrete with ductile iron chain. Segment loss or
