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 have the accurate model dimensions.
• 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 and 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 lever. Engine 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.
