Safety Precautions

Important! The following safety precautions must always be observed.

Hazard Symbols

Fuel (gasoline) is extremely flammable and its vapors can
explode if ignited. Store gasoline only in approved containers,
in well-ventilated, unoccupied approved areas, and away from
sparks or flames. Do not fill the fuel tank while the engine is
hot or running. Do not start the engine near spilled fuel. Never
use the fuel as a cleaning agent.

Engine components can get extremely hot from operation. To prevent
burns, do not touch the engine or related parts while the engine is
running or immediately after it is turned off. Never operate the engine
with any heat shields or guards removed.

Keep all guards in place when operating any piece of equipment

Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away from all rotating parts

Lethal Exhaust Gas use only in well ventilated areas. Engine exhaust
gases contain poisonous carbon monoxide, which is order less,
colorless, and can cause death if inhaled. Avoid inhaling exhaust
fumes, and never run the engine in a closed building or confined area.

Never tamper with the governor components of settings to increase
the maximum speed. Severe personal injury and damage to the
engine or equipment can result if operated at speed above maximum.
Always obey the maximum speed rating of blade.

DO NOT LIFT THE SAW BY THE HANDLE BARS

Dust and Silica Warning

Grinding/cutting/drilling of masonry, concrete, metal and other materials can generate dust, mists and fumes containing chemicals known to cause serious or fatal injury or illness, such as respiratory disease, cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. If you are unfamiliar with the risks associated with the particular process and/or material being cut or the composition of the tool being used, review the material safety data sheet and/or consult your employer, the material manufacturer/supplier, governmental agencies such as OSHA and NIOSH and other sources on hazardous materials and make certain to comply with all product warnings and instructions for the safe and effective use of the material being cut. California and some other authorities, for instance, have published lists of substances known to cause cancer, reproductive toxicity, or other harmful effects.

Control dust, mist and fumes at the source where possible. In this regard use good work practices and follow the recommendations of the manufacturer/supplier,
OSHA/NIOSH, and occupational and trade associations. Water should be used for dust suppression when wet cutting is feasible. When the hazards from inhalation of dust, mists and fumes cannot be eliminated through engineering controls such as vacuum and/or water mist, the operator and any bystanders should always wear a respirator approved by NIOSH/MSHA for the material being cut.

1. Before mounting any blade on the saw, the blade should be inspected for any
damage which might have occurred during shipment, handling or previous use

2. The blade collars and arbors should be cleaned and examined for damage
before mounting the blade.

3. The blade must be properly fitted over the arbor with the drive pin on the
outside collar projecting through the drive pin hole on the blade and inside
collar.

4. The blade shaft nut, which is a left-hand thread nut, must be tightened securely against the outside blade shaft collar.

5. The blade must be operated within the specified maximum operating speed
listed on the blade.

6. The blade guard must be in place with the nose guard down and locked when
the saw is running.

7. The operator should wear safety glasses and any other appropriate safety
equipment.

8. When starting the saw, the operator should stand away and to the side of the
blade.

9. If for any reason the saw should stall in the cut, raise the blade out of the cut.
Check the outside blade shaft collar and nut for tightness. Inspect the blade
for damage before restarting the saw. Use caution when resuming a cut. Be
certain that the blade is in alignment with the previous cut.

10.During cutting operations, do not exert excess side pressure on the handles as
a method of steering. Do not force the blade into the cut by lowering the blade
too fast or by pushing the saw too fast.
