General Safety Precautions
CAUTION
§ ALWAYS read, understand, and follow procedures in the
Operator’s Manual before attempting to operate the equipment.
§ Be sure the operator is familiar with proper safety precautions
and operating techniques before using the saw.
§ Make sure the operating area is clear before starting the engine.
§ Maintain this equipment in a safe operating condition at all times.
§ Keep the saw clean. It will work better and last longer.
§ Use proper blades and follow the blade manufacturer’s
recommendations. Match blade rpm (Blade Shaft rpm) to
recommended blade surface feet per minute (SFPM).
§ Tighten the 5/8” blade-mounting bolt to 100-125 foot-lbs. torque.
§ Turn engine OFF prior to fueling the saw.
§ Start engine with the joystick in NEUTRAL to prevent unexpected
saw movement.
§ Do not leave saw unattended while engine is running.
§ Do not start engine on a sloping surface to prevent unexpected
loss of control.
§ Do not park or leave saw unattended on a slope - the saw can roll
when the engine is OFF. Block the unit when leaving.
§ If the saw must be parked on a slope, turn it across the angle of
the slope, to prevent accidental downhill movement.
§ Always store equipment properly when not being used. Equipment
should be stored in a clean, dry location out of the reach of
children. When storing the saw in freezing weather, blow out
water lines to prevent damage to components in the water
delivery system.
§ Prior to service, level the frame surface.
§ Do not over tighten the Blade Shaft drive belt.
§ Turn on water flow prior to starting the engine, to prevent
damage to the impeller of a belt-driven water pump.
§ Don’t pollute! Waste oils and other chemicals must be disposed
of in a manner consistent with local and state environmental
protection regulations.
