the equipment while lifting.
„ Some saws are very heavy and awkward to move around.
Use proper heavy lifting procedures.
„ Do noT attempt to lift the saw by the guards, handle
bars or front pointers.
NOTICE
„ The easiest way to lift the saw is to utilize the lifting bale. A
strap or chain can be attached to the lifting bale, allowing
a forklift or crane to lift the saw up onto and off of a slab
of concrete. The strap or chain should have a minimum
of 2,000 pounds (1,000 kg) lifting capacity and the lifting
gear must be capable of lifting at least this amount.
„ Before lifting, make sure that the lifting bale is not
damaged.
„ Use one point suspension hook and lift straight upwards.

it may cause oil to gravitate into the cylinder head, making
the engine start diffi cult.

properly secured to the lifting bale.
„ Do noT lift machine to unnecessary heights.
„ never lift the equipment while the engine is running.
„ alwaYS use ramps capable of supporting the weight of
