CC6566 - CC6566-3 Concrete Saw Manual
Battery and Electrical Safety
 Ignitable explosive gases are
emitted from the battery. DO
NOT expose the battery to
sparks or open flames.
 Keep the area around the battery well-
ventilated.
 Keep the battery level when handling it.
 Use protective eyewear or a face shield, and
avoid contact with the skin when
handling/servicing the battery.
 Use a proper battery tester when testing the
battery strength.
 Always be sure to connect the battery cables to
the proper terminal when reconnecting the
cables.
 Regularly inspect the battery, cables, clamps,
and terminals for damages. Clean, replace,
tighten and grease components as necessary.
 Always keep the battery cable clamps away
from the battery terminals when the battery is
disconnected to avoid accidental connections
while servicing.
 Immediately rinse your clothing, skin, or eyes
with water if exposed to battery acid. Seek
medical attention immediately!
 Disconnect the battery prior to servicing all saw
components (unless stated otherwise).
 Remove the battery when storing the saw for
longer periods.
 Always use the correct size fuses (amps) to
prevent fires.
Blade Safety
 Always use reinforced abrasive blades or steel-
centered diamond blades.
 Never use a wet cutting blade without an
adequate water supply to properly lubricate the
blade.
 Inspect all blades prior to usage and discard
damaged blades. Clean dirty blades as
necessary.
 DO NOT install or remove a blade with the
engine/motor running.
 Keep all body parts away from rotating blades.
 Inspect the blade flanges for damages, wear,
and cleanliness. Clean or replace
dirty/damaged components immediately.
 DO NOT expose yourself or anyone
else to the direct line of the blade
when operating the saw.
 Always use an appropriate size blade and the
correct blade type based on the cutting task
and the type of material being cut.
 The blade must always fit snug on the blade
shaft and/or outer flange.
 Wear gloves and be alert to the surrounding
environment when handling blades.
 When installing the blade, always point the
arrow printed on the blade in the direction of the
blade shaft’s rotation.
 DO NOT exceed the blade’s maximum
recommended speed when cutting. Excessive
blade speeds can cause blade breakage,
resulting in serious injuries and/or death!
 DO NOT use damaged blades when cutting to
avoid harming yourself, others, or the saw.
 DO NOT use a blade for cutting that requires a
lower speed than the blade shaft speed.
 Tighten the blade shaft screw/nut as directed to
properly secure the outer flange and blade.
Failure to properly secure the outer flange and
blade may cause parts to loosen or fall off the
saw.
 Let the blade cool prior to removal when dry
cutting (applicable models).
 Always install the correct blade shaft sheave,
blade drive belts, and flanges when changing
the blade size. Refer to the RPM Chart posted
on the saw or in the Parts List for additional
information.
Blade Guard Safety
 DO NOT operate the saw with the blade guard
raised or removed.
 Blade exposure should not exceed 180° while
cutting.
 When pivoting the front of the blade guard,
raise/lower it cautiously and slowly to avoid
serious injuries.
 Always pivot the front of the blade
guard 180° (fully upward) so the
guard does not swing down
unexpectedly, causing serious
injuries.
