Diamond Products CC1600 - Manual (Page 4)

GENERAL SAW SAFETY
• Never leave the saw unattended while running.
• Do not exceed the rated pressure of hydraulic components. If you are unsure, contact
the manufacturer or Diamond Products.
• Ensure that the track is securely mounted to the wall, with the track stop bolts in
place, before starting the saw. (Track assemblies with stiffener only)
• Verify that the saw is operating properly before cutting. The track rollers must be
adjusted properly and rotating freely. The motor must be connected to the power unit
to rotate the blade in a clockwise direction (facing the saw from the blade). The blade
must be properly mounted in the flanges. The guard must be in place and set to
protect the operator. All saw functions should be checked before mounting the blade.
• Set the blade guard to give maximum protection for the operator. Inspect the blade
guard frequently for damage, cracks, and wear.
• Never operate the saw without sufficient water flow to cool the blade and flush out
cutting debris.
• Always disconnect the power unit before servicing the saw.
• Never try to connect or disconnect the power unit while the power unit is running
and/or the hoses are under pressure.
• Before cutting, be sure that there are no electric, water, or gas lines in the area you
are working. Do not saw if you are unsure of the presence of utility lines in the work
area.
• The cut out section can be very heavy. (For example, a 3’ x 7’ door cut from a 12”
thick wall will weigh over 3000 lb.) Be sure that the slab is properly secured before
making the final cut.
CUTTING/WORK AREA SAFETY
• Never operate the saw in any application or job where you are not properly trained or
supervised.
• Operate only in well-ventilated areas.
• Place barricades or tape to block off the work area on both sides of the wall. Keep
bystanders, animals, and unnecessary equipment out the work area.
• Do not operate the saw near combustible material or fumes. Sparks occur during
sawing that may cause a fire or explosion.
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE PRECEDING WARNINGS COULD
RESULT IN SERIOUS BODILY INJURY.
