SAFETY

WARNING

THE FOLLOWING SYMBOL APPLIES TO ALL THE ITEMS LISTED ON THIS PAGE

A potentially hazardous situation exists which, if not avoided,
could result in death or serious injury.

Chain breakage can result in high-speed ejection of parts, which can result in death or
serious personal injury to operators or bystanders. The items listed below are critical to
minimizing the risk of chain breakage and injury.

• DO NOT operate a diamond chainsaw with a damaged, modified, broken, or missing side

cover, bottom guard, or guard flap. The side cover, bottom guard, and guard flap provides
protection against contact with moving parts, ejected debris, broken diamond chain,
thrown water and concrete slurry.

• DO NOT install or run the chain backwards. The bumper must lead the segment into

the cut.

• DO NOT insert a diamond chainsaw into a slot narrower than the chain segments. Rapid

pushback might occur. Reference: Most diamond segments are .225 inches (5.72 mm)
wide.

• DO NOT use damaged, modified or improperly repaired chain.

• DO NOT run a diamond chainsaw upside-down. Concrete debris can fly back into the

operator’s face.

• DO NOT cut ductile iron pipe with a diamond chainsaw. Segment loss or chain breakage

may occur.
