Barranca Diamond BD10 Power Feed Trim Saw - Manual (Page 5)

5
DIRECTION OF FEED
Always feed work into a blade or cutter in the direction shown in this manual. All blades, grinding wheels or
polishing belts should always be installed such that rotation is in the direction of the arrow imprinted on the
blade, wheel or belt.
ONLY OPERATE AT THE PROPER SPEED
Severe personal injury and damage to the motor or equipment can result if operated at speeds above
maximum.
NEVER LEAVE SAW RUNNING UNATTENDED – TURN POWER OFF
Do not leave a tool until it comes to a complete stop. Always turn the saw off and disconnect the power cord to
its source when leaving the work area or when work is finished. Do not leave extension cords attached to the
power cord or power receptacle (wall outlet) when leaving the work area.
CHECK FOR DAMAGED OR WORN PARTS
Before using a power tool, check for damaged parts. A guard or any other part that is damaged should be
carefully checked to determine if it would operate properly and perform its intended function. Always check
moving parts for proper alignment or binding. Check for broken parts and mountings and all other conditions
that may affect the operation of the power tool. A guard, or any damaged part, should be properly repaired or
replaced.
USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES AND PARTS
Consult the owner’s manual for recommended accessories and parts. Using improper parts and accessories
may increase the risk of personal and/or bystander injury.
USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD
If using an extension cord make sure it is in good condition first. When using an extension cord, be sure to
use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line
voltage that will result in a loss of power and overheating. The table on page 8, shows the correct AWG size
to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The
smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.
USE A GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER
Use of a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter between the end of power cord and wall outlet is required at all times.
USE THE PROPER POWER SOURCE
If saw is to be used with a 120 volt 60 HZ power source, ensure power source is at least 15 amps and 110 to
120 volts. Low voltage current can adversely effect electric motor performance and overall life.
If saw is to be used with 220 volt 50/60Hz power source ensure power source is at least 10 amps.
USE THE RECOMMENDED COOLING AND LUBRICATING FLUIDS
Never operate a tool that requires coolant or lubricate dry. This can lead to shortened tool life, tool damage and
personal injury.
MAINTAIN SAW WITH CARE
Keep the diamond blade sharp, the sawing lubricant clean and reservoir filled to the correct level for the best
and safest performance. Always follow the maintenance instructions for sharpening the blade, lubricating and
servicing the BD10.
