Safety warnings and guidelines do not by themselves eliminate danger.
They are not substitutes for proper accident prevention procedures and good judgement.
Read and understand this Operator’s Instruction Manual,
and the Engine Manufacturer’s Owner’s Manual
before operating this equipment.
Death of serious injury can result if this machine is used improperly.
Safety Guidelines
Eye and ear protection must be worn at all times while the drill is in use. During normal op-
eration, sound pressure levels may exceed 85dBA. Use only ANSI approved safety glasses
to help prevent eye injury. Standard eyeglasses have only impact resistant lenses; they are
NOT safety glasses.
Operator must wear appropriate clothing and footwear. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry
that can get tangled in moving parts. Footwear should provide sure footing and protection
from debris that may be dropped. Take steps to insure hair will not be caught in moving parts.
If necessary, tie it back.
• When loading or unloading the drill, use caution. Make sure carriage is locked so that the blade will not be
damaged. Do not move the drill while the motor is running.
• Never exceed the maximum operating speed of the bit. Match the bit speed rating with the AMP rating of the
motor speed.
• Never leave the drill running unattended.
• Never operate this saw under the infl uence of drugs, alcohol or when taking medications that impair the senses or
reactions, or when excessively tired or under stress.
• Do not lend or rent this equipment without including the Operator’s Instruction Manual and the Engine Manufac-
turer’s Manual.
• Make sure all safety decals can be clearly read and understood. Replace damaged or missing decals immedi-
ately.
Dry cutting creates a large volume of airborne dust. For health reasons, the operator should wear
an applicable respirator. The dust may contain chemicals known to cause serious illnesses, in-
cluding Silicosis - a fatal disease of the lungs. Check the chemical properties of the material to be
cut and follow all EPA/OSHA regulations.
