SAFETY INFORMATION
LIFTING SAFETY
CAUTION
NEVER allow any person or animal to stand underneath
the equipment while lifting.
Some saws are very heavy and awkward to move around.
Use proper heavy lifting procedures.
DO NOT attempt to lift the saw by the guards, handle
bars or front pointers.
NOTICE
The easiest way to lift the saw is to utilize the lifting bale. A
strap or chain can be attached to the lifting bale, allowing
a forklift or crane to lift the saw up onto and off of a slab
of concrete. The strap or chain should have a minimum
of 2,000 pounds (1,000 kg) lifting capacity and the lifting
gear must be capable of lifting at least this amount.
Before lifting, make sure that the lifting bale is not
damaged.
Use one point suspension hook and lift straight upwards.
LIFTING BALE
NEVER tip the engine to extreme angles during lifting as
it may cause oil to gravitate into the cylinder head, making
the engine start diffi cult.
Always make sure crane or lifting device has been
properly secured to the lifting bale.
DO NOT lift machine to unnecessary heights.
NEVER lift the equipment while the engine is running.
ALWAYS
use ramps capable of supporting the weight of
the saw and the operator to load and unload the saw.
TRANSPORTING SAFETY
NOTICE
ALWAYS shutdown engine before transporting.
Tighten fuel tank cap securely and close fuel cock to
prevent fuel from spilling.
ALWAYS tie down equipment during transport by
securing the equipment with rope.
Ensure that the diamond blade does not come into contact
with the ground or surface during transportation.
NEVER
transport the saw to or from the job site with the
blade mounted.
