4. Keep all parts of body away from blade and other moving parts. Do not touch or try
to stop a moving blade with your hand.

5. Know how to stop saw quickly in case of emergency.

6. Inspect blade, flanges, guards and arbor shaft for damage before mounting blade.
Verify blade arbor matches the machine arbor.

7. Only use blades marked with a maximum operating speed greater than blade shaft
speed. Read and understand warnings and instructions on the blade. Use the
correct blade for the type of work to be done. If you are unsure, check with the blade
manufacturer.

8. Use caution and follow instructions when transporting, lifting and setting up saw.
Always tie down the machine when transporting.

lit, and free from safety hazards.

Failure to comply with following warnings could

result in serious bodily injury!

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Set saw frame on a sturdy, level surface. If using standard legs, insert them in
square tubes under saw frame. Tighten wing screws before allowing frame’s weight
to rest on legs. This will prevent the saw frame from wobbling on the legs, possibly
cocking them in different directions, which will impair saw stability. If using the
optional folding stand, make sure that it is placed on level ground so that saw will not
tilt or fall over. If folding stand has optional wheel kit, make sure that brakes on front
wheels are engaged before placing frame on stand or beginning to saw.

WARNING:

Be certain that saw frame will not tilt or fall over before placing cutting head on

frame or operating saw. Failure to do so may result in bodily injury.

2. Place cutting head on saw frame, lining up recesses in pivot shaft with slots in frame
arms. Make sure flats on pivot shaft are facing upward. Slide T-handle pins through
holes in frame arms across pivot shaft flats to secure cutting head. Hook spring
through eyebolt attached to frame. Rotate cutting head backwards until spring hooks
over shaft welded to side of cutting head. Remove hair pin cotter and flat washer
from end of shaft. Place hole in depth lock over end of shaft, and secure with flat
washer and hair pin cotter. Make sure handle and conveyor cart are clean.

3. To cut wet:

Electric motor - Fill water tub within one inch of top. Place pump in water tub so that

intake is fully submerged at all times. Plug pump into receptacle in motor capacitor
box. Pump will run whenever motor is switched on. Do not allow pump to run dry to
avoid damaging it. Open water valve fully on blade guard, and check water flow
before cutting. Water should flow at 2 - 5 GPM (gallons per minute) to adequately
cool wet cutting blades.

Gas engine - Connect a garden hose to fitting on blade guard. Open water valve fully

before cutting. Water should flow at 2 - 5 GPM (gallon per minute) to adequately
cool wet cutting blades.

4. To cut dry:

Electric motor - Disconnect pump plug from motor outlet while motor is switched OFF.

Close water valve on blade guard.

Gas engine - Close water valve on blade guard. Disconnect garden hose from fitting.

WARNING:

Only cut dry with adequate ventilation and proper respiratory protection.
