this machine near gasoline or other flammable
liquids.

• Make sure machine is securely placed on a
sturdy, level surface with ample working area
and away from open electrical outlets.

• Check for damaged parts. Before use of this

machine, always check for any damaged parts
to determine that it will operate properly and
perform its intended function. Check for proper
alignment of moving parts, binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any
other conditions that may aect its operation. A
part that is damaged must be properly replaced
through the manufacturer of this machine to
avoid risk of injury.

• Use only identical 4" Trim saw parts for
replacement parts. Use of any other parts not

originally intended for the 4" Trim saw machine
may create a hazard or cause product damage.

manual carefully. Learn the correct applications

loose clothing, gloves, neckties or jewelry that

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

are not safety glasses. If anyone is around the
machine while it’s in use, they must also wear
safety glasses.

• Keep work area well lit and clean. Make sure
your work area is not cluttered.

• Do not operate unattended. Adult supervision
is required at all times. Never leave the machine
running unattended.

• Do not operate this machine while under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or any medication.

• Never run saw blades dry. Saw blades are

designed to be used with a lubricant, such as oil
or water, and will be ruined immediately if used
dry. Always make sure you are using adequate
oil or water while sawing so that rock dust
doesn’t form. This dust contains chemicals that
can be hazardous to your lungs if inhaled and
is known to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. To reduce your exposure
to these chemicals, work in a well ventilated
area and wear a face or dust mask if the sawing
operation is dusty.

• Never attempt to cut curves with the saw
blade. Saw blades are designed to cut straight

lines only. Ignoring this warning may result in a
damaged saw blade and possible injury.

• Never cut more than one workpiece at a time.

• Some rocks contain poisonous elements.

Avoid sawing rocks that contain uranium,
mercury, lead, arsenic, etc. Make sure you know
the material you are sawing.

• Allow your trim saw to cool. By ignoring this
warning, the 4" Trim saw can overheat and deform
the saw housing. We recommend cutting on the 4"
Trim saw for 30 minutes on, then allow 30 minutes
o so the machine can cool down.

• Do not force the tool or attachment to do a job
it is not designed to do.

• Saw blades continue to spin aer turn o,

eventually slowing to a stop.

• Avoid awkward operations and hand
positions. Make sure you have good balance

while working on this machine. A sudden slip
could cause your hand to move into the disc.

• Always stay alert. You must be focused while
working on this machine. Stones can catch on the
saw blade and eject out of the sawing area.

MAINTENANCE

• Always disconnect from power before
servicing. Disconnect machine from power

source before making any adjustments and when
not in use.

• Do not abuse the power cord. Never carry
the machine by the cord or yank it to disconnect
from receptacle. Keep cord away from heat, oil
and sharp edges.

• Do not open the saw housing. There are no
user serviceable parts inside.

• Clean and dry machine aer use.
