SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
DUST WARNING
Cutting, especially when DRY cutting, generates dust that comes from the material being cut, which
frequently contains silica. Silica is a basic component of sand, quartz, brick clay, granite and numerous other
minerals and rocks. Exposure to excessive amount of such dust can cause:
• Respiratory diseases (affecting your ability to breath), including chronic bronchitis, silicosis and pulmonary fibrosis from exposure to silica. These diseases may be fatal;
• Skin irritation and rash; and
• Cancer according to NTP* and IARC*
* National Toxicology Program, International Agency for Research on Cancer
Take precautionary steps
• Avoid inhalation of and skin contact with dust, mist and fumes;
• Wet cut when feasible, to minimize dust;
• Wear and ensure that all bystanders wear appropriate respiratory protection such as dust masks de-
signed to filter out microscopic particles. (See OSHA 29 CFR Part 1910.1200)
California Prop 65 Warning:
Use of this product can cause exposure to materials known to the State of California to cause cancer and/or birth
defects or other reproductive harm.

In case of a malfunction, grounding provides a path of
least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of
electric shock.
Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit, have
the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. If
repair or replacement of the electric plug is necessary,
do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a
live terminal.

Use only extensions cords that are intended for
outdoor use and have an electrical rating not less than
the rating of the product. Use only 3-wire extension
cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole
receptacles that accept the tool's plug.
Keep all connections dry, off the ground, away fromheat and sharp edges. Always disconnect the extensioncord from the receptacle before disconnecting the
product form the extension cord. Do not touch the plug
with wet hands. Repair or replace a damaged or worn
cord immediately.
To avoid getting the plug wet, a "drip loop” should be
arranged to properly position the power cord relative to
the power source, as indicated above. The "drip loop"
is that part of the cord below the level of the receptacle,
or the connector, if an extension cord is used. This
method of positioning the cord prevents water from
travelling along the power cord and coming in contact
with the receptacle.
If the plug or receptacle gets wet, DO NOT unplug the
cord. Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that
supplies power to the tool. Then unplug and examine
for presence of water in the receptacle.
This saw is intended for use on a circuit as shown
above. The tool has a grounding plug (A). A temporary
adapters (C) may be used to connect this plug to a
2-pole receptacle (B), if a properly grounded outlet is
not available. The adapter should be used only until a
grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician.
NOTE: Use of a temporary adapter is not permitted in
Canada.

thoroughly lubricate moving parts so the next job saw
is ready for operation.
• The blade must fit the arbor snugly - especially diamond
blades. Otherwise, pounding will occur and this will
seriously damage the blades. If the arbor shoulder is
grooved where the diamond blade has bound in the cut
as the shaft has continued to turn, the arbor must be
replaced, or the blade life will be severely shortened.
• Blade flanges must be full diameter - minimum of 3"
(76 mm). Replace worn flanges at once because
undersized flanges shorten blade life and cause blade
breakage.
• Check the conveyor cart condition on a regular basis.
Replace the wheels and the wooden insert frequently.
• Be certain the cutting head is correctly aligned.
Blade misalignment because of handling damage, or
transporting the saw with the cutting head on the frame
can seriously affect blade life.
• Replace noisy bearings immediately! Worn bearings
will quickly destroy the blade.
• Diamond blades may need to be “sharpened”. Blades
may be efficiently “dressed” with dressing sticks.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING!
Never use fire bricks to “sharpen” or dress diamond
blades!
WARNING!
Abrasive blades must be a reinforced type!
Never use an abrasive blade with water!
Abrasive Blades can be damaged by operator abuse,
such as jamming material into blade!

DUST WARNING
Cutting, especially when DRY cutting, generates dust that comes from the material being cut, which
frequently contains silica. Silica is a basic component of sand, quartz, brick clay, granite and numerous other
minerals and rocks. Exposure to excessive amount of such dust can cause:
• Respiratory diseases (affecting your ability to breath), including chronic bronchitis, silicosis and pulmonary fibrosis from exposure to silica. These diseases may be fatal;
• Skin irritation and rash; and
• Cancer according to NTP* and IARC*
* National Toxicology Program, International Agency for Research on Cancer
Take precautionary steps
• Avoid inhalation of and skin contact with dust, mist and fumes;
• Wet cut when feasible, to minimize dust;
• Wear and ensure that all bystanders wear appropriate respiratory protection such as dust masks de-
signed to filter out microscopic particles. (See OSHA 29 CFR Part 1910.1200)
California Prop 65 Warning:
Use of this product can cause exposure to materials known to the State of California to cause cancer and/or birth
defects or other reproductive harm.
