SAFETY

THE FOLLOWING SYMBOL APPLIES TO ALL THE ITEMS LISTED ON THIS PAGE

A potentially hazardous situation exists which, if not avoided,

WARNING

could result in death or serious injury.

Diamond chain breakage can result in high-speed ejection of parts, which can result in death or serious personal injury to operators or bystanders. The items listed below are critical to minimizing the risk of diamond chain breakage and injury.

• DO NOT operate a diamond chainsaw with a damaged, modified, broken or missing side

cover, bottom guard or guard flap. The side cover, bottom guard and guard flap provides protection against contact with moving parts, ejected debris, broken diamond chain, thrown water and concrete slurry.

• DO NOT operate saw with loose, missing damaged or improperly repaired parts.

• DO NOT exceed the hydraulic flow for your saw model: 8 gpm (30 lpm) or 12 gpm (45 lpm)

at 2,500 psi (172.5 bar) hydraulic pressure.

• DO NOT install or run the chain backwards. The bumper should lead the segment into the

cut.

Bumper

• DO NOT run the saw backwards. The chain should travel away from the operator on the

top of the bar and return on the bottom of the bar.

• DO NOT insert the diamond chainsaw into a slot narrower than the chain segments.

Rapid pushback might occur. Ref: Most diamond segements are .225 (5.72 mm) wide.

• DO NOT use the 853PRO side cover as a replacement cover for another saw.

• DO NOT run the saw upside-down. Concrete debris can fly back into the operator’s face.

• DO NOT use your hands to search for hydraulic leaks. Hydraulic fluid escaping under

pressure can penetrate skin. If any hydraulic flud is injected into skin seek medical attention immediately.

• NEVER cut ductile iron pipe with the saw (except when using PowerGritTM Utility Saw

Chain). Segment loss or diamond chain breakage may occur.

• See page 12 for information about cutting ductile iron pipe with PowerGrit chain.

SAFETY

853PRO OPERATOR’S MANUAL

THE FOLLOWING SYMBOL APPLIES TO ALL ITEMS LISTED ON THIS PAGE

CAUTION

A potentially hazardous situation exists which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury or property damage.

• Always turn the saw OFF when performing maintenance on the saw including diamond

chain tensioning.

• Never use equipment that is not functioning properly. Have the saw repaired by qualified

service personnel.

• Diamond chains require a minimum water pressure of 20 psi (1.5 bar). Insufficient water

supply may result in excessive wear to the diamond chain, which can lead to loss of strength and diamond chain breakage.

• Never start the saw unless the guide bar, diamond chain and side cover are properly

installed.

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• Always wear protective clothing, including hard hat, eye protection, hearing protection, and gloves.

• Avoid loose fitting clothing.

• Perform safety checks before starting each day.

• Always operate tool with solid footing and with both hands on cut-off saw.

• Remove or control slurry to prevent slippery conditions while cutting.

• Be sure there are no obstructions (plumbing, electrical conduit, air ducts) and no unnecessary people present.

• Set up a well-marked safety zone with a roped boundary and clear signs.

• Provide adequate ventilation when working in an enclosed area. Breathing exhaust gases is dangerous.

• To avoid electrocution, check for live electrical wiring near cutting area.
