Introduction

890F4 OPERATOR MANUAL

INTRODUCTION

The 890 power cutter is designed to cut concrete, stone, and masonry when used with the appropriate genuine ICS Diamond Chain. Ductile iron pipe may

also be cut but ONLY if using PowerGrit® Utility Chain. This is a professional tool and is solely intended for use by trained and experienced operators. A rst

ENGLISH

time operator should obtain practical instruction before using the power cutter, as well as reading and understanding this Operator’s Manual.

Local legislation and/or workplace standards may regulate the use of this power cutter. Determine what regulations are applicable in the place you work before using the power cutter.

Safety Rules

HANDLING HYDRAULIC FLUID SAFELY

WARNING

Hydraulic uid is combustible or can become combustible.

Consult the SDS (Safety Data Sheet) for the hydraulic uid being used for ash point and auto ignition temperature ranges. When these uids discharge under pressure in a ne mist, they ignite easily, burn rapidly, and emit large quantities of heat. In fact, their heats of combustion, which are over 18,000 BTU/lb (2327 kJ/kg), are comparable to fuel oil.

CAUTION

Check for hydraulic leaks before starting the hydraulic power source.

Visually check for leaks from the hydraulic ttings, and lines and do not use if

any leaks are found.

WORK AREA SAFETY

Following are the basic instructions for work area safety.

WARNING

Drugs or alcohol can impair vision, dexterity, and judgment.

Do not operate the power cutter when tired or under the inuence of any substance.

Do not operate this product during severe inclement weather.

CAUTION

Remove or control slurry to prevent slippery conditions while cutting. This power cutter uses water and can cause slippery surfaces due to the slurry

produced and/or freezing temperatures.

Keep bystanders away from work area.

Set up a well-marked safety zone with a roped boundary and clear signs to keep bystanders at least 6 m (20 ft) away.

Safety Rules

890F4 OPERATOR MANUAL

PERSONAL SAFETY

Following are the basic instructions for personal safety.

WARNING

ENGLISH

Fluids escaping under pressure can penetrate skin and cause severe personal injury.

Do not use hands to search for leaks. Before disconnecting lines, be sure to relieve all pressure. Do not apply pressure to damaged lines, hoses or ttings. If any uid is injected into the skin, seek medical attention immediately to prevent gangrene. Consult supplied hydraulic uid SDS for additional

information regarding proper handling and use instructions.

Long-term exposure to noise can result in permanent hearing impairment.

Always wear approved hearing protection.

This power cutter can generate hazardous dust and vapors.

Determine the nature of the material you are going to cut before proceeding with the job. Be especially aware of cutting materials containing silica and asbestos as inhaling dust can result in respiratory disease. Be sure to use appropriate respiratory protection designed to lter out microscopic particles.

Be sure to use recommended water pressure to minimize dust generation.

Over-exposure to vibration can lead to circulatory and/or nerve damage to the extremities, especially in cold temperatures (Reynaud’s Disease).

If you experience tingling, numbness, pain or changes in skin color, particularly in your ngers, hands or wrists, stop using the power cutter immediately. If the problem persists, seek medical attention.

Always wear protective clothing.

At a minimum always wear eye protection and/or face shield, hearing protection, long sleeve shirt, long pants, closed toe shoes with non-slip soles, and gloves. In many work situations, a hard hat and steel toed shoes may also

be required. Avoid loose tting clothing.

TRANSPORTING & STORING

WARNING

Hydraulic hoses are charged with uid when the power cutter is shipped.

See the icsdiamondtools.com website for SDS information on

the hydraulic uid.

Safety Rules

USING THE ICS POWER CUTTER SAFELY

Following are the basic instructions for safe use of the power cutter. Also read and understand additional safety precautions specic to the operation and

maintenance of the power cutter throughout this manual.

DANGER

DO NOT operate the ICS power cutter with a saw chain or saw bar designed to cut wood. Using wood cutting saw chain on the ICS power cutter

could result in severe injuries to the operator or a bystander! Use ONLY the cutting attachments specied in this manual on this power cutter.

WARNING

DO NOT operate the power cutter with damaged, modied, broken, or

missing components. Below safety features are designed to protect against contact with moving

parts, ejected debris, broken chain, thrown water, and concrete slurry.

• Side cover

• Bae drain

• Mud ap

• Mud ap bracket (Chain Catcher)

• Trigger interlock

Use only Genuine ICS replacement parts. Use of unauthorized aftermarket parts may result in injury or damage to the power cutter.

DO NOT insert the guidebar into a slot narrower than the width of the chain.

Rapid pushback, kickback and/or chain breakage could result.

DO NOT operate the power cutter without an adequate water supply.

The integral water supply channels in the guidebar act to cool and lubricate the cutting system as well as to suppress dust and debris generated during cutting. Assure that the water supply is capable of delivering 1.5 bar (20 psi) pressure to the power cutter at a minimum ow rate of 8 lpm (2 gpm).

Never attempt to cut ductile iron pipe or similar pipe materials with the power cutter unless using PowerGrit® Utility Chain.

Using concrete cutting chain in these applications can cause the chain to snag abruptly in the cut which may result in chain breakage, pushback and/or kickback.
