MK-6000 SAW SAFETY
SILICA DUST WARNING
Grinding/cutting/drilling of masonry, concrete, metal and other materials can generate dust, mists and
fumes containing chemicals known to cause serious or fatal injury or illness, such as respiratory disease, cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. If you are unfamiliar with the risks associated
with the particular process and/or material being cut or the composition of the tool being used, review
the material safety data sheet and/or consult your employer, the material manufacturer/supplier, governmental agencies such as OSHA and NIOSH and other sources on hazardous materials and make
certain to comply with all product warnings and instructions for the safe and effective use of the material being cut. California and some other authorities, for instance, have published lists of substances
known to cause cancer, reproductive toxicity, or other harmful effects.
Control dust, mist and fumes at the source where possible. In this regard use good work practices
and follow the recommendations of the manufacturer/supplier, OSHA/NIOSH, and occupational and
trade associations. Water should be used for dust suppression when wet cutting is feasible. When
the hazards from inhalation of dust, mists and fumes cannot be eliminated through engineering controls such as vacuum and/or water mist, the operator and any bystanders should always wear a respirator approved by NIOSH/MSHA for the material being cut.
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 MESSAGE
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contain chemicals known (to the State of California) to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead, from lead-based paints
• Crystalline silica, from bricks and cement and other masonry products
• Arsenic and chromium, from chemically treated lumber
For further information, consult the following sources:
http://www.osha.gov/dsg/topics/silicacrystalline/index.html
http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/consilic.html
http://oehha.ca.gov/prop65/law/P65law72003.html
http://www.dir.ca.gov/Title8/sub4.html
Your risk from these exposures varies depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to lter out microscopic particles.

ground before using.
• NEVER operate this machine in an explosive atmosphere.
• Establish a training program and give a copy of this manual to operators of this equipment. If you
need extra copies, call (800) 421-5830.
SAW BLADE SAFETY
For complete safety information, refer to ANSI Safety Code B7.1 available through the American National
Standards Institute.
• ALWAYS keep area around the machine clear of obstructions and clear the work area of
unnecessary people. Keep all body parts away from the blade and all other moving parts.
• Before starting the machine, check that all guards are in position and correctly tted.
NEVER allow blade exposure from the guard to be more than 180 degrees. DO NOT
operate this machine with any guard removed.
• Inspect the blade, anges and shafts for damage before installing the blade. NEVER use damaged
or worn blade anges.
• The blade shaft anges must be of proper diameter for the size blade being used.
• Inspect the blade, anges and size shown for each blade size. DO NOT exceed maximum blade
speed shown, as excessive speed could result in blade breakage. Use ONLY blades marked with a
maximum operating speed greater than the blade shaft speed. Verify speed and saw drive
conguration by checking blade shaft RPM and pulley diameters and blade ange diameters.
• Use the correct blade for the type of work being done. Use only reinforced abrasive blades or steel
center diamond blades and anges supplied with the saw or manufactured for use on concrete saws.
DO NOT use carbide-tipped blades. Check with the blade manufacturer if you do not know if blade
is correct.
• Make sure the blade and anges are clean and free of dirt and debris before mounting the blade on
the saw. Verify the blade arbor hole matches the machine spindle before mounting the blade.
ALWAYS mount the blade solidly and rmly. Wrench tighten the arbor nut.
7
MK-6000 SAW SAFETY
• Make sure the blade is not contacting anything before starting the engine.
• ALWAYS cut in a straight line. DO NOT cut deeper than 1” per pass with a dry blade. Step cut to
achieve deeper cuts. NEVER cock, jam wedge or twist the blade in a cut. DO NOT grind on the side
of the blade.
FUELING SAFETY

• ALWAYS use caution when handling fuel. Shut off the engine and allow to cool before refueling.
• Move the machine at least 10 feet (3 meters) from the fueling point before starting the engine and
make sure the gas cap is on the machine and the fuel can is properly tightened.
• DO NOT touch a dry cutting blade immediately after use. These blades require several
minutes to cool after each cut. DO NOT use a blade that has been overheated (Core
has bluish color).

Never attempt to off load the saw on uneven ground of any degree or slope.
1. When transporting the saw from location to location, be sure the transmission drive system is
engaged. The FNR handle must be in the neutral position.
2. Lower the saw completely to relieve the weight on the front axle assembly.
3. For prolonged hauling, the saw should be blocked and chained to prevent undue stress and strain
on the drive system.
