STOW CUTTER 1 CE SAW — PROPOSITION 65 WARNING
Engine exhaust and some of its constituents, and some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drillingandotherconstructionactivities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects and other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
Leadfromlead-basedpaints. Crystallinesilicafrombricks. Cementandothermasonryproducts. Arsenicandchromiumfrom chemically treatedlumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, dependingonhowoftenyoudothistype of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in aALWAYS well ventilated area, and work with
approved safety equipment, such as
dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

STOW CUTTER 1 CE SAW — SILICOSIS/RESPIRATORY WARNINGS
WARNING
SILICOSIS WARNING RESPIRATORY HAZARDS
Grinding/cutting/drilling of masonry, concrete, metal and other materials with silica in their composition may give off dust or mists containing crystalline silica. Silica is a basic component of sand, quartz, brick clay, granite and numerous other minerals and rocks. Repeated and/or substantial inhalation of airborne crystalline silica can cause serious or fatal respiratory diseases, including silicosis. In addition, California and some other authorities have listed respirable crystalline silica as a substance known to cause cancer. When cutting such materials, always follow the respiratory precautions mentioned above.
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. 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 manufacturers or suppliers, 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, the operator and any bystanders should always wear a respirator approved by NIOSH/MSHA for the materials being used.

WARNING
ALWAYS check to make sure that the
cutting area is clear before starting the engine.
Diamond Blade Safety
Use appropriate steel centered diamond blades manufactured for use on concrete saws. See further blade information on pages 19 to 21.
WARNING
ALWAYS inspect diamond blades
before each use. The blade should exhibit no cracks, dings, or flaws in the steel centered core and/or rim. Center (arbor) hole must be undamaged and true.
Examine blade flanges for damage and excessive wear. Ensure the cleanliness of the blade before blade is installed.
Blade should fit snugly on the shaft and against the inside/ outside blade flanges.
Ensure the blade is marked with an operating speed greater than the spindle speed of the saw.
Only cut the material that is specified for the diamond blade. Read the specifications of the diamond blade to ensure the proper tool has been matched to the material being cut. The saw has been engineered for WET CUTTING. Ensure a WET CUTTING blade is being used and that the water supply system to the blade is properly functioning and being used.
ALWAYS keep blade guards in place. Exposure of the diamond blade must not exceed 180 degrees.
Ensure that the diamond blade does not come into contact with the ground or surface during transportation. DO NOT drop the diamond blade on ground or surface.
The engine governor is set to permit maximum engine speed in a no-load condition. Do not tamper with the engine governor to increase the speed. Increasing the engine speed could allow the maximum rated spindle speed to be exceeded, creating an unsafe condition.
Keep all inexperienced and unauthorized people clear of the cutting area when operating the saw.
Always observe all applicable compulsory regulations relevant to environmental protection, especially fuel storage, the handling of hazardous substances, and the wearing of protective clothing and equipment. Instruct the user as necessary, or, as the user, request this information and training.
PAGE 8 — STOW CUTTER 1 CE — OPERATION MANUAL — REV. #2 (12/20/07)
Ensure that the blade is mounted for proper operating direction. (See Figure 3, page 15)
Adhere to the Blade Manufacturer's recommendations on handling, storage, and safe usage of blades.
