MQ STREET PRO 1 CE SAW — RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
■
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.
■
Ensure that the blade is mounted for proper operating
direction. (See Figure 4, page 13)
■
Adhere to the Blade Manufacturer's recommendations on
handling, storage, and safe usage of blades.
