the disposition of all hazardous

NOTE
Maintenance
General maintenance practices are crucial to the
performance and longevity of your saw. The extreme
environments of sawing operations require routine
cleaning, lubrication, belt tensioning, and inspection for
wear and damage
The following procedures devoted to main-
tenance can prevent serious saw damage
or malfunctioning. Before servicing or in-
spection, ALWAYS park the saw on a level
surface with the blade removed, and the
Console Engine ON/OFF switch & Engine
ON/OFF switch in “OFF” position.
Some maintenance operations may re-
quire the engine to be run. Ensure that
the maintenance area is well ventilated.
Exhaust contains poisonous carbon mon-
oxide gas that can cause of unconscious-
ness and may result in DEATH.
