INCORRECT USE OF THE CRACK SAW CAN

POSSIBILITY, GIVE COMPLETE AND UNDIVIDED
ATTENTION TO THE JOB AT HAND AND
FOLLOW THESE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
PREPARATION.
1) This Crack Saw is specialized type of powered
equipment, designed for a specific job function and
requires adequate and thorough instruction
BEFORE it is operated. The size, power, complexity
and operating characteristics of this type of powered
equipment would dictate that each operator must
receive adequate, professional instruction regarding
the proper operation of this Crack Saw before being
allowed to utilize it. BEFORE attempting to utilize
this Crack Saw, read this Operator's Manual, the
applicable Safety and Operational Information Video
Tape and the material supplied by the engine
manufacturer to familiarize each operator with its
correct operating procedures. Avoid the urge not to
take the necessary time to read this Operator's
Manual before operating the Crack Saw. DO NOT
OPERATE THE CRACK SAW UNTIL EACH
OPERATOR COMPLETELY COMPREHENDS THE
CONTENTS OF THIS MANUAL AND THE
APPLICABLE SAFETY AND OPERATIONAL
INFORMATION VIDEO TAPE.
2) Develop a comprehensive program for the safe
operation of the Crack Saw by its owner(s) and/or
operator(s). Such a program will include, but is not
limited to: instructional requirements for operation,
applicable OSHA requirements, local laws and
regulations, job site safety and a Crack Saw
maintenance program. Constantly examine and
upgrade this program to guarantee owner(s) and/or
operator(s) safety. Each operator must be fully
instructed regarding the specifics of this safety
program.
3) Determine that the Crack Saw is in its original,
factory configuration and has not been modified in
any manner. Many modifications can result in
potentially dangerous configurations that can lead to
property damage and/or personal injury. If there are
any questions about possible modifications made to
the Crack Saw, contact the Customer Service
Department for specific information BEFORE
utilization. There is no charge for this service. Do not
operate the Crack Saw without the use of the
original equipment V-belt and diamond blade
guards. Use of the Crack Saw without an approved
belt guard and/or diamond blade guard can lead to
property damage and/or personal injury.
4) Minors should never be allowed to operate the
Crack Saw. Bystanders, especially children and
animals, should not be allowed in the area where the
Crack Saw is in use. The sawing process can result
in flying particles being emitted at high velocity and
striking the operator and/or onlookers. This can lead
to the possibility of property damage and/or personal
injury. Keep all body parts, loose clothing, foreign
objects and onlookers clear of the rotating diamond
blade, caster wheels, main wheels and flying
particles.
5) Operators must be in adequate physical
condition, mental health and not under the influence
of any substance (drugs, alcohol, etc.) which might
impair vision, dexterity or judgment. Working with
the Crack Saw is strenuous. If you have any
condition that might be aggravated by strenuous
work, check with your doctor BEFORE operating the
Crack Saw. Guard against the possibility of back
related injuries. Always lift the Crack Saw with leg
muscles and not with the back.
