• Inspect the blade flanges for damages,
wear, and cleanliness. Clean or replace
dirty/damaged components immediately.
• DO NOT expose yourself or
anyone else to the direct line of
the blade when operating the
equipment.
• Always use an appropriate size blade and
the correct blade type based on the cutting
task and the type of material being cut.
• The blade must always fit snug on the
blade shaft, outer flange, and/or inner
flange.
• Wear gloves and be alert to the
surrounding environment when handling
blades.
• When installing the blade, always point the
arrow printed on the blade in the direction
of the blade shaft’s rotation.
• DO NOT exceed the blade’s maximum
recommended speed when cutting.
Excessive blade speeds can cause blade
breakage, resulting in serious injuries
and/or death!
• DO NOT use damaged blades when
cutting to avoid harming yourself, others, or
the equipment.
• DO NOT use a blade for cutting that
requires a lower speed than the blade shaft
speed.
• Always tighten the blade shaft bolt/screw
as directed to properly secure the outer
flange and blade. Failure to properly secure
the outer flange and blade may cause parts
to loosen or fall off the equipment, resulting

while cutting.
• When pivoting the front of the blade guard,
raise/lower it cautiously and slowly to avoid
serious injuries.
• DO NOT pivot the blade guard front up or
down when installing/removing very large
blades. Attempting to pivot the front of a
heavy guard when the guard is positioned
higher up for blade installation/removal
makes the guard difficult to lift and/or lower.
In this situation, install/remove the blade
guard front instead of pivoting it.
14

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Always pivot the front of the
blade guard 180° (fully upward)
so the guard does not swing
down unexpectedly, causing
serious injuries.
• Always secure the front pivoted section of
the blade guard using the detent pin
(guards 26” and up).
• Use extreme caution when
installing/removing parts of a guard or the
