•Engine exhaust from this product contains
chemicals known to the State of California to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproduc-
tive harm.
•Gasoline is extremely flammable and poisonous.
It should only be dispensed in well ventilated areas,
and with a cool engine.
•Small gasoline engines produce high concentra-
tions of carbon monoxide (CO) example: a 5 HP 4 cycle
engine operation in an enclosed 100,000 cu. ft. area with
only one change of air per hour is capable of providing
deadly concentrations of CO in less than fifteen minutes.
Five changes of air in the same area will produce noxious
fumes in less than 30 minutes. Gasoline or propane pow-
ered equipment should not be used in enclosed or partially
enclosed areas. Symptoms of CO poisoning include, head-
ache, nausea, weakness, dizziness, visual problems and
loss of consciousness. If symptoms occur - get into fresh
air and seek medical attention immediately.

Safety Guidelines
Safety warnings and guidelines do not by themselves eliminate danger.
They are not substitutes for proper accident prevention procedures and good judgement.
Read and understand this Operator’s Instruction Manual,
and the Engine Manufacturer’s Owner’s Manual
before operating this equipment.
Death of serious injury can result if this machine is used improperly.
Eye and ear protection must be worn at all times while the saw is in use. During normal
operation, sound pressure levels exceed 92dBA. Use onlyANSI approved safety glasses
to help prevent eye injury. Standard eyeglasses have only impact resistant lenses; they are
NOT safety glasses.
Operator must wear appropriate clothing and footwear. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry
that can get tangled in moving parts. Footwear should provide sure footing and protection
from debris that may be dropped. Take steps to insure hair will not be caught in moving parts.
If necessary, tie it back.
• When loading or unloading the saw, use caution. Make sure rolling table is locked so that the blade will not be
damaged. Do not move the saw while the engine is running.
• Never exceed the maximum operating speed of the blade. Match the blade speed rating with the arbor shaft
speed.
• Never leave the saw running unattended.
• Never operate this saw under the influence of drugs, alcohol or when taking medications that impair the senses or
reactions, or when excessively tired or under stress.
• Do not lend or rent this equipment without including the Operator’s Instruction Manual and the Engine Manufac-
turer’s Manual.
• Make sure all safety decals can be clearly read and understood. Replace damaged or missing decals immedi-
ately.
For Electric Models:
• Electric motor must be properly grounded at all times. Check the outlet box to be sure the electrical service is
properly grounded and that adequate power is available. Insufficient power will cause motor to overheat and burn
out. Use only grounded extension cords correctly sized for the current draw and voltage drop (amp rating and
length). Never use frayed, damaged, taped or underrated extension cords. Electrical shock could result in death
or serious injury and damage to the equipment.
Dry cutting creates a large volume of airborne dust. For health reasons, the operator should wear
an applicable respirator. The dust may contain chemicals known to cause serious illnesses, in-
cluding Silicosis - a fatal disease of the lungs. Check the chemical properties of the material to be
cut and follow all EPA/OSHA regulations.

Before Starting:
• Read and understand the instructions supplied by the engine manufacturer.
• Familiarize yourself with all saw controls.
• Visually inspect the entire machine for damage or wear. Remove excess dirt or debris. Check that all nuts, bolts and
screws are tight. Check for proper alignment of moving parts, possible binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
loose mounting brackets, and any other condition that might affect operation.
• Inspect diamond blade. Check blades for cracks, loose segments, worn or out-of-round arbor holes. Do not use
warped, twisted, out-of-balance blades or any blade of questionable condition. Refer to Rx for Diamond Blades.

Starting the Electric Motor:
• Be sure blade is clear of the item to be cut.
• Turn on the motor.
• Listen for motor to reach operating speed. Do not use if motor hums or does not reach operating speed within a
few seconds. Motor hum may indicate a malfunction due to:
- Job site voltage may too low.
- An Internal motor problem.
- The blade may be jammed.
Cutting:
• Do not strain the engine/motor while cutting. Do not jam work piece into the blade. Do not twist the work piece
while cutting.
• When you have finished cutting: Wait until saw comes to a complete stop before performing any type mainte-
nance. Clean dust and debris from machine.
IMPORTANT:
• When actually cutting masonry products, it is important that the blade is at it’s maximum RPM. DO NOT force or
jam the blade. Forcing the blade will cause the motor to overheat, tripping the overload device or severe motor
damage.
• Do not reach underneath or around work piece while the blade is rotating.
• Keep stable footing at all times while cutting.
• Keep hair, clothing, fingers and all body parts away from the blade and any other
moving parts.
Hoisting:
• Always inspect frame and attaching hardware for damage before lifting. Use proper safe hoisting
techniques and hardware. Never lift overhead.
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 sheets and/or consult your employer,
the manufacturers/suppliers, 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 recom-
mendations of the manufacturers/suppliers, OSHA/NIOSH, and occupational and trade associations. Water should
beused for dustsuppression when wetgrinding/cutting/drilling is feasible. Whenthe hazards frominhalationof dust,
mists and fumes cannot be eliminated, the operator and any bystanders should always wear a respirator approved
by NIOSH/MSHA for the material being used.
Grinding/cutting/drilling of masonry, concrete 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
fatalrespiratorydiseases, including silicosis. Inaddition, California and someother authorities have listedrespirable
crystalline silica as a substance known to cause cancer. When grinding/cutting/drilling such materials, always follow
the respiratory precautions mentioned above.

Clean and Lubricate Wheels on Rolling Table
• During daily visual inspection, check to be sure the wheels on
the rolling table move smoothly and that there is no debris in the
wheel groove.
• Lubricate the wheels as necessary.
• Replace damaged or worn wheels.
Inspect and Clean Air Filter:
(Picture above shows filter element).
• Check air filter at least once daily.
• Dirt build up on the filter will cause excessive motor wear and overheating.
• To clean filter loosen the screw holding the band in place, remove the band and
filter, wash in mild soapy water and let air dry. When dry coat the end of the
filter with a light coat of light oil.
• Reinstall the filter back on to the motor and tighten the bad securely.
