BD-1272 RAIL SAW   

                     SAFETY 

DIRECTION OF FEED

All blades, grinding wheels or polishing belts should always be installed such that rotation is in the 

direction of the arrow imprinted on the blade, wheel or belt.

ONLY OPERATE AT THE PROPER SPEED

Severe personal injury and damage to the motor or equipment can result if operated at speeds 

above maximum.

NEVER LEAVE A TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED – TURN POWER OFF

Do not leave a tool until it comes to a complete stop. Always turn the tool off, and disconnect 

the power cord to its source, when leaving the work area or when work is finished. Do not leave 

extension cords attached to the power cord or power receptacle (wall outlet) when leaving the work 

area.

CHECK FOR DAMAGED OR WORN PARTS

Before using a power tool, check for damaged parts. A guard or any other part that is damaged 

should be carefully checked to determine if it would operate properly and perform its intended 

function. Always check moving parts for proper alignment or binding. Check for broken parts and 

mountings and all other conditions that may affect the operation of the power tool. A guard, or any 

damaged part, should be properly repaired or replaced. 

USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES AND PARTS

Consult the owner’s manual for recommended accessories and parts. Using improper parts and 

accessories may increase the risk of personal and/or bystander injury.

USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD 

If using an extension cord, make sure it is in good condition first. When using an extension cord, 

be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord 

will cause a drop in line voltage that will result in a loss of power and overheating. The table on 

page 8, shows the correct AWG (American Wire Gauge) size to use depending on cord length and 

nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, 

the heavier the cord.

USE THE PROPER POWER SOURCE

This tool is only to be used with a 120 volt 60 HZ power source. Ensure power source is at least 15 

amps and 110 to 120 volts. Low voltage current can adversely effect electric motor performance and

overall life.

USE THE RECOMMENDED COOLING AND LUBRICATING FLUIDS

Never operate a tool dry that requires coolant or lubricant. This can lead to shortened tool life, tool 

damage and personal injury.

MAINTAIN TOOLS

Keep the diamond blade sharp, the sawing lubricant clean and reservoir filled to the correct level 

for the best and safest performance. Always follow the maintenance instructions for sharpening the 

blade, lubricating and servicing the saw.
