Clipper C9, Owner'S Manual

6 

1.  Before mounting any blade on the saw, the blade should be inspected for 

any damage which might have occurred during shipment, handling or 
previous use. 

2.  The blade collars and arbors should be cleaned and examined for 

damage before mounting the blade. 

3.  The blade must be properly fitted over the arbor with the drive pin on the 

outside collar projecting through the drive pin hole on the blade and 
inside collar. 

4.  The blade shaft nut, which is a left-hand thread nut, must be tightened 

securely against the outside blade shaft collar. 

5.  The blade must be operated within the specified maximum operating 

speed listed on the blade. 

6.  Turn water control valve to full to provide adequate coolant  (4 to 6 

gallons per minute) for diamond blades and wet cutting abrasive blades.  
Insufficient coolant could result in severe blade breakage or diamond 
segment separation. 

7.  The blade guard must be in place with the nose guard down and locked 

when the saw is running. 

8.  The operator should wear safety glasses and any other appropriate 

safety equipment. 

9.  When starting the saw, the operator should stand away and to the side of 

the blade. 

10.  If for any reason the saw should stall in the cut, raise the blade out of 

the cut.  Check the outside blade shaft collar and nut for tightness.  
Inspect the blade for damage before restarting the saw.  Use caution 
when resuming a cut.  Be certain that the blade is in alignment with the 
previous cut. 

11.  During cutting operations, do not exert excess side pressure on the 

handles as a method of steering.  Do not force the blade into the cut by 
lowering the blade too fast or by pushing the saw too fast.
