SAFETY
THE FOLLOWING WARNING SYMBOL APPLIES TO ALL THE ITEMS LISTED ON THIS PAGE
A potentially hazardous situation exists which, if not avoided, could
result in death or serious personal injury.
Note: Chain breakage can result in high-speed ejection of parts, which can result in death or
serious personal injury to operators or bystanders. The items listed immediately below are
critical to minimizing the risk of chain breakage and injury.
•
DO NOT operate saw with a damaged, modified, or broken side cover or baffle drain. The side
cover and baffle drain provides protection against contact with moving parts, ejected debris,
broken chain, thrown water and concrete slurry.
•
DO NOT exceed 8 gpm (30 lpm) hydraulic flow or 2500 psi (140 bar) hydraulic pressure.
•
DO NOT install or run the chain backwards. The bumper should lead the segment into the cut.
•
DO NOT run the saw motor backwards. The chain should travel away from the operator on the
top of the bar and return on the bottom of the bar.
•
DO NOT insert the diamond chainsaw into a slot narrower than the chain segments. Rapid
pushback might occur. Ref: Most diamond segments are .225 inches wide (5.72 mm).
•
DO NOT use the 814 side cover as a replacement side cover on any other saw.
•
NEVER run a diamond chainsaw upside-down. Concrete debris can fly back into the
operator’s face.
•
NEVER cut ductile iron pipe with the diamond chainsaw. Segment loss or chain breakage may
occur.
•
DO NOT use your hands to search for hydraulic leaks. Hydraulic fluid escaping under
pressure can penetrate skin. If any hydraulic fluid is injected into skin seek medical attention
immediately.
