CAUTION:
The blade depth is approximate and not exact. Many vari-
ables affect the exact blade depth such as the exact diameter of a worn
diamond blade. If an accurate depth must be cut, install the blade to
be used with the engine in the OFF position. Place the Heavy Duty Dust
Buggy in a secure position that allows the blade to overhang and be
visibly measured at full blade depth. An example would be blocking the
wheels with the engine in the OFF position and lowering the Heavy Duty
Dust Buggy blade along side a street curb. This will allow a measure-
ment from the bottom of the blade to the top of the curb.
WARNING:
Breathable silica may be generated by use of this product.
Silica can cause severe and permanent lung damage, cancer, and other
serious diseases. Do not breath the dust. Do not rely on your sight
or smell to determine if the dust is in the air. Silica may be in the air
without a visible dust cloud. If air monitoring equipment for silica is not
provided by your employer at your work site, you MUST wear appropriate
respiratory protection when using or servicing the machine. Consult your
employer and OSHA regarding the appropriate respiratory protection.
5.7
Check for missing or loose bolts. Tighten loose bolts and
replace missing bolts before operating machine. Verify that belt and
blade guards are in place. Never operate a Heavy Duty Dust Buggy with-
out guards in place. See Figure 14 and Figure 15.
5.8 WARNING:
If you can see the drive belt or diamond blade, the
guards are not in place. Never operate a Heavy Duty Dust Buggy without
guards in place. The proper position for the belt guard is bolted with four
bolts to the chassis. The proper position for the blade guard is down with
the white guard dust brush touching the horizontal surface. See Figure
14 and Figure 15.
