area.

This Cut Off Saw is designed for outdoor use only. Do not operate the Cut Off

Saw in a closed area or in a poorly ventilated area. When running, the Engine of

this Cut Off Saw produces carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless, toxic fume

that, when inhaled, can cause serious personal injury or death. Whenever

possible, use a carbon monoxide detector (not included) to detect excessive

carbon monoxide fumes in the work area and in the surrounding area.

Do not force the Cut Off Saw. This tool will do the work better and safer at the

speed and capacity for which it was designed.

FIRE AND EXPLOSION PRECAUTIONS

Gasoline fuel and fumes are ﬂammable, and potentially explosive. Use proper

fuel storage and handling procedures. Always have multiple ABC class ﬁre extin-

guishers nearby.

Keep the Cut Off Saw and surrounding areas clean at all times.

When spills of fuel or oil occur, they must be cleaned up immediately. Dispose

of ﬂuids and cleaning materials as per any local, state, or federal codes and regula-

tions. Store oil rags in a covered metal container.

SKU 94488 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353 PAGE 5

Never store fuel or other ﬂammable materials near the Cut Off Saw.

Do not smoke, or allow sparks, ﬂames, or other sources of ignition around

the Cut Off Saw.

Keep grounded conductive objects, such as tools, away from exposed, live

electrical parts and connections to avoid sparking or arcing. These events

could ignite fumes or vapors.

Do not reﬁll the Fuel Tank while the Engine is running or while the Engine is

still hot. Do not operate the Cut Off Saw with known leaks in the fuel system.

MECHANICAL PRECAUTIONS

Prior to performing service, maintenance, or cleaning procedures, always

make sure the Engine is off. Allow the Engine and Cut Off Saw to

completely cool. Then, remove the spark plug from the Engine.

Do not alter or adjust any part of the Cut Off Saw or Engine that is assembled

and supplied by the manufacturer.

Always follow scheduled Cut Off Saw and Engine maintenance.

CHEMICAL PRECAUTIONS

Avoid contact with hot fuel, oil, exhaust fumes, and solid surfaces.

Avoid body contact with fuels, oils, and lubricants used in the Cut Off Saw and

Engine. If swallowed, seek medical treatment immediately. Do not induce vomiting

if fuel is swallowed. For skin contact, immediately wash with soap and water. For

eye contact, immediately ﬂush eyes with clean water.

NOISE PRECAUTION

Prolonged exposure to high noise levels is hazardous to hearing. Always wear

ANSI-approved hearing protection when operating or working around the Cut Off

Saw when it is running.

SAW BLADE PRECAUTIONS

Only use Saw Blades with the following speciﬁcations:

14” Diameter.

From 7/64” to 1/4” thickness.

1” Diameter spindle mounting hole.

SKU 94488 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353 PAGE 6

Only composite abrasive or diamond abrasive Saw Blades rated at a mini-

mum of 4,700 RPM.

Never use carbide-tipped, woodcutting, or circular machine Saw Blades. They

can cause severe personal injury from reactive forces, blade contact, or thrown

objects.

Only cut asphalt, concrete, stone, brick, and plastics with this Cut Off Saw.

Inspect the Saw Blade frequently, and replace immediately if the Blade is

cracked, or warped. Cracked or warped Saw Blades may shatter or break and

cause serious personal injury.

Always install the Saw Blade so that the arrow on the Blade points in the di-

rection of the rotation of the spindle.

Keep hands and ﬁngers away from the cutting area and Saw Blade.

Never attempt to cut more than one workpiece at a time.

When cutting a large workpiece, make sure its entire length is properly sup-

ported. If necessary, use a roller stand (not included).

Allow the Saw Blade to spin up to full speed before feeding it into a workpiece.

When turning off the Cut Off Saw, allow the Saw Blade to spin down and stop on

its own. Do not press against the Saw Blade to stop it.

Do not force the Saw Blade into the workpiece when cutting. Apply moderate

pressure, allowing the Saw Blade to cut without being forced.

To avoid accidental injury, always wear heavy duty work gloves when chang-

ing the Saw Blade.

The Saw Blade will become hot while cutting. Allow the Saw Blade to completely

cool before handling.

Turn off the Cut Off Saw and allow the Saw Blade to completely stop if the

Saw Blade is to be backed out of an uncompleted cut.

Never attempt to remove material stuck in the Cut Off Saw while it is operat-

ing.

KICKBACK PRECAUTIONS

Make sure the workpiece is free from nails, metal rebar, and any other foreign

objects that could damage the Saw Blade or cause “kickback”.

Causes and operator prevention of “kickback”: Kickback is a sudden reaction

to a pinched, bound, or misaligned Saw Blade, causing an uncontrolled Cut Off

Saw to lift up and out from the workpiece toward the operator. When the Saw Blade

10.

is pinched or bound tightly by the kerf closing down, the Saw Blade stalls and the

engine reaction drives the Cut Off Saw rapidly back toward the operator. If the Saw

Blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut, the teeth at the back edge of the

Saw Blade can raise the Cut Off Saw (walk up) toward the operator. Kickback is a

result of tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can

be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below:

Maintain control of the Cut Off Saw at all times. Never allow the rotating Saw

Blade to rest on the workpiece without holding on to the Saw with both hands.

When the Saw Blade is binding, or when interrupting a cut for any reason,

turn off the Cut Off Saw and hold the Saw motionless until the Saw Blade

comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the Saw Blade from the

workpiece or pull the Saw backward while the Saw Blade is in motion or kick-

back may occur. Investigate and take corrective actions to eliminate the cause

of Saw Blade binding.

When restarting the Cut Off Saw on a workpiece, center the Saw Blade

in the pre-cut kerf and check that the Saw Teeth are not engaged into the

workpiece. If the Saw Blade is binding, the Cut Off Saw may walk up or kick-

back as the Saw is restarted.

Support large panels with roller stands (not included) to minimize the risk

of Saw Blade pinching and kickback. Large panels tend to sag under their

own weight. Supports must be placed under the panel and near the outer edge

of the panel.

Do not use a dull or damaged Saw Blade. Unsharpened or improperly set

Saw Blades produce a narrow kerf causing excessive friction, Saw Blade bind-

ing and kickback.

Push the Saw Blade past the workpiece prior to release.

Make sure to check the Blade Guard for proper operation. Never disable

the Guard. Do not use the Cut Off Saw if the Guard assembly does not oper-

ate properly. Before each use, make sure the Blade Guard does not touch the

Saw Blade.

MISC. PRECAUTIONS

WARNING! Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and

other construction activities, contain chemicals known (to the State of California) to

cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these

chemicals are: lead from lead-based paints, crystalline silica from bricks and ce-

ment or other masonry products, arsenic and chromium from chemically treated

lumber. Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this

type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated
